Unless you are attempting to import A LOT of scheduled r/x medications (normally of the opiate class, numbering in the thousands of pills), you will receive what is called a love letter. There are bigger fish to fry than a housewife in Nebraska ordering 2 months worth of valium. A love letter will state basically what I outlined in my earlier post. Here is an example (note it looks scary, but read it -- nothing:

Believe it or not, tens of thousands of "illegal" prescription drugs enter through US customs daily. If CBP were to attempt to locate and prosecute every recipient of these drugs they would touch a drop in the bucket. And it would not be worthwhile. The recipients recourse is practically limitless with a half decent attorney, if you even needed one. Locating and prosecuting international online pharmacies would normally prove to be just as pointless. Every few years the FDA and CBP will bust up an international conglomerate responsible for bringing X amount of r/x into the states. As the Feds cheer victory, the same conglomerate is restored in a matter of months or weeks, and several new ones spring up in the interim as well to pick up that lost business. "The war on drugs"

In 2011 it is still the wild wild west with respect to obtaining illegal prescription drugs from overseas. edit; doh! I mean 2010 - not 2011. gettin ahead of myself..
