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 Papua New Guinea 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 Papua New Guinea.

The rules for Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)

PNG Customs' drugs page requires travellers to declare all prescription medication on arrival and warns of severe penalties for drug offences under sections 151 and 160 of the Customs Act 1952, but it gives no specific rule for amphetamine/dextroamphetamine (Adderall, Dexedrine). It is unclear whether the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 requires a Customs Commissioner General import licence for restricted/psychotropic drugs, since the official Prohibited Import Regulations document could not be checked this time. Carry your prescription or doctor's letter, keep medication in original packaging, and contact PNG Customs before you travel.

What to do

  1. import licence / prior written permission from the Commissioner General of Customs for restricted (controlled) drugs
  2. prescription
  3. doctor's letter outlining condition and medicine
  4. medication in original containers
  5. declaration on arrival

Confirm this yourself: We could not find strong recent official guidance for Papua New Guinea. Contact Papua New Guinea Customs Service; Department of Health (Minister for Health) or Papua New Guinea's embassy directly before you travel.
