In reply to is it legal to import meds?, posted by inanimate peanut on July 8, 2010, at 15:51:54
If it made it past Customs, you are all set. They tolerate importation of up to a 90 day supply of just about anything as long it is not an illegal substance or a controlled substance. They will frequently open a package, inspect it, reseal it, and send it on its way. Notice I said tolerated. I think in literal terms it is not legal to import non-FDA meds. But it is impossible to enforce. So they tolerate it. With limited resources and millions of pieces of mail, they focus their attention on the real issues....illegals and controlled substances. I really don't think either they or the clerk at the post office care one whit about your antidepressant, antibiotic, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, whatever.
