E-DRUG: List of drugs prohibited for importation per country
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear all,
Does anyone of you have a list of prohibited drugs for importation per
country?
Recently, we faced few issues with customs in the countries we are
implementing programs and we had to send back some of the drugs to our
supplier because of forbidden importation of such drugs.
Thank you in advance for your feed back.
Sincerely yours,

E-DRUG: List of drugs prohibited for importation per country (2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In countries I have been associated with, they do it the other way. There is a list of medicines ALLOWED into the country and the importers are registered. A good relationship between the Pharmaceuticals Department and the Customs, means that Customs will telephone the pharmacy department if suspect consignments arrive. This sort of process can be spelt out in the National Medicines Policy.
Best wishes
