As overseas travel becomes a popular choice for Taiwanese post-pandemic, the TFDA reminds travelers to be cautious when purchasing items from pharmacies abroad and bringing them back as personal supplies. The TFDA emphasizes the regulations regarding the import of medical equipment to avoid penalties and maintain a positive travel experience. For instance, items like adhesive bandages, cotton swabs, and medical masks have specific quantity limits for easy entry upon returning. Additionally, travelers are reminded to follow rules when bringing medications, with different limits for prescription and over-the-counter drugs, and to be aware of foreign drug composition and regulations. Violators may face fines or criminal charges under relevant laws.
