重視保健的國人，出國旅遊經常攜帶保健用品或藥品回國。但是藥品跟菸酒一樣是有數量限制的，特別是藥品之輸入與通關。
舉例而言，藥事法第22條規定，未經核准擅自輸入藥品即為禁藥：又依同法第82 條規定，製造或輸入禁藥者，處十年以上有期徒刑、得併科新台幣一億萬元以下罰金。
又，依「入境旅客攜帶自用藥物限量表」https://www.roc-taiwan.org/public/JP_collar/572215381271.pdf之規定，該表所列之自用藥物，旅客以攜帶6種為限，而各該種類又有總量限制。
表列之自用藥品與限量，例如：萬金油（3大瓶或12小瓶）、八卦丹（12小盒）、龍魚散（6小盒）、𩥈風油（2瓶）、中將湯丸、（紅340粒裝2瓶或白490粒裝2瓶）、Salonpes（五十片盒裝2盒）、硫克肝（300粒平裝2瓶）、正露丸（400粒平裝2瓶）、胃藥（1000粒瓶裝1瓶）、Menthoat贝（瓶裝6瓶）、辣椒膏（24片盒裝2盒、朝日萬金意（5片盒裝6盒）、Alinamin （290 粒裝2瓶）等藥品，其他例如：口服維生素藥品12瓶，但總量不得超過1200顆：錠狀、膠囊狀食品每種12瓶但其總量不得超過2400粒，1200粒至2000 粒應向衛生署申辦樣品輸入手續；中藥材及中藥成藥（中藥材每種0.6公斤，合計12種）；中藥成品每種12瓶，總數不得超過36瓶（盒；隱形眼鏡（盒裝或散裝6對）等。
此外：自用藥物如為「管制藥品」的話，您有醫院診所之證明，以治療其本人疾病為限，攜帶總量亦不得超過該醫療證明之處方量。
表列之自用藥品多深受民眾喜愛，下次出國回來時，記得不要超量，以免不必要之困擾。

Many health-conscious travelers like to bring health supplements or medicine back home from overseas trips. However, just like tobacco and alcohol, there are limits on how much medicine you can bring in to the country. Bringing too much can cause legal trouble, especially since importing medicine is strictly regulated.
For example, according to Article 22 of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, any medicine brought into the country without prior approval is considered illegal. Furthermore, Article 82 of the same law states that anyone who manufactures or imports illegal drugs shall be subject to punishment with imprisonment for a period of not more than ten (10) years and may, in addition thereto, be imposed with a fine of not more than NT$100,000,000.
Also, according to the "List of Quantity Limits for Personal Use Medicine Brought by Inbound Travelers," https://www.roc-taiwan.org/public/JP_collar/572215381271.pdf,
Travelers are only allowed to bring up to 6 different types of personal-use medication. Each type also has its own limit on how much we can bring.
Listed personal-use medicines and limits:
• White flower oil (3 large bottles or 12 small bottles)
Bagua Dan (12 small boxes)
• Ryukakusan (6 small boxes)
• Wind repellent oil (2 bottles)
• Zhongjiang Tang pills (2 bottles of red 340-pills pack or white 490-pills pack)
• Salonpas (2 boxes of 50 patches)
• Liu Ke Gan (2 bottles of 300 tablets per bottle)
• Seirogan (2 bottles of 400 tablets per bottle)
• Stomach medicine (1 bottle of 1000 tablets)
• Mentholatum (6 bottles)
• Capsicum plaster (2 boxes of 24 patches)
• Asahi Wanjin plaster (6 boxes of 5 patches)
• Alinamin (2 bottles of 290 tablets)
Other products:
• Oral vitamins (12 bottles, total not exceeding 1200 tablets)
• Tablets and capsules (12 bottles per type, total not exceeding 2400 tablets; for amounts between 1200 to 2000 tablets, sample import procedures should be applied to the Health Department)
• Chinese medicinal herbs and products (Herbs: 0.6 kg per type, total of 12 types)
• Chinese medicine products (12 bottles per type, total not exceeding 36 bottles or boxes)
• Contact lenses (6 pairs, either in box or loose packaging)
In addition, if the personal-use medication is classified as a "controlled drug," you must have a certificate or prescription form a hospital or clinic, and it must clearly state that the medication is for treating your own medical condition. The amount we bring must not exceed the quantity listed on the prescription.
Many of the medications listed above are popular among travelers, but remember - next time you return form a trip, don't bring more than the allowed limit. Doing so can lead to unnecessary trouble.
