The Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) Section 804 permits importation of prescription drugs from Canada by a pharmacist or wholesaler, provided the drugs meet certain minimum standards, will pose no additional risk to the public’s health and safety, and results in a significant reduction in costs to consumers. HHS can approve a program if these conditions are met.
