Sale framing
Research-use-only posture: US approval gap is the regulatory disconnect — patients import via personal-importation policy. Selling commercially in US is an FDCA violation. FDA Import Alert 66-66 covers unapproved drug imports.
Personal possession: Not federally criminalized. Personal importation may be permitted under FDA Personal Importation Policy when drug is for a serious condition, not commercially available in US, and quantity ≤90 days, but FDA retains discretion.
