GOODS ACROSS BORDERS

TOPIC HUB

Travelling with medication

Carrying prescription medication across a border is allowed almost everywhere — if it's for personal use, in the original packaging, with the prescription. Some destinations restrict common Western drugs (Adderall, codeine, certain sleep aids); some require a pre-arrival permit weeks ahead. This hub indexes the rules.
