Legal Basis, Compliance & Personal Import Guide

The ModafinilXL Legal & Compliance page details how we operate as an India-based exporter of prescription drugs, how we select licensed manufacturers, and how personal import regulations typically function in various countries. Modafinil is a restricted or prescription product in most jurisdictions, and laws often change β€” so you must check your local regulations before ordering.

However, if you’re from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, the European Union, and Singapore, our model (licensed export from India, personal-use quantities, backup hubs in SG/UAE) is designed to fit the usual personal-import frameworks there, so in practice you generally don’t need to worry about compliance on our side.

This page is for information purposes only and is not legal advice. Customers are responsible for complying with the laws of their country.

Safe Cross-Border Import Explained

  • We export Rx lawfully from India

    We hold the required export licence, work only with licensed manufacturers, and ship under valid export permissions.

  • You are responsible for import into your country

    Since rules differ and change, you must check the local requirements and import only for personal use. See the details below for the legal framework of each country.

  • For the US/UK/AU/EU/SG our model is butter smooth

    We ship in small personal-use quantities, split packages when needed, use backup hubs, and where applicable we cover import duties and fees so delivery stays smooth for you.

The FDA generally considers it illegal for individuals to import prescription drugs that are not FDA-approved for the US. However, the FDA’s Personal Importation Policy describes situations where the agency does not intend to refuse a small shipment for personal use β€” typically up to ~90 days’ supply, in original packaging, with a statement it’s for personal use.

Our Corporate & Manufacturing Setup

ModafinilXL is operated by a company incorporated in India. India permits the export of prescription (Rx) medications to many countries, provided that the exporter possesses the necessary licenses and utilizes approved manufacturers. We only work with Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers that have the necessary manufacturing and export permits. For our in-house line, such as ModaXL 200 mg, we work with HOF Pharmaceuticals and can provide the most recent certificate of origin/manufacturing upon request. This means that we are authorized to export from India. However, this does not automatically mean that your country authorizes import without conditions.

ModafinilXL Approach, Shipping & Refund Policy

Why Big Pharma, Banks & Platforms Call Us β€œHigh-Risk”

Modafinil is a prescription-only medicine in most developed jurisdictions, and in some of them it is additionally treated like a controlled or monitored substance (because it acts on the central nervous system). Buying such medicines online is therefore seen as a high-risk vertical by payment processors and platforms β€” not because it is criminal by default, but because: (1) rules differ country by country, (2) products can be diverted or resold, (3) some platforms do not understand the personal-import exemptions. β€œHigh-risk” here is a compliance label, not a judgment about product quality or safety.

Other Modafinil Legal Frameworks

  • Our Position

    ModafinilXL lawfully exports fully certified, high-quality modafinil brands from India in quantities intended for personal use. We provide the necessary documentation and pay the import duties on behalf of our customers. Customers are expected to use the medicine personally and not resell it.

  • Over 1M Customers Globally

    Since 2013 we have served 1M+ orders globally and maintain ~4.8/5 aggregate rating across Reviews.io and Yotpo where such collection is allowed. This long-term performance is what underpins our risk controls, fulfilment SLAs and refund and free reship policies.

  • Why We Don’t Always Ask for a Prescription

    We understand that modafinil is often used off-label by knowledge workers, students and tech professionals for wakefulness and focus. However, regulators such as the MHRA and FDA warn against self-medication and emphasise that modafinil is for diagnosed sleep disorders. Our role as an exporter is to ship a product legally manufactured in India to an adult end-user who confirms that: (1) they are importing for personal use, (2) they have checked their local rules, (3) they will not resell the product.

  • Why You Don’t See Us on Governmnet Sites

    Government portals like FDA, GOV.UK, or TGA primarily list domestic licence holders, UK-, US- or AU-established companies, or importers holding a national wholesale/manufacturer licence. As an overseas, India-incorporated exporter serving many jurisdictions, ModafinilXL is not expected to appear in those national online lists. This is normal for cross-border personal-import e-commerce.

Domestic Shipping US→US, EU→EU, AU→AU, UK→UK

In some countries we offer domestic delivery. In practice this means the medicine has already been lawfully imported by an individual for personal use and is then mailed inside the country to the final recipient. This is different from operating a local wholesale or over-the-counter pharmacy β€” we do not run in-country OTC distribution. Our understanding is that occasional personal-use mailing between individuals is generally less restricted than commercial in-country supply. Customers must still follow their national rules.

Other Compliance Details

  • End-User Responsibilities​​

    Check your national rules before ordering (FDA, MHRA, TGA, Health Canada), order only for personal use and in reasonable quantities (typically up to 90 days). Also, keep the product in original packaging and keep your order confirmation.

  • Our Logistics Model

    Primary route: export from India under valid export permissions. Backup warehouses: for products that cannot be exported from India in a specific month (policy changes, manufacturer limits) we may fulfil from Singapore or UAE (Dubai), where export of those SKUs is not restricted.

  • Reviews & Safety

    Some platforms (such as Trustpilot) do not accept review collection for pharmacies or for cross-border Rx. We therefore collect and display reviews only on platforms where this is permitted, such as Reviews.io or Yotpo. Being β€œhigh-risk” in payments and compliance does not mean β€œunsafe”; it reflects the controlled nature of modafinil and the cross-border model.

  • Legal Disclaimer

    This page is provided for informational purposes only and reflects ModafinilXL’s current understanding of international personal-import frameworks as of the date above. Laws change, and enforcement practices differ by port of entry. Nothing on this page is legal, medical or customs advice. You remain solely responsible for ensuring that importing modafinil is lawful in your country.
