Leaving United Kingdom with protein powder
Personal-use protein powder and sports supplements may be taken out of United Kingdom without export formalities. Retail protein powders are freely exportable in personal quantities. Powders over 350 g may require separate airport security screening in some countries (US, Australia). Destination-side rules on specific ingredients (DMAA, high-dose vitamins) vary.
Personal-quantity protein powder clears as a food supplement. Sealed retail packaging preferred; bulk / loose powder may attract additional inspection.
