| Hi Hazel, I'm happy to see your presentation. I just want to bring to your attention that TRIPS article 60 allows for the importation of generics to any member nation for a 3 month supply. "In accordance with Article 60, Members may exclude from the application of these procedures de minimis imports, i.e. small quantities of goods of a non-commercial nature contained in travellers' personal luggage or sent in small consignments." I received my medication in the USA and I was not part of Dr. Freeman's Redemption trial; and I did declare it to customs. It is totally legal. Gt 1a, F0, VL 6.5 million, AST 59, ALT 62 Started Twinvir 1/15/16 6 wk. labs VL UND, AST 27, ALT 20 EOT labs VL UND, AST 23, ALT 19 SVR 16, VL UND, AST 28, ALT 17 SVR 24 , VL UND, 10/8/16 SVR 125, VL UND, 9/22/18 SVR 230, VL UND, 10/3/20 |

Hi Greedfighter, Article 60 of the World Trade Organisation says members may, rather than must... Many countries prohibit personal imports. The FDA rules are here: www.fda.gov/forindustry/importprogram/im...basics/ucm432661.htm And basically say it is illegal except if... So the reality is that personal inportation is not a right in the USA. It is a discretionary power around the “except if...” The FDA has been clamping down on it so as you’ve said before - if you are sitting on the fence get yours while the getting is good! YMMV | |
