I brought back steroids from Mexico...LEGALLY!!!

[ccorah]

Within the next 2 weeks I will try this with 1 primoteston on me to see if it works. If it is illegal, from everything I have read and heard, they will only take it away from me (especially since I will declare it). If it does work I will ask how many primotestons 50 untis would be.

If I remember correctly and it's been a while since I looked at those laws, I believe that 1 dose unit of AAS according to federal guidelines =

50 tabs or 1 - 10 cc vial or 10 - 1 cc amps.

States however have their own guidelines.

ok so a 90 day supply is ok to bring back....well how many primoteston is in a 90 day supply. and what makes you not do it the next day?

I don't know how many amps would make up a 90 day supply but I brought back 15. And there is absolutlely nothing holding you back from doing day after day, they do not take any of your information or document it.

that is 1 unit, not one dose. That is the DEA's guidline for prosecution of dealers.

Seems pretty clear to me. Declare your 50 units without a script and hope that the DEA and FDA doesn't bust you a mile down the road.

Here is the letter I sent to Customs:

To Whom It May Concern
Executive Director, Passenger Programs
U.S. Customs Service
1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Room 5.4D
Washington, DC 20229

To Whom It May Concern:
I have been unable to clearly understand some of the laws regarding the importation of medicine into the United States. It is very important for me to know and follow all the rules regarding medicine. To simplify the reading of my questions, I have provided a list format: (assume all questions regard importation into the US by a US citizen)

1. What is the rule on importing controlled substances into the US without a prescription? From what I understand, and what is stated in the “Know Before You Go” brochure, it is legal to import a 50 day personal supply provided the following: It is not a narcotic (LSD, marijuana, heroine, cocaine,) it must be in its original container, it must be a medication that can be legally prescribed in the US, and you have a written statement confirming all medicine is for personal use. Is this a 100% correct statement?

2. What is the rule on importing non-controlled substances into the US without a prescription? The DEA website among others states a 90 personal supply is allowed. Is this correct?

3. What constitutes a “personal supply,” and by what guidelines is a personal supply derived?

4. If a product contains 100 tablets per bottle and the pharmacist informed you to take 2 daily would that mean 180 tablets (non-controlled) or 100 tablets (controlled) would be allowed?

5. Do medicines that you obtain in a veterinarian apply to this law? For example, if someone owned an older male dog, could the person import a hormone replacement medicine?

6. Are the laws the same for traveling by air rather than by land?

7. Would any of these circumstances change with a prescription from the foreign country?

8. What documents could I take with me such as letters, laws, or brochures that would assure any customs officials that my intentions are legal and how it is legal?

Thank you for your time and effort in regards to my questions. I understand there may be other legal complications involved with other government agencies. I have found the easiest way to become informed is to ask each agency individually. What suggestions can you give me about other agencies to contact?

Thank you,

********

What you have said is true to a degree, it is legal but, this new change does not superseed state and fed laws. A controlled substance like aas is still illegal to import with out a script. As you can see this is all very confussing and Im sure you just lucked out, saying that its know legal everyone go for it is a bit lame, thats like saying hey I drove across and no one stopped me so it must be legal. Its still illegal.

FDA's guidance is not, however, a license for individuals to import unapproved (and therefore illegal) drugs for personal use into the U.S. Even if all of the factors noted in the guidance are present, the drugs remain illegal and FDA may decide that such drugs should be refused entry or seized.

You're a bit off there Plate. Have you read this whole post? The few paragraphs of interest on here come straight off the Customs website.

If you had read this thread you would have seen that when you cross the border they CAN arrest you. Not right across but sometime after because iot would be entrapment.

To all you sceptics out there do a search and find my thread when I got busted bringing it back across. The customs people went over the new laaws with me thoroughly. I know what I am talking about and do not want anything bad to happen to my fellow lifters. If I thought I was wrong in the slightest I would not have posted this thread. It WAS NOT a fluke.
