Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance under the US Controlled Substances Act (21 USC § 812). Travelers may personally import up to a 90-day supply for a valid medical need (FDA Personal-Importation Policy) when the medication is in original labelled packaging accompanied by the physician's prescription or equivalent. Bulk quantities, powders, or anabolic-steroid compounds sold as non-prescription supplements are routinely seized by CBP; DEA Form 486 may be required for documented therapeutic use above the 90-day window.
