I am in Toronto, having just attended the GHS. Had an info booth, presented a poster, and did a talk about medication pricing. Video link to come



I also made a compilation of stories sent to me by hepsters on facebook:

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
