Personal Import Regulations — Know Before You Order

Most Western governments distinguish between *commercial* drug importation — strictly regulated, licensed importers only — and *personal* importation, which is informally tolerated within limits. The personal-use framework exists because patients legitimately need access to medications that may be unavailable domestically, prohibitively expensive at home, or temporarily in shortage.

The typical shape of this framework:

• Quantity caps — usually around a 3-month (90-day) supply
• Personal use only — no resale, no redistribution, no commercial quantities
• Discretionary enforcement — authorities may inspect, question, or seize packages, but generally focus on commercial-scale or genuinely dangerous imports
• Importer of record is you — not LiberaCure; if customs asks, you answer

LiberaCure is built to fit this framework: small personal orders, shipped directly to individuals, from licensed generic suppliers in India.

The rules differ in detail by jurisdiction. Below is a snapshot with links to official guidance. Always verify the current rules before ordering — regulations change, and the authoritative source is the issuing agency itself.

• United States (FDA) — Enforcement discretion under the Personal Importation Policy: typically a 90-day personal supply, for personal use, for a serious condition, with a written affirmation that the product is for personal use. Official FDA guidance.
• United Kingdom (MHRA) — Personal import is permitted under the Medicines Act 1968 and related MHRA guidance. Generally up to a 3-month supply; prescription-only medicines should be imported under the user's own medical supervision. Official gov.uk / MHRA guidance.
• Australia (TGA) — The Personal Importation Scheme permits up to a 3-month supply of most medicines; certain substances and categories are excluded. Official TGA guidance.
• Canada (Health Canada) — The Personal Use Exemption allows residents to import up to a 90-day supply of a prescription drug, or a single course of treatment, for personal use. Official Health Canada guidance.
• Germany (BfArM) — The Medicinal Products Act permits personal import in limited quantities (generally up to a 3-month supply) for individual use, not for commercial purposes. Official BfArM portal.
• France (ANSM) — France permits personal importation of medicines for therapeutic use in limited quantities; the ANSM (Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament) administers the rules and any exceptions. Official ANSM portal.
• Japan (PMDA) — Stricter than most Western countries. Prescription-drug personal import is limited to a 1-month supply without a *Yakkan Shoumei* (import certificate). Know the rules before ordering to Japan. Official PMDA portal.

If your jurisdiction is not listed above, check your national medicines regulator before ordering. If you cannot find clear guidance, do not order.

Our catalog covers generic medications from licensed Indian manufacturers — typically prescription-only molecules such as sildenafil, tadalafil, finasteride, and dutasteride, as well as more jurisdictionally sensitive items such as GLP-1 weight-management drugs (semaglutide-based generics, including Rybelsus and Wegovy-equivalent products) and isotretinoin (acne).

These two categories warrant extra diligence on your part:

• GLP-1 / semaglutide. Several countries have tightened rules, reclassified supply, or imposed shortage-period restrictions on these drugs. Australia under the TGA is one notable example. Check your country's current stance before ordering.
• Isotretinoin / retinoids. Tightly regulated in some jurisdictions due to teratogenicity risk. Personal import may require additional documentation.

We do not act as importer on your behalf. We route your order to a licensed supplier who ships directly to you. Whether any specific medication may lawfully enter your country is a question only you can answer.

LiberaCure does not sell, route, or support any of the following. These are outside our catalog by policy, not by oversight:

• Schedule II / III / IV controlled substances (as classified by the US Controlled Substances Act, UK Misuse of Drugs Act, or equivalent)
• Narcotics, opioids, or benzodiazepines
• Anabolic steroids and performance-enhancing substances not lawfully available as generic medicines
• Medications intended for resale or any commercial quantity
• Items prohibited under international postal convention

If you need something outside our catalog, we are not the right service.

By placing an order with LiberaCure, you confirm that:

• The products are for your personal use (or for a member of your immediate household)
• You have reviewed the import regulations of your country, state, or province
• You will handle any customs declarations, inspections, or duty payments required by your jurisdiction
• You acknowledge that customs may, at its discretion, delay or seize a parcel, and that such decisions are outside our control
• You are not reselling, redistributing, or commercially deploying any product purchased through us

Everything on this page is informational only. It is not legal advice. Regulations change. Enforcement policies change. If you are uncertain whether a specific medication may lawfully be imported into your jurisdiction, consult an attorney licensed in that jurisdiction, or contact your national medicines regulator directly. LiberaCure is not responsible for any enforcement action arising from your personal import.
