Is Adderall legal in Ukraine?

Legal status

Controlled in Ukraine through its active ingredient, not under its trade name. Record UKR-14 matches the branded product to a printed heading in Постанова № 770, таблиці I to IV, consolidated text read on 20 September 2026, at CAS 300-62-9. One caution belongs on the face of this cell: the source reports the heading for this row in a Latin spelling and reports a separate Cyrillic heading, at the same CAS 300-62-9, for the generic substance row. The same molecule cannot honestly be said to have two independent headings, and the source does not explain whether the list prints both forms or whether one of the two records transcribed the other. The control itself is not in doubt. Which printed heading an officer will cite is. A note on script belongs with the duplication. This is one of only two accepted entries in this dossier printed in Latin, and the generic row's entry for the identical registry number is Cyrillic. Since every one of the 186 search terms logged across the dossier is Latin, a Latin spelling is also the only kind of entry a Latin search could have matched, which is a further reason to treat the two spellings as a defect in the record rather than as two real headings.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. Ukrainian law provides no death penalty. The trade article the source names is Кримінальний кодекс України, стаття 307, with a ceiling of twelve years of imprisonment at its third part and no life sentence in the article. Because the active ingredient matches a heading at CAS 300-62-9, наказ МОЗ № 188 supplies the small, large and especially large bands and those bands decide the grading. A mixed salt product raises a practical question this source does not answer, which is whether the band is applied to the total tablet mass or to the assayed base, and nothing here should be read as answering it. This source does not name a separate possession article. 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 grades criminal conduct rather than licensing a traveller. A scheduled medicine must additionally satisfy Закон України «Про лікарські засоби» on prescription, packaging, import and customs. That is the whole of the country level rule this source states, and it is the ceiling of what can be said here. The placement attached to this row is a matched heading at CAS 300-62-9. Whether a foreign prescription for this branded stimulant is recognised at the Ukrainian border, and under what permit, was not established in this source and was not researched beyond it. Do not assume a home country prescription is sufficient.

Documentation

Carry the prescription, the original dispensing pack with the pharmacy label in the patient's name, and a doctor's letter that names the active ingredient rather than only the brand, gives the strength, the daily dose, the treatment period and the total quantity carried. The brand name is not what the Ukrainian list prints; the heading at CAS 300-62-9 is. Keep the quantity to the stated treatment period and declare it rather than waiting to be asked. Because the source shows two printed spellings at the same CAS, expect to be asked to establish the ingredient, and be able to do it from the pack. Read on 20 September 2026.

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.
