Palau - Entry Form re: Medication

[Kryssa]

Question for anyone who has traveled to Palau -

The online entry form asks if you’re bringing drugs and we always travel with some OTC staples (Advil, Sudafed, Immodium, etc) and a couple of personal prescriptions.

It seems like the form is asking me to list each separately. Can I just list them as “medications” and put “personal use” in the notes box?

i doubt its referring to over the counter stuff

That would make sense but it actually says “prescription or non-prescription.”

If you flight goes via Japan then you better leave out Sudafed.
This medication is also NOT allowed into Philippines.

Not an issue for our itinerary - thanks though!

For anyone who finds this thread in the future - I did select “yes” for drugs, said 12 quantity, $200 value, and in the notes box wrote “for personal use only” and it was no issue. They asked if we had anything to declare at customs and I said “some medication for personal use only” and they didn’t even ask for details, just let us through.
