Legal Status of Peptides

Carry a prescription. Liquids rule applies at CDG (100ml bag). In France, most peptides fall under pharmaceutical regulation and require a prescription (ordonnance) from a licensed physician. The ANSM oversees drug classification. Travelers carrying personal-use quantities with supporting medical documentation are generally not prosecuted.
