From the New York Times:
U.S. Moves to Halt Import of Drugs From Canada
The Justice Department moved yesterday to close a chain of Canadian drugstores, signaling that federal regulators are cracking down on the import of cheaper drugs from abroad.

Carl Moore, president of the drug chain, Rx Depot, remained defiant. Rx Depot allows patients to order prescription drugs from Canada at prices often half those in the United States.

"We're not going to stop, and we're going to fight for the right of senior citizens to buy affordable medicines," Mr. Moore said.

The Justice Department ordered Rx Depot to close up shop, as the Bush administration for the first time moved to shut down one of the numerous chains of stores that help senior citizens buy cheaper drugs from Canada.

In a letter Tuesday to Rx Depot's president Carl Moore that was obtained by The Associated Press, the DOJ said it would sue Moore unless he agrees by Thursday to shut down the company's 85 storefronts. The Justice Department said the stores, which are sometimes called Rx of Canada, violate federal law by helping U.S. consumers import drugs from Canada -- only manufacturers are allowed to bring medicines into the country.

Store helps import drugs from Canada
The Crimins' Canada Connection offers price quotes and order forms to patients who want to buy Canadian drugs. But patients must fax or mail in the forms themselves -- to a Winnipeg company, Canada Care Pharmacy. Derek and January Crimins will receive commissions on orders that come through store-supplied order forms. But their main service is providing a physical presence for patients who want to know how to get drugs safely and for less money.

Competitor of Florida firm importing Canadian drugs thrives in Wisconsin
The phones started ringing early Tuesday, as Wisconsin's first store to help seniors and others order cheaper prescriptions from north of the border opened - amid threats to the drug-shipping industry in Florida.

Several dozen people visited Canada Drug Service, a Naples, Fla.-based company that takes prescription orders from U.S. doctors, faxes them to Vancouver, then sends the medication to customers' homes. "With seniors, word gets around pretty quick if they can save a buck," franchise owner Ted Farah said of the first day's business.
