I’ve brought up to a years supply of medication (5-6 different pills, about 5000 pills total) back from Sri Lanka last year. I had removed the boxes they came in, as they took so much space up. To be able to fit in my carryon, most were in factory blister packs. No customs even glanced at them except for Sri Lanka when exiting. No pain killers, or other really restrictive medications.
Right.
And if I cared enough, I'd open up Google (most often used resource for something like this) and see what I'm dealing with. If it's loose and just in a bag, we have a book of sorts that can identify pills and markings. But something from another country that isn't standardized with no obvious labeling, at worst, we seize it and send it off for testing (rare).
