Traveling without prescription

Japan famously cares about medications. They have a very involved process for declaring them.

So you know…. Don’t declare shit.

TSA would really prefer you do a good job hiding your drugs because they don’t want to deal with that. They want your bombs.

Customs, on the other hand… those guys want your drugs and they want em bad.

The CBSA in Canada has a slightly different priority list:

1. Collect duty and taxes.
2. Guns. They really don't like guns (but will still collect duty and taxes on them).
3. Consumer products. (That 80" TV that was half price in the states? Yeah, they'll be collecting duty and taxes on it, based on the value in CAD, not what you paid for it.)
4. Booze. (The duty and taxes are quite reasonable, but they'll turn you away if you've ever been pinched for drunk driving.)
5. Tobacco. (Must display photos of dead babies or diseased organs, plus duty and taxes.)
6. Drugs. (Really only concerned with the fun ones, and if they are better than what you can get in Canada it's double duty and taxes.)
7. Cash. (If you have over a certain amount, they'll be confiscating that until you can prove where it came from, and then charge duty and taxes on the amount over the limit.)
8. Duty and Taxes. (If you're delinquent on any duty and taxes, they will prohibit entry. And assess additional duty and taxes.)
