Can I take Adderall to New Zealand?
Official guidance indicates New Zealand restricts how much Adderall you can bring and the paperwork required. Check the limits before you travel.

A limit of our data: Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts) and Dexamphetamine are different medicines. Adderall is a mix of dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine; dexamfetamine is dextroamphetamine on its own, and international drug schedules list them as separate substances. We hold one combined amphetamine rule per country, so this page cannot tell you whether New Zealand treats them differently. Give the authority the exact product and generic name on your prescription when you check. The answer here is the same as for Dexamphetamine in New Zealand.
The rules for Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)
New Zealand Customs requires controlled drugs to be declared on your arrival card, carried in original labelled containers, and accompanied by a copy of your prescription or a doctor's letter stating the drug name and strength. The quantity must not exceed one month's (30 days') supply. Medicines containing controlled drugs cannot be sent by post or courier: they must travel with you.
Maximum supply: 30 days (Controlled-drug quantity must not exceed one month's (30-day) supply)
