Entering Brazil by air

[jim in cleveland]

We are on an RSSC chartered Varig flight from Miami to Manaus, Brazil next month. This question is for anyone who has flown there. On the country's website they state the following: "Passengers carrying prescription drugs should arrive with a valid prescription issued by a physician and a receipt of purchase issued by the drugstore."

 

They also state that Rx carrying passengers should go to the "goods to declare" line.

 

Does anyone know if this is really enforced?

 

Thanks,

 

Jim
