Is 2C-B legal in Ukraine?

Confirmed against a primary sourceVerified September 21, 2026
Legal status
Scheduled in Ukraine under the international non proprietary style name rather than the street abbreviation. Постанова № 770, таблиці I to IV, consolidated text read on 20 September 2026, prints the heading «Броламфетамін (2C-B)» and fixes it at CAS 66142-81-2, and record UKR-04 accepts that row. The list prints the heading in capitals and it is given here in sentence case. The bracketed abbreviation is the list's own, which removes the usual argument about whether a schedule written in a different naming convention reaches this molecule. The heading owns the identity because стаття 7 of Закон України «Про наркотичні засоби, психотропні речовини і прекурсори» gives the Перелік that job and the criminal code does not name substances at all. This source does not state which of таблиці I to IV the heading sits in.
Consequences if caught
Capital exposure: none. Ukrainian law provides no death penalty for any offence, drug offences included. The article this source names is Кримінальний кодекс України, стаття 307, whose third part sets the ceiling at twelve years of imprisonment and which provides no life sentence. Because the heading at CAS 66142-81-2 is matched by name, наказ МОЗ № 188 can be keyed to this molecule, and that order rather than the code carries the small, large and especially large figures that decide the part of стаття 307 in play. The source does not reproduce those figures, so no weight is stated here. It also does not name the separate possession offence, so that article is not cited. 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 allows no personal use quantity, and наказ МОЗ № 188 sets criminal grading bands rather than a traveller's allowance. Any scheduled medicine must also clear Закон України «Про лікарські засоби» on prescription, packaging, import and customs. On this row the placement is a matched heading at CAS 66142-81-2, and there is no authorised medicinal product in Ukraine built on this molecule for a prescription to attach to, so the medicines route does not arise. Beyond that country rule the source establishes no import permit, no personal allowance and no recognition of a foreign prescription, and none was researched. A research chemical invoice is not a medical document in Ukraine.
Documentation
Carry no assumption that a foreign supply document helps. The Ukrainian row is keyed to CAS 66142-81-2 under a heading that names both the non proprietary form and the abbreviation, so an officer has an exact identity to test against. A traveller who is carrying a prescribed medicine and fears confusion with this compound should carry the original dispensing pack, a dispensing label in the patient's name, the prescription itself and a doctor's letter naming the active ingredient, the strength and the treatment period. Keep the quantity to the treatment period stated in that letter. The heading was read in the consolidated text on 20 September 2026.
