Narcotics and dangerous drugs are prohibited entry. There are severe civil and/or criminal charges up to 20 years in prison if you bring illegal drugs through Customs.

If you require medicines containing habit-forming drugs or narcotics (e.g., cough medicine, diuretics, heart drugs, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, antidepressants, stimulants, etc.), you must:

Have all drugs, medicines, and similar products properly identified;

Carry only such quantity as would normally be used by an individual having the health problem requiring the drugs or medicines in your possession;

Have either a prescription or written statement from your personal physician that the medicine is being used under a doctor's direction and that it is necessary for your physical well-being while traveling.

Declare such drugs or medications to the Customs officer.
