Leaving United States with adderall (medication)

RESTRICTEDAdderall (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) is a controlled stimulant in United States 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 21 USC § 956 (personal-use exception); DEA Diversion regulations. Above these limits, an DEA Form 236 (for Schedule II above personal-use limit) 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

Carry documentation. Declare proactively at customs.
