Netherlands' Customs Officials Intercept Viagra Shipments July 22, 1998 5:37 AM AMSTERDAM (AP)--Customs officials are involved in a nationwide hunt for bottles of Viagra which are being illegally imported to satisfy a growing demand for the impotency pill which has not yet been approved for sale in the Netherlands. Dozens of packages containing the drug have been found at postal sorting offices in recent weeks, Dutch daily De Telegraaf reported Wednesday. Customs spokesman Peter Mulder said his officers already have a "black book" of illegal Viagra importers. "We discover a shipment almost every day," he said. "Anyone can order a pot of pills from America via the Internet." Last week a routine check at Eindhoven airport uncovered 4,500 pills, which sell for up to 30 guilders (NLG) ($1=NLG2.0131) each. The pills were being sent from a German company to a pharmacy in the southern city of Venlo. Another NLG50,000 worth of pills were discovered during a search of the pharmacy. Customs at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport also regularly intercept packages containing the pill. Viagra, made by U.S. company Pfizer Inc. (PFE), is expected to be given European Union approval in September, Dutch health ministry spokesman Richard Lancee said. If it is approved, the drug will be available in the Netherlands only on prescription.
