Personal-use prescription drugs from Canada may not be stopped
What the document says“None of the funds made available in this Act for U.S. Customs and Border Protection may be used to prevent an individual not in the business of importing a prescription drug (within the meaning of section 801(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) from importing a prescription drug from Canada that complies with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act”
Section 227. Border agency money may not be used to stop a person who is not in the importing business from bringing in a prescription drug from Canada that complies with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Provisos limit this to drugs carried on the person, in a quantity of not more than a 90-day supply, and exclude controlled substances and biological products.
What the document actually says“None of the funds made available in this Act for U.S. Customs and Border Protection may be used to prevent an individual not in the business of importing a prescription drug (within the meaning of section 801(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) from importing a prescription drug from Canada that complies with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act”
The border agency may not stop a traveler with medicine from Canada. The drug must meet our own drug law.
The rule covers what a person carries on them. It is capped at a 90 day supply. It does not cover controlled drugs.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
