HR 3162

This bill, the Affordable and Safe Prescription Drug Importation Act of 2025, aims to allow for the importation of prescription drugs from countries like Canada, the UK, Switzerland, and the EU into the United States. It removes the previous requirement for the Department of Health and Human Services to certify safety, instead establishing regulations for importation. The bill expands eligible drug types to include biologics like insulin, allows individuals to use licensed foreign pharmacies, and imposes criminal penalties on websites selling counterfeit drugs. It also seeks to establish a framework for importing drugs from additional countries based on their safety standards.
