Testosterone → New Zealand

Testosterone may require documentation or declaration

Details

Testosterone in New Zealand is a Class C2 controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 and prescription-only under the Medicines Act 1981. Travelers may carry a 3-month personal supply with the original prescription and doctor's letter; declare on the Passenger Arrival Card. Quantities above 3 months require Medsafe pre-arrival approval. 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 testosterone is a separate question — restricted: Testosterone is a controlled anabolic steroid; personal export from New Zealand requires the prescription and stays within personal-use limits.
