reading New Zealand threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly

And if you know the current position well, writing it up plainly with a date on it is probably the single most useful thing anyone can post on this board this year.
PBS criteria are published and searchable

ask the pharmacy to check the wholesaler rather than guessing
personal importation rules exist and are narrow
Is this about registration or about subsidy?
