Denials are usually procedural rather than clinical, and the order that works reflects that.

I read this differently from MikeFit_NJ, on substance rather than tone. 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.

One order arrived in nine days, one was held at the border for a fortnight, and one came back with a seizure notice.

My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from a Canadian pharmacy. Customs can be hit or miss.

Shipping time: 10-21 days
Customs clearance: held for 3 days then released
Quality: Janoshik tested at 97.3% purity

International ordering adds complexity but can save 60-80% compared to US prices. Research your country's import laws first.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. The mechanism and the magnitude are separate questions. Agreeing that something happens says nothing about whether it happens enough to act on.

One thing that is still open after AttorneyGrant’s answer:

What actually works on a prior-authorisation denial, as opposed to the list of things that sound like they should work?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Follow-up — getting the denial reason in writing was the step that mattered. It named the criterion, and the criterion was a document I already had.
