On June 10th, President Trump signed the Secure America Act, allocating $69.5 billion to fully fund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through September 30, 2029.

Indirect Impact on Peptide Imports​

The Act allocates $3.45 billion specifically for new nonintrusive inspection equipment, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies to combat the entry of illicit narcotics and improve screening at ports of entry. Since the FDA already classifies most non-pharmaceutical peptides as unapproved new drugs subject to detention (under Import Alert 66-78), this funding will likely lead to:

  • Higher Seizure Rates: Advanced AI-driven scanning will improve CBP's ability to identify and detain peptide shipments that previously might have slipped through.
  • Increased Scrutiny: The focus on "illicit narcotics" and "precursor chemicals" often encompasses unapproved pharmaceutical substances, including research peptides.

I think it's going to get harder to to get cheap peptides in the future.

Broader Enforcement Trends​

This increase aligns with wider CBP statistics for Fiscal Year 2026. Through March 2026, CBP reported a 24% increase in total drug seizures compared to the same period in FY 2024. While this statistic covers all narcotics, the agency has explicitly linked improved detection rates to new nonintrusive inspection equipment and AI-driven targeting tools—technologies further funded by the Secure America Act to identify illicit pharmaceuticals and precursor chemicals more effectively.

iow, it is already happening, and we know this. Now they will purchase more scanners and such.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.
 
They'll still be able to get it through smuggling routes from Canada. It'll be just like during Prohibition. Wait, when was that again, the '20s?

Now this man is trying to keep me from being a hottie with a killer figure and great skin. 🙄

True LOL. I’ve worked for a government org before and it took months just to get a desk removed from the office.

Right . . . didn't this and previous admins say they were gonna stop fentanyl imports, too?

Ironically, some of the fentanyl facilities have now been repurposed for peptides. Fentanyl use and deaths have both been down significantly in the US the past 1-1/2 years. That appears to be driven by the demand side, not by govt intervention.
 
Price on GLP1s is still coming down, so not worried about enforcement. We know that the Chinese wouldn't lower prices if they were not making at least 10x. More importantly, I've got more than 5g of my favorite GLP1 stocked.

It's not published, but likely only 1-3% of peptides are seized. There are over a billion packages a year, four million a day (all packages, not just peptides). $3.4 billion more might increase peptide seizures to 2-5%. Vendors make a killing and prices will continue coming down regardless if they have to reship 2-5% of shipments.

I’m surprised if it was 1-3 percent. The other thing, is size of the shipment. Maybe some newbie gets excited and stops a small box of peptides. But do they really give a damn about some small box of peptides. Sitting here in a hotel about to take a HGH shot from a vial I brought and reconstituted, I realized that enforcement could really care less about personal users of compounds, whether that is through customs or tsa. After all, if small boxes were targets, so many wouldn’t be ordering stuff from India to avoid getting ripped off my the pharma joke of the good ole USA.
