UK personal medicine import considerations
UK government guidance explains that medicines imported by an individual for use by themselves or a member of their household may fall under a personal-import exemption from certain medicines licensing requirements. This does not override controlled-drug restrictions, prescription/supply rules, or customs requirements. Importing medicines for onward sale follows different rules. Northern Ireland can have additional requirements. Read the UK parliamentary explanation and Home Office controlled-drug guidance.
Important: Guidance on a three-month supply for travellers carrying controlled medicines must not be interpreted as permission for international postal shipments. Controlled drugs cannot simply be posted from overseas under the traveller exemption.

Common questions
Can every prescription medicine be imported?
No. Personal-use exemptions are limited in scope; controlled medicines, supply restrictions and other applicable rules require separate checks.
Can controlled drugs be mailed from abroad?
Not through the traveller personal-import allowance; Home Office guidance warns against overseas postal supplies.
Does the city change UK import law?
Not generally. The principal import framework is national, although Northern Ireland arrangements may differ.
