Crossing into Mexico with peptides

Whether you’re driving across at Tijuana, flying into Cancún, or docking at Cabo San Lucas, customs agents mainly care about clarity and organization. Peptides, GLP-1 injectables (like semaglutide or tirzepatide), and BAC water are not restricted when carried in personal-use quantities with visible labeling. Keep vials and syringes in a dedicated medical case—never loose or mixed with toiletries.

TSA & Mexican airport screening

U.S. TSA allows medically necessary liquids and injection supplies in carry-on when properly declared. Mexican airport security follows similar ICAO standards. Your goal: look organized, stay calm, and show documentation only if asked.

Documents & labeling

• Original pharmacy or compounding label with your name.
• Doctor’s note or printed prescription (optional but recommended).
• Printed card: “Medical supplies — peptides & syringes.”

Carry-on organization

• Keep vials upright in a foam or molded slot case.
• Store BAC water separately, labeled upright.
• Pack syringes capped in their own sleeve or mesh pocket.
• Keep gel packs sealed and ready to present as medically necessary cooling.

Storage & temperature control

Most GLP-1 medications (e.g., Ozempic®, compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide) require refrigeration between 2–8 °C / 36–46 °F until use. Peptides can vary by compound—always follow labeling. BAC water and un-mixed vials do not freeze; use insulated storage instead.

Fridge, freezer, or room temp?

• Refrigerate: GLP-1 pens and reconstituted peptides.
• Do NOT freeze: Peptides, BAC water, or insulin-style pens.
• Room-temp stable: Most dry peptide vials when sealed and protected from light.

Transport & day-trip tips

• Use an insulated case with gel packs during airport transfers and excursions.
• Keep the kit in your carry-on or shaded bag; avoid direct sun and hot car interiors.
• At hotels, place vials on a mid-shelf of the mini-fridge (never in the freezer section).

Choosing the correct travel case

A proper case does more than organize — it protects compound integrity. Choose based on your trip length and compound type:

• Weekend or short flight: 4-slot or 6-slot peptide case with one 30 mL BAC slot.
• Long trip or multi-compound user: 12–20 slot organizer with syringe storage and label visibility.
• Color-coded caps: Separate GLP-1, CJC-1295, or TRT vials using flexible snap-on vial caps.

FAQ

Can I legally bring peptides into Mexico?

Yes, for personal use. Keep items labeled and in modest quantity. Declare “personal medical supplies” if asked.

Will airport security confiscate syringes?

No, if stored clean, capped, and declared for medical use. Keep them inside your travel case.

How should I store purchased peptides from a Mexican pharmacy?

Unmixed vials: room-temp shaded. Mixed or reconstituted peptides: refrigerated 2–8 °C. Use a dedicated case for transit home.

Do hotel mini-fridges work?

Yes, mid-shelf placement (avoid freezer section). Use a thermometer if possible; most mini-fridges stay 4–8 °C.
