From 12 November, people entering South Korea can carry up to six units (about a three-month supply) of weight-loss drugs such as Wegovy and Mounjaro if they were legally prescribed and bought abroad. Customs caught 1,097 unauthorised imports of the two drugs between January and August, and officials will monitor for storage, misuse and resale problems.
