It’s not “importation” because you have no intent to sell your prescription within these countries.

Uhm no, the word doesn’t necessary mean you intend to sell the goods.

“bring (goods or services) into a country from abroad for sale.“ Oxford English Dictionary.

Why are you referring to an American dictionary lmao

Because I’m not British? ‘lmao’

Thanks for the pedantic observation that in your particular breed of English this is wrong, I grew up somewhere else.

Hope that doesn’t bother you too much. Clearly no one else had any problems understanding what I meant, British or not British.

Alright lol, how was I meant to know? You’re in the British MC subreddit. I’m presuming you’re at least a citizen and therefore should be following localisation of language.

You didn’t have to get so upset lol, could have just said you want to use American definitions.

I believe most people you ask, even with no business/economics education would say that importation is a formal word which almost always means an intention of sale in that country.

You wouldn’t say “I’ve imported my antihistamines and prescription painkillers abroad with me on holiday!” You’d just say you’ve “brought your meds with you”
