Leaving Germany with adderall (medication)

RESTRICTEDAdderall (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) is a controlled stimulant in Germany and is subject to personal-export limits for prescribed users.

Adderall is a Schedule II controlled substance in the US and equivalent schedules in most other jurisdictions. Personal-use quantities (typically a 30-90 day supply) accompanied by the prescription and doctor's letter are generally permitted for export under Betäubungsmittelgesetz § 4; Schengen Convention Art. 75 medication travel certificate. Above these limits, an Schengen Article 75 certificate is required in advance. Travellers should note that some destination countries (Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia among others) restrict Adderall import even when export is permitted from the origin — always verify the destination-side rules independently.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Declare adderall (medication) at customs on arrival in Germany and carry any documentation specified in the rule. Verify current requirements with Zollkriminalamt / Zoll (German Customs — Federal Customs Administration) before travel.
