Source and dispensing entityname, address, lot number if shown
Prescription or clinician letter that actually appliesyes / no; copy attached
Storage instructions from a legitimate product-specific sourcewrite none if there are none

If any line stays blank, do not carry the product and do not plan to buy a replacement abroad.

What the U.S. agencies say
- TSA recommends, but does not require, labeled medications so screening goes faster; screening is not legal permission.[1]
- CBP: keep medication in its original container with the prescriber's instructions, and travel only with medication prescribed to you or legally obtained in the United States.[2]
- CBP: in most cases it is illegal for a U.S. citizen to bring back drugs obtained abroad for personal use.[2]
- FDA: a drug that is unapproved in the U.S. is illegal to import even if another country approves it.[3]
- FDA may refuse a personal import that appears to present a serious risk to health.[3]
