This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. Import rules are jurisdiction-specific and this board keeps giving US-shaped answers to non-US questions. What is a personal-import allowance in one country is a controlled-import offence in another.
Worth separating that from the lipid panel, which this thread keeps folding into the same question. They behave differently and the advice does not transfer.

My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from an Indian manufacturer. Customs can be hit or miss.
Shipping time: 14-28 days
Customs clearance: required import documentation
Quality: Janoshik tested at 97.6% purity
International ordering adds complexity but can save 60-80% compared to US prices. Research your country's import laws first.

Coming at sarah.morrison’s question from a different direction. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.

Whether an unchanged LDL-C alongside a large triglyceride fall is a good result or a bad one, because ApoB and LDL-C seem to be telling different stories?
Closing the loop on my own question.
Closing the loop. The answer turned out to depend on the detail I had left out of the opening post, which is a lesson about how to ask rather than about the subject.
