Украинские и российские лекарства по USPS -можно или нельзя?

[Galileo]

Возможно, следовало в топик "Другое" поместить, но, кажется, тут и актуальнее, и, надеюсь, быстрее ответят.

Легально ли пересылать по почте из одного города США в другой город США лекарства, купленные в другой стране и привезенные с собой в чYмадане?
Кто точно знает? "Мы отсылали и за это ничего нам не было" - нежелательный ответ, хотелось бы знать точно.
Спасибо.

What are the guidelines to sending medicine through the mail?

Many medications are not mailable through the mail by individuals. If you are at all unsure as to whether or not the medicine you have is mailable, you should contact your local Post Office for further assistance.

All prescription, nonprescription, and patent medicines and related items, including solicited and unsolicited samples of such items, that are not considered to be controlled substances, are permitted to be mailed as follows:

1.
For prescription medicines containing a non-narcotic drug(s), the mailer must be a registered practitioner or dispenser mailing to the ultimate user.
2.
Effective February 2, 2006, consumers may mail prescription drugs if/when returning them to drug manufacturers or their agents, pharmacies, and other authorized dispensers and only when the authorized entity provides the consumer with a mailing container bearing merchandise return service permit indicia.
3.
For nonprescription medicines, the mailer must meet all applicable federal, state, or local laws that may apply.

Packaging Guidelines

Each mailpiece containing a mailable drug or medicine (that does not contain a controlled substance) must be held in a plain outer wrapper or packaging. No markings of any kind to indicate the nature of the contents may appear on the outside of the mailpiece.

Note: The term "drug" refers to all prescription, nonprescription, and patient medicines and related items such as aspirin, antiseptics, cold remedies, diet pills, and cosmetic medicines that do not contain a controlled substance and are not poisonous drugs or medicines.

How can I find out if something is mailable?
