Perhaps another ban is in order for misinformation?

So let me get this straight because PCT Zone doesn’t wanna take on the risk of seizures. You’re telling everyone that everything from India just stops because PCT Zone says so.

This really doesn't seem related. They're just merging two existing systems, you don't need to stop shipping to entire countries for that. What's more likely is they're suspending service to the US to try and figure out how to move forward with the end of de minimus.

Lol. LMAO even.

Yes, a bunch of countries are suspending service while they figure out how to go from transmitting the small amount of advance electronic customs info previously required for de minimus packages, 7 basic pieces of data, to full standard customs requirements, 40+ pieces of detailed information going into explicit detail about every item in the package.
The biggest immediate impact of all this will be an even greater reduction in package volume, allowing customs to focus more on the smaller number packs coming through.

It was the tidal wave of packs that overwhelmed customs and made the chances of contraband slipping through so high. 85% down from China, now another big reduction from the rest of the world.
Money already allocated by law for 4000 more customs officers and billions in ultra high tech advanced scanning equipment.
Government doesn't move fast, but don't be lulled into a false sense of security by the proud no-nothing's here who insist nothing will change. Keep a big buffer of essentials stocked, and top off as you use it up and what you need is still available. The critics here won't be offering to share their stash with you when they're proven wrong.

Having Millard on speed dial #1 and emergency contact for your knitting group does not constitute friendship
Are you conflating PCTZone and PCT24x7?

Then what do you do when the few years are up?

The idea of a buffer supply of anything is to ride out disruptions, whether it's 3 months or 6 years, long enough for an alternate system of distribution to develop. It's reasonable to expect that some enterprising seller will figure out another method of selling what you want, even if it's only a short lived loophole. With most drugs being very stable, long past their expiration date, especially in cool storage, how much of a buffer depends on how critical something is to you, whether it's replaceable via some alternate method like a prescription, and your wallet.
You need to figure out what's important to you (or may be in the future), and triage what to stock up on, prioritizing the stuff that impossible or difficult to replace.
For something that irreplaceable, like Cilnidipine, given it's relatively inexpensive I'm comfortable with a 7 year supply. Modafinil is technically available via a prescription but good luck trying to get it. Another candidate for a multi year supply. For other things. like 5mg isotretinoin, it doesn't have a very long shelf life and if I have to, I can get 10mg gelcaps for every other day, though not ideal dose, a hassle to get a prescription, and much greater expense, but not impossible, So in that case no more than a year's worth of that for me.

I'm only after the raw test base for my own hrt which needs to be for the rest of my life. I have enough to last a bit as I moved quickly to figure this out and stock up when I saw the writing on the wall regarding attacks on trans health care prior to the US election... and what's now coming true with government players trying to stop us from accessing hrt altogether. I just hope it's enough to ride out what's a disruption and that this doesn't become permanent inability to access. The diy has been great for me, wish I would have done it sooner tbh.

Given that doctors can prescribe any drug for "off label" use* Test isn't a huge concern for me. I prefer to have my own supply of course, to control my own healthcare, but worst comes to worst, someone, like a concierge doc will write a prescription for enough $$$.
*except growth hormone, the only drug with no permissible off label use, by law.

Honestly, this is why I'd recommend anybody with a highschool-level science education and a willingness to experiment to research synthesis of testosterone from DHEA,
There are several routes that are either 2 or 3 step procedures that can be performed with nothing more than basic glassware, and common + legally available reagents.
For 2-step procedures, you have:
- NaBH4 + Activated MnO2
- NaBH4 + Oppenauer
And for 3 step, the "easy" route is:
- NaBH4 + TEMPO/NaOCl (Bleach) + HCl
Oppenauer might be a little trickier at home, but MnO2 or TEMPO should be cake for most people.
The high-level idea is the below, which has a billion resources online for each reaction:
1) Reduction of 17-Keto -> 17b-HO
2) Oxidation
3) Isomerize the 5 double bond -> 4 position
The 2-step procedures combine oxidation + isomerization
Postal services in India, Europe to suspend shipment of packages to U.S. over import tariffs
Multiple postal services, including in India and around Europe, say they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid a lack of clarity over new import duties.
