Leaving Indonesia with codeine (medication)

RESTRICTEDCodeine is a controlled opioid analgesic subject to personal-export limits when leaving Indonesia.

Codeine-containing medications are controlled substances under the Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics framework. Personal-use quantities accompanied by the prescription and pharmacist dispensing label are generally permitted for export. Codeine-combination cough and cold products may be over-the-counter in some jurisdictions but still controlled for cross-border movement above threshold quantities. Personal export above the standard personal-use limit requires a BPOM / Ministry of Health (Indonesia) authorisation.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Carry documentation. Declare proactively at customs.
