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 United States of America 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 United States of America.

The rules for Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)

Schedule II controlled substance. Legal for a visitor with medicine lawfully obtained for personal use, in its original dispensed container, declared to a CBP officer on arrival (21 CFR 1301.26). The 50-dosage-unit cap applies only to US residents. CBP's rule of thumb for visitors is no more than a 90-day supply.

What to do

  1. valid prescription
  2. presentation of original prescription at customs
  3. medication in its original container as originally dispensed
  4. declaration to a CBP officer on arrival
