Germany legal status — best-available proxy
Our substance schema currently tracks the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Australia directly. For Germany we display the closest-available reference (the European Union classification) as a proxy. The actual Germany classification may differ — particularly for racetams, peptides, and prescription-only compounds. Verify with BfArM (Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte) or a Germany-licensed pharmacist before importing.

Shipping to Germany
EU-internal shipments typically arrive in 3–5 business days. iHerb operates a dedicated Germany warehouse with 2–3 day Hermes delivery. US-based vendors ship via DHL Express (3–5 days) or standard post (10–14 days), with the slower channel exposing parcels to greater customs delay.
Customs and import notes
Germany applies Mehrwertsteuer (VAT, 19%) on imported supplements at the point of customs clearance. Modafinil is a verschreibungspflichtig (prescription-only) drug; importation without prescription faces seizure. The Arzneimittelgesetz (AMG) classifies many synthetic nootropics as Arzneimittel rather than supplements, meaning vendors marketing them as food products risk enforcement. Established botanicals and amino acids (Bacopa, L-theanine, ashwagandha, taurine) sit clearly in Lebensmittelrecht (food law) territory.
Import responsibility: You — not the vendor — are responsible for ensuring that the substance you order can legally enter Germany. Vendors typically state their shipping policy but cannot guarantee customs clearance in every jurisdiction; refunds for seized parcels are rare. If you have any doubt about Lion's Mane’s status in Germany, do not order until you have verified with a pharmacist, customs broker, or qualified clinician.

Prices in EUR
Prices in our vendor table are shown in USD. To convert to EUR (€), use the live FX rate at checkout — vendors typically charge in their local currency and let your card handle conversion, or in EUR directly if the vendor maintains a Germany storefront.
For shipments from outside Germany, factor in (a) shipping cost (commonly USD 10–25 international standard or USD 25–55 express), (b) customs VAT/duty (commonly applied above a national de-minimis threshold), and (c) any payment-network FX margin. The cheapest sticker price in the table is rarely the cheapest landed cost once these are added.
