Can I order controlled prescription drugs from foreign pharmacies?

Yes and No. It depends. In most cases the answer is: NO

Click here for a very long legal overview.

Many foreign pharmacies say it is legal to order for personal use and some pharmacy watch groups try to lure members by telling them that after paying the membership fee they will learn how to legally order (any drug) without a prescription, bla, bla, bla. They are not telling the truth.

Also note that many so called "online pharmacies" are not licensed as pharmacies in any way...


The law is simple. Prescription drugs require a prescription. Controlled prescription drugs require a prescription and a permit from the DEA. This permit is not easy to obtain by the average person



It is not the same to order meds by mail than to carry your meds with you when you travel.

To see a sample of a seizure letter - and warning - sent by customs to those that ordered controlled substances abroad and had their orders intercepted: click here

The following is a an older letter, from 2003, received by a person that ordered Alprozalam (Xanax) from a "foreign pharmacy"

Quote:

"US Customs Service

22685 Holiday Park Drive, Suite 15

Sterling, VA 20166





Dear Mr. XXXXXX:



This is your official notification that on April 28, 2003, Inspectors of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection seized 14.7 grams of Alprazolam found in a parcel addressed to you at the Dulles International Mail Facility. The items have an estimated appraised value of $6.00. The substances were being imported in violation of Title 19, United States Code (USC), section 1497 "Penalties for Failure to Declare," Title 21 USC, section 953, "Importation of Controlled Substances," Title 19 USC, section 1595(a) "Merchandise Introduced Contrary to Law," 18 United States Code, section 545 "Smuggling" and Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, part 1312, "Importation and Exportation of Controlled Substances."



This notice also serves as an official notification that administrative forfeiture proceedings shall be instituted against the seized merchandise. Please be advised that the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection will advertise the substances by posting a "Notice of seizure and Intent to Forfeit" at the Port of Washingtond, D.C. The first noticed will be published on or about Monday, June 02, 2003.



Under provisions of Title 19, USC, section 1618, you have the right to petition for administrative relief from forfeiture of the seized drugs. Your petition must include a copy of the approved DEA form 236 you filed prior to importation of your shipment. Please be aware that the submussion of a prescription will not grant release of these drugs. You must file your petition with this office within 30 days from the date of this letter, or your merchandise will be forfeited to the U.S. Government and destroyed in accordance with the law. If you fail to respond to this notice within the 30-day period, the controlled substances will be forfeited to the United States Government and the case will be considered close.



The enclosed notice of Seizure and Information for Clamaints explains your options for remission of the forfeiture. Ifyou choose to petition for relief from forfeiture, you must complete and submit the enclosed Election of Proceedings form along with your petition. This submission will defer the judicial or administrativve proceedings until completion of the administrative process.



To advoid any future violations, your doctor or pharmacist must comply with the Drug Enforcemnt Administration requirement. All controlled substances imported should be registered abd the appropriaete import declaration, DEA form 236, is filed with DE not less than 15 days before importation. Ordinary citizens are not permitted to import scheduled drugs. However, if you think you may be eligibke please request and file all applications with the DEA, International Drug unit, Washington, D.C. 20537.



All petitions should be filed in duplicate and forwared to Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, Port Case Numbers, Fines, Penalties, and Fofeitures Office, P.O. Box 17423, Washington, D.C. 20041. If you have any questions contact xxx at (703) 318 - 5900 ext. xxx



Sincerly,

14.7 grams is 14,700 milligrams. That would be 14,700 xanax pills if they were 1 mg. each. A street value of 6 dollars???? Sure thing.

if a substance is unscheduled, is this possible to have happen as well? Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) is unscheduled as far as I know, would customs seize such an order if purchased from an IOP?

As I am new to this forum, but see that I could be of help to some people in this area, please let me know if anyone needs advice here. I recently received such a letter, and it came to my place of business - and I was in HEAPS of trouble over it as a result.

Yet I am still dumbfounded as to why it came to my work and also why it came at all: I had received all of my outstanding orders from overseas that I had paid for - so this was extremely troublesome.

In essence, I was confronted with all but a company 'intervention' of sorts...and I never wish to experience it again. I should mention that mine is a family business -- but still --- very embarrassing to say the LEAST!

I wouldn't suggest this...read my post earlier. However, I have found wonderful sites right here in our good ol' US of A. I don't know if I should disclose the names, however; as I do not want to lose a good thing. I think they are doing a legal service, but, since I cannot be one hundred percent sure, well...enough said!

if you want Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) buy it from a LEGIT IOP like mastersmarketing (30$/100) which does everything legal (like declaring it proper)

Hi - newbie here (*so be gentle*) - but I don't understand why someone in the U.S. would want to even deal with an overseas OP....I mean, aside from customs concerns, what about ingredients and such? It just seems to me that there are plenty of US OP's (even some w/no R's)so I dont' understand why even deal with the overseas mess and craziness?

Well if you have no records or old records then you are limited to nrops or iops. Most nrops are not shipping but still accepting money. So you send them $200 for for say (90)2mg Generic xanax. You wait two weeks and receive nothing beause the pharmacy the nrop was using to fill the prescriptions is under investigation. While all along you could have sent that $200 resonable iop and received much more mgs in xanax and received in about 2 weeks aswell. Iops have a much higher risk of being confiscated by customs at an entry point. But as long as you are importing a reasonable amount you normally will only receive a letter from customs.

Now in some states I have heard about people going to pick up their packages at fedex from rops only to have the police stop them as they exit the facility. Most people assume rops are fully legal. But some states require a face to face consulation for a prescription. Which rops can not do. So some unlucky people are being arrested.

Hmmmm...well thanks for answering that for me Gumbi (love your username by the way!)...I was curious...I guess if I were in that situation it would be a viable option...how sad that in America that people who have CP (chronic pain) have to add all this stress and tension, just because we want a higher quality of life....but thanks for settin' me straight - I hope you have a wonderful day!

You ask why deal with overseas folks? Have yolu noticed who makes the best electronics, cars, watches, clothes (and I could go onm)? It ain't the good old US of A. And I like to buy American if possible, but some "foreign" products are better quality. Now, when you are dealing with so-called "third world" companies I can see where you might have some concerns, but even their medication is suprisingly good. Most problems occur are not bad meds, but bogus meds.
End of rant.
Best wishes to all.

from close friends past experiences even before the usa breakdown of the internet industry


i would advise stay away ---- the prices arent the same -- the quality can be questionable and 50 percent or more you are waiting for the shipment

and unfortunately the dea takes your information as it gets seized at customs 45 percent of the time -- i dont even want to imagine what they do with the collection of names and products ?

gd luk if you feel confident to roll the dice

peace n respect

No offense meant, Admin, but there ARE exceptions to that rule; one I know of personally. As I live near the Canadian border (in two different states), you ARE allowed to purchase 222's (or generic equivalent), also known as Tylenol #2 and transport it across the border. There is a limit, of course, but I believe it is 100 tabs per person per trip.

I have also had relatives who live near the Mexican border and purchase various meds down there to transport with no Customs probs.

Just sharing - don't shoot the messenger - LOL!

Admin comments: I take no offense. Why would your comment offend me or anyone?
Note it is not the same to travel into the USA with prescription drugs as ordering prescription drugs to be sent to you in the mail. Travellers are allowed to travel with a certain, reasonable amount of legally obtained prescription drugs. This thread is about ordering controlled substances abroad and having them sent to you by mail, Fedex, or similar...
