Sourcing › Regulatory research use only personal import FDA MHRA

Second pass at: Import rules for personal quantities, by jurisdiction, dated Writing it up because I had to work it out twice and would rather nobody else did.

Asking what a regulator's document actually says, since the summaries of it disagree.

I have the primary document open and two secondhand accounts of it that cannot both be right. The primary document is narrower than either.

My question is whether I am reading the scope of it correctly, and what the correct reading rules out as well as what it permits.

Approval status differs by jurisdiction and by indication within a jurisdiction. "Approved" without both is not a statement anybody can use.

Written in the hope of being told what I have missed.
