Laws affecting the importation of medication for personal use are different from country to country. For instance, personal drug importation is expressly legal in Australia. In the United States, technically, it is illegal to import unapproved medication under most circumstances, whether through purchase over the Internet or while on a trip to a foreign country. U.S. government officials have stated that individuals who order non-controlled prescription drugs from foreign sources (up to a three-month supply) for their own use are not being pursued or prosecuted.
