Taking adderall (medication) out of South Korea
Adderall (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) is a controlled stimulant in South Korea 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 Narcotics Control Act; MFDS personal-export authorisation. Above these limits, an MFDS export permit 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.
