Vyvanse / Lisdexamfetamine → 🇩🇪 Germany

Full details

Vyvanse / Lisdexamfetamine restricted; documentation or permits may apply. Quantity guidance for Germany: Up to 30-day supply under Schengen Narcotics Certificate (BtMG §4 Abs. 1 Nr. 3). Documentation: Schengen narcotics certificate (Betäubungsmittel-Bescheinigung) from prescribing physician; Original prescription; Medication in original pharmacy-labelled packaging. Enforcement in Germany carries fines from EUR 250 to EUR 5,000 under Abgabenordnung § 378; Zollverwaltungsgesetz (ordinary personal cases are handled as civil infringements). Restricted status means compliant carriage is achievable with the right paperwork and quantities; the practical risks are seizure, duty, and delay rather than criminal liability for a good-faith traveller. Arrival checks are carried out by Zollkriminalamt / Zoll (German Customs — Federal Customs Administration); when in doubt use the declare (red) channel — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods attract penalties. Leaving Germany with vyvanse / lisdexamfetamine is a separate question: restricted — Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is a controlled stimulant; personal export from Germany requires prescription documentation and stays within personal-use limits.

Leaving Germany with vyvanse / lisdexamfetamine

Lisdexamfetamine is a Schedule II-equivalent controlled stimulant under the Betäubungsmittelgesetz § 4; Schengen Convention Art. 75 medication travel certificate framework. Personal-use quantities (typically ≤30-90 days' supply) accompanied by the prescription and doctor's letter are generally permitted for export from Germany; above these limits a Schengen Article 75 certificate is required in advance. Destination-side treatment is the sharper risk — several countries (Japan requires advance permission; some jurisdictions ban amphetamine-class medicines outright) restrict arrival with stimulant ADHD medication, so verify the arrival rule for the same route.
