U.S. LAWS ON IMPORTING DRUGS: IMPORTS ARE
PERMITTED BUT NOT TECHNICALLY LEGAL
Importing prescription medication into the
U.S. by individuals for personal use is technically illegal. In practice,
however, Americans who import medicine for private use by either taking it
across the border or having it mailed to them are not typically prevented from
doing so. More specifically, the FDA recognizes that the task of monitoring all
drug imports is more than it can handle and offers guidelines for its
government officials to use discretion in allowing imports. In accordance with
these guidelines and those relating to purchasing drugs online, imports are
usually allowed if the shipment 1) is for personal use only, 2) does not exceed
a 90-day supply, and 3) does not include controlled substances. For detailed
information on this policy see the FDA Coverage of Personal Importations policy
at http://www.fda.gov/ora/compliance_ref/rpm/chapter9/ch9-2.html.
You
need to check your local laws regarding importation of medications from other
countries. Some countries are more strict as well are some localities.
