Adderall (Medication) may require documentation or declaration

Details

Adderall in New Zealand is a Class B2 controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975. Travelers must obtain Medsafe pre-arrival approval (about 5 working days) supported by the prescription and doctor's letter; declare on the Passenger Arrival Card. NZ Customs at AKL / WLG / CHC may seize unauthorised Adderall regardless of prescription documentation. Enforcement in New Zealand carries fines from NZD 400 to NZD 5,000 under Biosecurity Act 1993 s.157, s.155; Customs and Excise Act 2018 (ordinary personal cases are handled as civil infringements). Leaving New Zealand with adderall (medication) is a separate question — restricted: Adderall (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) is a controlled stimulant in New Zealand and is subject to personal-export limits for prescribed users.
