See the babble thread starting on 11/30/99 to get a better idea of what the FDA or customs actually does with meds ordered from overseas. My impression is that the customs doesn't seize meds like reboxetine, whether it has a doctor's prescription or not. If one was to order a narcotic or other controlled substance without a prescription, it seems that customs may sieze the contents and send you a letter to that effect. That is as far as it goes, jail and other penalties are not an issue as far as I know. But to be fair, James is probably quoting official policy concerning controlled substances. Official policy and actual enforcement actions seem to differ though.
