Hormones found at JFK IMF.

The IMFs receive international mail from more than 180 countries, which often lack advanced manifest data that would aid in targeting shipments that are likely to contain illegal, illicit, unapproved, counterfeit and potentially dangerous drugs. How large is the scope of the problem? There’s no way for the FDA or any federal agency to know. But 86% of the packages that the FDA has reviewed contain illegal, illicit, unapproved, counterfeit and potentially dangerous drugs.
