Medical SuppliesPrescription medication for legitimate health conditions may come under intense scrutiny by foreign officials. In some countries, drugs that are legal and readily available in Canada will be considered illegal, require a prescription, or arouse the suspicions of local officials and customs and immigration authorities. Take appropriate precautions when travelling with such supplies. It is always best to contact the Foreign Government Offices Accredited to Canada of the country you plan to visit to confirm the status of your medication.
Travelling with Prescription or Over-the-Counter Medication & Syringes
How Should I Pack My Medication?
Travel to the U.S.Canadian visitors to the United States should be aware that their personal medication may be subject to U.S. drug importation laws and regulations. In general, personal importation of a 90-day (three month) supply of medication is allowed, but only if the drug is not available in the United States. U.S. Customs officials have relaxed their policy on importation of prescription drugs through the mail from Canada. However, all packages are still carefully scrutinized. For further information, please visit the Web site of the US Food and Drug Administration.
