Drug Importation in Fort Lauderdale

Movement of Narcotics Into Florida

What is drug importation? As one of the least known drug crimes, importation involves the unlawful action of bringing substances from other areas into the state of Florida or into the United States from a foreign country. Bringing any type of illegal substance across state lines or any type of border automatically constitutes a federal offense, and a federal agency such as the DEA, or Drug Enforcement Administration, may become involved. Those involved with drug smuggling circles in foreign areas such as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Columbia, or Costa Rica disguise the drugs to smuggle them across the borders - they go as far as to hide them in vehicle tires, motors, and in the bodies of the deceased.

These charges are some of the most serious drug crime charges, as the prosecution may automatically associate a defendant with a drug ring or another type of organized drug circle. It is very important to have a skilled lawyer on your case as soon as an investigation has begun or if you have been arrested and charged with this type of crime. This offense can lead to some of the most disturbing consequences, including a long term of imprisonment, fines of up to $500,000, parole, probation, community service, and possibly a driver's license suspension.
