In the USA, I'm almost positive it is only legal to import if you already have a valid prescription for it. Even then, customs can seize it if they want.

A study showed that "Modafinil significantly reduced error rates in the long delay condition of the visuo-spatial task and in the manipulation conditions." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=15221200&dopt=Abstract

Maybe it doesn't make you smarter, but it makes your brain function better for some very specific memory tasks. I think that such a benefit would be broader than the number recall tasks from the study.
