Carrying unauthorised testosterone is treated as drug importation; HSA approval is granted only for documented medical-replacement therapy.

Leaving Singapore with testosterone

RESTRICTEDTestosterone is a controlled anabolic steroid; personal export from Singapore requires the prescription and stays within personal-use limits.

Testosterone and other anabolic steroids are controlled substances in most jurisdictions (US Schedule III; UK Class C; equivalents elsewhere) under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973; HSA personal-export permit framework. Personal-use quantities for legitimate hormone therapy, accompanied by the prescription and doctor's letter, are generally permitted for export from Singapore. Injectable formulations should stay in pharmacy packaging with needles documented. Quantities beyond personal-use supply are treated as trafficking; a HSA personal export permit is required for above-personal quantities.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Carry documentation. Declare proactively at customs.
