MK-677 pre-travel document packet and go/no-go record

Before a trip, record exactly what the product is, where it came from and what papers apply, then work through the go/no-go list. If any line stays unticked, the record says not to carry it. Keep it with your travel papers; it does not make an inadmissible product lawful.

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]
