Leaving Guatemala with adderall (medication)

RESTRICTEDAdderall (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) is a controlled stimulant in Guatemala 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 Ley contra la Narcoactividad (Decreto 48-92). Above these limits, a Ministry of Public Health (Guatemala) 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 Adderall (Medication) in carry-on where applicable (medication / lithium battery / valuables). On arrival, walk the Red Channel and declare on the customs form. Superintendencia de Administración Tributaria (SAT) — Aduanas computes duty + VAT at the published rate. Have the purchase receipt + (for medication) the original prescription available.
