Full details

Adderall (Medication) requires declaration at customs (and in some cases an import permit) when carried by travelers into Russia. Federal Customs Service (FTS Russia) applies a personal-allowance threshold per item category; quantities above attract duty + the destination's VAT/GST rate (20%) plus, for select categories, an additional excise tax. EU customs harmonisation and EU Regulation 608/2013 IPR enforcement apply alongside national rules. Travelers should consult Federal Customs Service (FTS Russia) for the current quantity threshold + documentation requirement before departure.

PENALTIES

  • Fine: 5000–1000000 RUB
  • Civil penalty only

Leaving Russia with adderall (medication)

PROHIBITEDAmphetamine medicines such as Adderall have no approved medical channel in Russia; possession is a criminal offence, so there is no lawful personal export.

Russia does not recognise amphetamine-based ADHD medicines (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) as approved medicines — they are treated as illicit narcotics under Criminal Code Art. 228-229 regardless of a foreign prescription. Because lawful possession is not available to travellers, there is no personal-export pathway. Travellers who entered with undeclared Adderall face prosecution on exit as well as entry. Anyone requiring ADHD medication while in Russia should consult the destination health authority about approved alternatives before travel.

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. Federal Customs Service (FTS Russia) computes duty + VAT at the published rate. Have the purchase receipt + (for medication) the original prescription available.
