Many states have laws that require controlled substances, tylenol #3, to be in a properly labelled bottle with pharm, doc, and patient info. Bringing T#3 from outside the US you would not have this so that would be an issue, but the LE have to find it first.

Also, driving under the influence of T#3 is the same as driving under the influence of any other opiate, like heroin or hydro. It is also a crime in most states. The officer could test you in the field by looking for dilated pupils, slurred or slow speech, poor balance, droopy eyelids, etc. This would be enough to arrest for DUI, not to mention search and impound vehicle. If an officer suspects drugs in a DUI case the standard procedure for all departments I have worked for is to require a urine test , but blood will also work. The urine test we use covers virtually all opiates including codeine.

Finally, LE needs less reason to search a vehicle or person near an international border. Even local cops can make a case for searching a vehicle from far less than they would normally need within a couple of miles of a border.

Hope this helps.
