Moving to USA - importing T prohibited?

Sep 03, 2012 09:07

I'm from Australia, been on T for 7 years and am moving to the USA for a year or so (will mostly be based in SF). I'm on Reandron (Nebido) which I understand still isn't approved for use in the USA. (I can take Primoteston if necessary though and I've heard this is approved for use in the USA.) Basically, I'm wondering if I can take a year's supply of T to the USA or if I'll have to get it in the USA and, if so, how do I do it and will it cost me heaps of money (I'm an Australian citizen)?

Having done a little research, it seems like I won't be able to take T from Australia to the USA. This page at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website (or at least only 3 months worth) says:

"The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) prohibits persons from importing into the United States any prescription drug that has not been approved for sale by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or which is adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Act. Moreover, in those instances where a United States manufacturer makes an FDA-approved prescription drug and sends it abroad, the Act also prohibits any person other than the original manufacturer from importing the drug back into the United States. Thus, in virtually all instances, individual citizens are prohibited from importing prescription drugs into the United States." (Their emphasis!)
