I sent Rick the first post from the most recent thread regarding Legal Gear from Mexico. Here is his response FYI.
I devote a good portion of a chapter in Legal Muscle (which is nearly 400 pages of steroid info!) to exactly what the laws on the books say about importing juice. I can tell you without question that the law [as clarified by regulations] most assuredly does NOT say what those particular Customs inspectors think it does. But I can't speak to how every poor Customs devil sweating his ass off and stuck at any given Mexican border post is going to read or understand the law. There's what the law says and there's how it's (mis)interpreted/enforced. The two aren't always the same. Maybe this "interpretation" will become the norm, to the great delight of many juicers. Or maybe it's a peculiarity of the inspectors at Nuevo Laredo? Or those particular inspectors? Who knows? I will tell you that up until now, I haven't heard of anybody being arrested at the border for importation after having declared their gear in accordance with the regs as being for personal medical use (I've seen lots of people busted who didn't declare). But that's hardly a guarantee.
On the other hand, Legal Muscle tells the disturbing story of xxxxxx, a middle-aged woman whose conviction went all the way up to the high court in Texas. She drove with her son from her home in Sherman, Texas to Nuevo Laredo, where she was examined by a physician fully licensed in Mexico and prescribed diazepam (Valium®) and diethylpropion (an appetite suppressant). She filled the prescription at a Mexican pharmacy in Nuevo Laredo. Upon returning to the U.S., she informed Customs officials that she had controlled drugs and readily presented the medication and the documents related to them. She also signed paperwork indicating that the medication was for personal use. Customs officials had no problems with it. They stamped the documents with the notation “Cleared U.S. Customs, Laredo, Texas,” and she was permitted to proceed. Twenty miles north she stopped at a border check point where her medications were reviewed. She was again allowed to proceed.
Her vehicle was later stopped in Frio County for speeding. The sheriff asked her if she had any prescription medications in the vehicle. She presented the medications and documents to the sheriff, who told her that the possession of prescription Mexican medication was a felony offense. She was arrested right there on the side of the road, hauled off to court, and indicted for felony possession of controlled substances. Surely the case was immediately thrown out? No, federal laws and state laws are different. She was convicted of the charge and sentenced. While the case was ultimately reversed after a lengthy battle in the appellate courts, it stands for the proposition that law enforcers don't always know the law or exercise sound judgment in importation scenarios.
