Bringing prescription drugs like Viagra back into the US from Mexico requires careful attention to regulations. You need a valid prescription from a US doctor.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers may ask to see your prescription. Failure to provide one could result in seizure of the medication. Keep your prescription in its original container, clearly labeled with your name and the dosage information.
The quantity you bring matters. While you can bring in a personal supply, bringing excessive amounts might raise red flags. A personal supply is generally defined as the amount you need for personal use during your trip, not a stockpile. Avoid bringing more than a 3-month supply.
Declare your medication. Honesty is vital. Don’t try to hide the Viagra; declare it on your customs declaration form. This minimizes any potential issues with customs.
Understand that CBP agents have the authority to confiscate medications deemed illegal or exceeding personal use limits. This isn’t necessarily an indication of wrongdoing, but simply enforcement of regulations.
For clarification or further information, contact U. S. Customs and Border Protection directly before your trip. Their website provides detailed information and contact numbers.
