Is Caffeine legal in Andorra?

Legal status

Not a controlled drug in Andorra. Caffeine is not named in the UN edition of the 1961 Single Convention schedules as at 6 June 2024 (ST/CND/1/Add.1/Rev.11), the UN edition of the 1971 Convention schedules as at 3 December 2024 (ST/CND/1/Add.2/Rev.10) or the INCB Green List, 36th edition, 2025, so it is not a toxic drug under article 281 of Andorra's Penal Code (Codi Penal), and no Andorran text read restricts it.

Consequences if caught

No penalty concerning caffeine was found in Andorra's Penal Code (Codi Penal) or any other text read. Article 8.3 of the Constitution provides «Es prohibeix la pena de mort.» Llei 18/2026, del 15 de juliol, qualificada del Codi penal, published in the BOPA on 13 August 2026, the date the BOPA's search index records for it, repeals Llei 9/2005 and provides «Aquesta Llei entrarà en vigor al cap de quatre mesos de la seva publicació». A mechanical comparison made in this run found its articles 314 to 323, 545 and 547 carry articles 281 to 288, 499 and 500 over with the same offences and penalties; the differences are renumbered cross references and three small changes of wording. Articles 288 bis, 288 quater and 499 bis become articles 324, 326 and 546.

If prescribed or medical

Not a prescription matter. No Andorran rule limiting what an adult traveller may carry for personal use was found in any text read for this cell, beyond the age and trade rules stated.

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