The rules for Dexamphetamine (dexamfetamine)
France's official INCB traveller table (submitted by ANSM, May 2024) lists only 'valid medical prescription' as a requirement; no certificate or permit box is marked. A permit is not required: that idea comes from the Schengen Article 75 regime, which does not apply to, and is not available to, an Australian resident. For a non-Schengen visitor, a prescription alone is what France's competent authority requires. An original prescription is mandatory at customs. Quantity is limited to the duration of the prescribed treatment, or 3 months without a prescription. Adderall is not marketed in France, but travellers may bring a personal supply with a prescription.
Maximum supply: 90 days (Psychotropic substances (stimulant ADHD meds): 3-month (90-day) supply cap, or duration of prescribed treatment)
What to do
- valid prescription
- Schengen Article 75 certificate (for Schengen residents)
- presentation of original prescription at customs
