How many Mexican meds will U.S. Customs let me bring into the United States?
The laws have been changing, so our best answer to this one is, we don t know for sure . The policy at all U.S. Ports Of Entry used to be set by the chief of each port, known as the Port Director. In turn, the Port Director left the issue up to each individual Customs inspector. With over one hundred inspectors at a typical large border crossing or airport Port Of Entry, it was impossible to predict how many meds any one inspector might allow or prohibit. Recently, however, U.S. Customs began to limit the quantity of controlled medicines allowed into the country to fifty doses. We don’t know any further details about this rule but we urge you to check with U.S. Customs before attempting to import more than fifty doses. We mentioned this earlier, but it is so important that we ll repeat ourselves: You must have a valid U.S. or Canadian prescription to bring any controlled medications back into the U.S., even if you bought them with a valid Mexican prescription.
