Is 25I-NBOMe legal in Ukraine?

Legal status

Controlled in Ukraine by its own printed name. Постанова № 770, таблиці I to IV, consolidated text read on 20 September 2026, carries the heading «25I-NBOMe» and fixes it with CAS 919797-19-6, and record UKR-03 accepts that printed row rather than reasoning from the empowering provision. The list, not the offence article, owns the substance names in Ukraine: стаття 7 of Закон України «Про наркотичні засоби, психотропні речовини і прекурсори» does no more than authorise the Cabinet to approve the Перелік. The match is exact at the level of the molecule, which matters for this compound because the neighbouring phenethylamines of the same series were not matched by the same search. What the printed row settles is identity. It does not by itself say which table the heading sits in, and this source does not state the table for it. One note on script, because it cuts the other way here. Across this dossier 186 search terms are logged and not one contains a Cyrillic character, while 41 of the 43 accepted entries are printed in Cyrillic. This heading is one of only two accepted in Latin, which is why a Latin search could match it at all. The positive is unaffected by the defect that undermines the absence records elsewhere in the set.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. Ukraine has abolished the death penalty and no drug article restores it. The criminal exposure this source states is Кримінальний кодекс України, стаття 307, with a ceiling of twelve years of imprisonment at its third part and no life sentence anywhere in the article. Because the printed heading at CAS 919797-19-6 is matched, наказ МОЗ № 188 can be keyed to this molecule and it is the order, not the criminal code, that sets the small, large and especially large figures that decide which part of стаття 307 applies. This source does not reproduce the numeric bands for this heading, so no milligram figure is stated here, and the separate possession article is not named by the source either. Separately from that, and carried forward from this site's published Ukraine entry rather than re-derived from the Code in this pass, the published penalties are these. Personal use of a small amount is administrative under article 44 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, a fine of 25 to 50 tax free minimum incomes, 20 to 60 hours of community service, or administrative arrest of up to 15 days. Above small, personal use under article 309 is criminal, a fine, correctional labour of up to two years, or restriction of liberty of up to five years, rising to up to three years where aggravated or large and up to eight years where a minor is involved. Trafficking or sale under article 307 draws four to twelve years with property forfeiture. Smuggling under article 305 draws five to eight years, and up to eight to ten years aggravated. The published entry records the small, large and especially large quantity thresholds as very low, and that trace amounts have triggered article 309. Drug use itself, other than in public, is not criminal there. Every figure in this paragraph is a penalty range or a fine and none of them is a quantity threshold. They describe the offences that this row's placement in the Ukrainian list brings into play.

If prescribed or medical

Ukraine states no personal use allowance of any size, and наказ МОЗ № 188 is a grading instrument rather than a traveller's allowance. A scheduled medicine has additionally to satisfy Закон України «Про лікарські засоби» on prescription, packaging, import and customs. Attached to this row, the placement is a matched narcotics or psychotropic heading at CAS 919797-19-6, and there is no approved medicinal product built on this molecule to which a prescription route could attach. Beyond that country level rule the source establishes no import permit procedure, no personal allowance and no recognition of a foreign prescription, and none was researched. Do not invent a medical route for this compound.

Documentation

Carry nothing that relies on a prescription, because none exists for this heading. If a blotter or a liquid is being carried for any reason, carry the analytical certificate that names the molecule, since the Ukrainian row is keyed to CAS 919797-19-6 and an officer will look for that identity rather than a street name. A traveller carrying a genuine prescribed medicine that has been mistaken for this compound should carry the dispensing pack, the label in the patient's name, the prescription and a doctor's letter giving the active ingredient and the dose. The heading was read on 20 September 2026 and later amendments can change the table it sits in.

Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Ukraine’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
