Hello Everyone,
Today my cat received a very small shipment of a schedule IV drug from a European IOP. The package was stamped “OPENED BY US CUSTOMS FOR TARIFF PURPOSES (city removed). PASSED FREE.”

Inside, the meds were still there, but a slip of paper with the following text was inserted:

WARNING
The Food and Drug Administration prohibits the importation, by mail or in person, of fraudulent prescription and non prescription drugs and medical devices. These may include unorthodox cures for medical conditions including cancer, AIDS and multiple sclerosis. While these drugs and devices may be completely legal elsewhere, they may not have been approved for use in the United States, even under a prescription issued by a foreign physician. They may not legally enter the United States and may be confiscated upon arrival by mail.
For additional information, contact you nearest Food and Drug Administration Office,
(address removed).


The package was resealed perfectly- I wouldn’t have know that it was opened if they didn’t tell me.

My question is: Why didn’t they take it? Any ideas?

Thanks,
D

This has happened to me twice and it was after 9/11. Maybe it depends on the amount. Who knows really? Best part is you received and just got the FDA "dangers of buying non-US produced products." A seizure letter is a totally different thing and your package would have been empty.
