Taking adderall (medication) out of Australia
Adderall (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) is a controlled stimulant in Australia and is subject to personal-export limits for prescribed users.
Details
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 Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958; Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. Above these limits, an TGA export permit for schedule 8 substances above threshold is required in advance. Travellers should note that some destination countries (Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia among others) restrict Adderall import even when export is permitted from the origin — always verify the destination-side rules independently.
