Melanin is not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 so no advice is given by the Home Office to people travelling abroad with this substance.<\/p>
<\/p>
For other medicines, which contain controlled drugs and have been prescribed to them personally, travellers are always advised to check with the relevant foreign embassy or high commission before travel to ascertain the legality of the product in the destination country and any applicable licensing requirements. An import/export licence may be issued by the Home Office in certain circumstances to cover the crossing of UK borders.<\/p>
<\/p>
More information is available on the Home Office website:<\/p>
