Five-Year Ban on Drug Importing
Jeremy Spencer Brown is barred for 5 years from importing or offering for import any drug into the United States, effective February 12, 2026. The debarment is based on his February 3, 2025 felony conviction for introduction of unapproved drugs into interstate commerce with intent to defraud or mislead.
Assisting His Imports Is Prohibited
