Reuters: FDA to screen all imports, exemptions for low-value shipments revoked

It's a good thing that the research peptides that I obtain from China are not described as research peptides or drugs.

OK so let me put my input on this real quick The borders and customs patrol are going to have this machine that's going to be able to read chemicals that are on or round packages and they're going to have a database that's going to include our peptides and if the package yields any of those chemicals is going to flag it for inspection. This is a highly advanced machine that can read through packages and X ray with any type of chemical trace at all near the package. They started implementing this in 2017 and have been ongoing and updating ever since with new technology and AI.

And yet the supply of fenty is apparently untouched.

Someone posted in this thread already, the problem is numbers, and to get ACCURACY and VOLUME would take a herculean effort across all customs ports, which I personally doubt the US right now has that skill of organization to actually implement.

Oh, we have the ability and skill to do it if we wanted .. but it would be expensive. Because of that its never going to happen. Let's be honest with ourselves, if they don't stop fenty from getting in, a drug that is literally killing people and costing our economy an estimated 2.3 trillion a year, they are certainly not going to stop GLP-1, a substance that is saving us money. Imagine if every obese person in the US was handed tirzepitide for $50 a month instead of $650. We could end up SAVING an estimated 1.4 trillion a year between lower medical costs, disability expenses, transportation and all the other hidden expenses related to obesity.

Nah, they aren't going to stop the flow of peptides. At most they will make some token efforts every now and then so they can tell big pharma that they tried.
