Leaving Vietnam with adderall (medication)

RESTRICTEDAdderall (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) is a controlled stimulant in Vietnam 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 Penal Code Art. 249-252; Law on Customs 54/2014. Above these limits, a Drug Administration of Vietnam (MoH) authorisation is required in advance. Destination-country rules on Adderall import are more restrictive in many jurisdictions (Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia).

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Carry documentation. Declare proactively at customs.
