1P-LSD

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. 1P-LSD is named on liste B nr. 397 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «1p-LSD (1-propionyllysergid).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: It carries its own numbered entry, so its placement does not depend on the section 1 derivative clause or on its relation to Lysergid at liste A nr. 3. It is on liste B and not with LSD on liste A, so it sits in the medical and scientific use tier rather than the absolute prohibition, though possession without one of the § 6 routes is still forbidden. Searched as 1p-LSD and 1-propionyllysergid; the neighbouring lysergamides 1B-LSD, 1-cP-LSD and 1v-LSD carry entries of their own. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939». Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: No medicine containing it is named in the order's own Eksempelliste 1 of products sold in Denmark. Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, such as on a prescription or as a licensed laboratory, and none of them is a traveller allowance. Nothing here authorises carrying it.
Documentation: The order read is bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026. Its § 33 puts it in force on 15 June 2026 and repeals bekendtgørelse nr. 90 af 31. januar 2025. A retsinformation.dk search run on 4 October 2026 returned no later order amending it, which does not rule out a later amendment. The order was made by Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet under §§ 1 and 2 of lov om euforiserende stoffer as put in force for the Faroe Islands by royal decree, the decree text being consolidated in anordningsbekendtgørelse nr. 1349 af 23. november 2015. It is a Danish ministerial order made for the Faroe Islands, and the licences it provides for are granted by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «efter forhandling med Landsapotekeren». Customs also has a role. Under § 9 of the order an import certificate for a consignment from outside the European Economic Area is shown to «de statslige told- og skattemyndigheder». The customs legislation itself, the Customs Act regime, was not read for this cell and nothing in it rests on that legislation. Carry any medicine in its original packaging with its prescription, and confirm the current rule with the Faroese authorities before travel.

2-FDCK

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. 2-FDCK is named on liste B nr. 203 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «2-fluorodeschloroketamin (2-FDCK)». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as 2-FDCK and fluorodeschloroketamin. It has its own entry, separate from Ketamin at liste B nr. 259, so it does not rest on any analogue reasoning from ketamine. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

25I-NBOMe

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands through a group entry rather than under its own name. 25I-NBOMe is reached by liste B nr. 460 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, the entry headed «Phenethylamin-gruppen», through its limb for «N-(methoxybenzyl) -2-phenylethan-1-amin». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as NBOMe, 25I and methoxybenzyl. No row names it; methoxybenzyl hit only the group itself and two unrelated rows, Metonitazepyn and Zipeprol. The group reaches «Enhver kemisk forbindelse som strukturelt er afledt af» several parent structures including N-(methoxybenzyl) -2-phenylethan-1-amin «ved enhver substitution i ringen med alkyl-, alkoxy-, alkandiylbis(oxy)- eller halogensubstituenter». 25I-NBOMe is N-(2-methoxybenzyl)-2-phenylethan-1-amine carrying two methoxy groups and an iodine atom on the phenyl ring, which are alkoxy and halogen substituents, so it is inside the group's words. It is not one of the compounds the group excepts to their own rows. Its parent, 2C-I, is itself named at liste B nr. 97. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

2C-B

Legal status: Controlled under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control framework (distinct from Denmark), possession, sale and trafficking are offences; the specific consolidating statute is left to confirmation against current Faroese law; the maximum penalty is imprisonment
Consequences if caught: 2C-B is controlled in the Faroe Islands under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control framework. In the Faroe Islands, drugs fall under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control and customs-enforcement framework, the Faroes self-govern health and justice and operate a drug-control regime distinct from Denmark. The specific consolidating statute is left to confirmation against current Faroese law. Trafficking carries imprisonment together with a fine. The maximum penalty for a drug offence is imprisonment. This cell is sourced via the Faroese Government portal (government.fo) and the Library of Congress with UNODC corroboration.
If prescribed / medical: Not a prescribed traveller medicine in this form.

2C-E

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. 2C-E is named on liste B nr. 89 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «2C-E (4-ethyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamin).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as 2C-E. It is named on its own row and is not left to liste B nr. 460, the Phenethylamin-gruppen, although that group would describe it as a ring substituted 2-phenylethan-1-amin. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

2C-I

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. 2C-I is named on liste B nr. 97 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «2C-I (4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxy-phenethylamin).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as 2C-I and 4-iodo. It is named on its own row; its iodine substituent is a halogen, so liste B nr. 460, the Phenethylamin-gruppen, would reach it as well, but the named entry is the operative one. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

2C-T-7

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. 2C-T-7 is named on liste B nr. 112 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «2C-T-7 (2,5-dimethoxy-4-(n)-propylthiophenethylamin).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as 2C-T-7 and propylthio. It is named on its own row. Liste B nr. 460, the Phenethylamin-gruppen, would also reach it: its two methoxy groups are alkoxy ring substituents, and the group applies «uanset om den kemiske forbindelse er yderligere ringsubstitueret med en eller flere monovalente grupper», whatever further ring substitution there is, which covers the propylthio group. The named row is the operative one. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

3-MMC

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. 3-MMC is named on liste B nr. 323 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «3-Methylmethcathinon (2-(methylamino)-1-(3-methylphenyl)propan-1-on).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as 3-MMC and methylmethcathinon. The Cathinon-gruppen at liste B nr. 453 lists 3-Methylmethcathinon among the compounds «undtaget fra cathinon-gruppen og er opført som enkeltstående stoffer på liste B og liste E», so it is placed by its own row and not by the group. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939». Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: No medicine containing it is named in the order's own Eksempelliste 1 of products sold in Denmark. Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, such as on a prescription or as a licensed laboratory, and none of them is a traveller allowance. Nothing here authorises carrying it.
Documentation: The order read is bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026. Its § 33 puts it in force on 15 June 2026 and repeals bekendtgørelse nr. 90 af 31. januar 2025. A retsinformation.dk search run on 4 October 2026 returned no later order amending it, which does not rule out a later amendment. The order was made by Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet under §§ 1 and 2 of lov om euforiserende stoffer as put in force for the Faroe Islands by royal decree, the decree text being consolidated in anordningsbekendtgørelse nr. 1349 af 23. november 2015. It is a Danish ministerial order made for the Faroe Islands, and the licences it provides for are granted by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «efter forhandling med Landsapotekeren». Customs also has a role. Under § 9 of the order an import certificate for a consignment from outside the European Economic Area is shown to «de statslige told- og skattemyndigheder». The customs legislation itself, the Customs Act regime, was not read for this cell and nothing in it rests on that legislation. Carry any medicine in its original packaging with its prescription, and confirm the current rule with the Faroese authorities before travel.

4-AcO-DMT

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands through the section 1 derivative clause rather than under its own name. 4-AcO-DMT is not named in liste A, B, C, D or E of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026; it is the acetate ester of psilocin, which is named on liste B nr. 407, and section 1 extends the lists to esters of a listed substance. Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as 4-AcO-DMT, psilacetin and acetoxy. The nearest named row is 4-AcO-DIPT at liste B nr. 9, the diisopropyl compound, which is not this one. Section 1 of the order extends every list to «mulige salte og simple derivater med euforiserende virkning af de nævnte stoffer, f.eks. estere og ætere», and to preparations that contain or are made from a listed substance. Psilocin is «Psilocin, psilotsin (4-hydroxy-3-(2-dimethyl-aminoethyl) indol).» at liste B nr. 407, and 4-AcO-DMT is its O-acetyl ester. The Tryptamin-gruppen at liste B nr. 462 does not reach it, because that group is built on tryptamine carrying ring bound hydroxy groups and an acetoxy group is not a hydroxy group, so section 1 is the operative route. Against that reading the instrument itself gives psilocybin, the phosphate ester of psilocin, a row of its own at liste B nr. 408, which shows the order sometimes names an ester instead of relying on section 1. This cell rests on section 1 and says so; it does not claim a named row. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

4-HO-MET

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands through a group entry rather than under its own name. 4-HO-MET is reached by liste B nr. 462 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, the entry headed «Tryptamin-gruppen». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: It has no row of its own; searched as 4-HO-MET, metocin and hydroxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamin. The group entry reads «Enhver kemisk forbindelse som strukturelt er afledt af enten tryptamin eller tryptamin med en eller flere ringbundne hydroxygrupper ved substitution på sidekædens nitrogenatom med en eller flere alkylgrupper». 4-HO-MET is tryptamine carrying one ring bound hydroxy group at the 4-position, with a methyl and an ethyl group on the side chain nitrogen, which is that description. The only compounds the group excepts to their own rows are DET, DMT, psilocin and psilocybin. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

5-MeO-DMT (Bufo / Toad)

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. 5-MeO-DMT is named on liste B nr. 297 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «5-MeO-DMT (5-Methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamin).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as 5-MeO-DMT. It is named on its own row. Its 5-position carries a methoxy group, not a hydroxy group, so the Tryptamin-gruppen at liste B nr. 462 would not by its words reach it, and the named row is what places it. DMT itself is a separate row at liste B nr. 153. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance.

6-APB

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. 6-APB is named on liste B nr. 56 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «6-APB samt isomererne 4- og 5-APB». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as APB and benzofuran. The single entry covers 6-APB and its 4-yl and 5-yl isomers together, so 4-APB and 5-APB are placed by the same row. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939».

7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. 7-hydroxymitragynine is named on liste B nr. 231 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «7-hydroxymitragynin.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as hydroxymitragynin. The text read prints this row as «231 7-hydroxymitragynin.» without the full stop after the number that every neighbouring row carries; the number is 231 on that reading. The kratom plant is a separate row at liste B nr. 262 and mitragynine at liste B nr. 334, so the leaf, its main alkaloid and this alkaloid each carry their own placement and no part of the family is left uncontrolled. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

Adderall

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Adderall's active ingredient is named on liste B nr. 49 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Amfetamin INN.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Adderall is a brand of mixed amphetamine salts. No row names the brand, and the order does not need one: Amfetamin is at liste B nr. 49, Dexamfetamin at liste B nr. 133 and Levamfetamin at liste B nr. 263, and section 1 extends each row to its salts. Bilag 1 adds that where a name can cover several stereoisomers, «er hver enkelt af disse former at betragte som optaget på listen». The brand is not in the order's Eksempelliste 1 of products sold in Denmark. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939». Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, the first being «Personer og institutioner m.v. der modtager midlerne i henhold til en efter de til enhver tid gældende regler udfærdiget recept eller rekvisition». Import is reserved: § 9 confines import of liste A, B and C substances, and § 22 import of liste D and E substances, to persons and bodies licensed by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «samt apoteker, herunder sygehusapoteker». The order contains no provision for a traveller's personal supply, and the Faroese medicines legislation, which governs prescriptions, was not read for this cell, so no traveller allowance is stated here and nothing here authorises carrying it.

The customs legislation itself, the Customs Act regime, was not read for this cell and nothing in it rests on that legislation. Carry any medicine in its original packaging with its prescription, and confirm the current rule with the Faroese authorities before travel.

Amphetamine

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Amphetamine is named on liste B nr. 49 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Amfetamin INN.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as amfetamin and amphetamin. Its two enantiomers are also separate rows, Dexamfetamin at liste B nr. 133 and Levamfetamin at liste B nr. 263, and methamphetamine is at liste B nr. 306, so the placement does not turn on which form a sample contains. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939». Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, the first being «Personer og institutioner m.v. der modtager midlerne i henhold til en efter de til enhver tid gældende regler udfærdiget recept eller rekvisition». Import is reserved: § 9 confines import of liste A, B and C substances, and § 22 import of liste D and E substances, to persons and bodies licensed by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «samt apoteker, herunder sygehusapoteker». The order contains no provision for a traveller's personal supply, and the Faroese medicines legislation, which governs prescriptions, was not read for this cell, so no traveller allowance is stated here and nothing here authorises carrying it.
Documentation: The order read is bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026. Its § 33 puts it in force on 15 June 2026 and repeals bekendtgørelse nr. 90 af 31. januar 2025. A retsinformation.dk search run on 4 October 2026 returned no later order amending it, which does not rule out a later amendment. The order was made by Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet under §§ 1 and 2 of lov om euforiserende stoffer as put in force for the Faroe Islands by royal decree, the decree text being consolidated in anordningsbekendtgørelse nr. 1349 af 23. november 2015. It is a Danish ministerial order made for the Faroe Islands, and the licences it provides for are granted by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «efter forhandling med Landsapotekeren». Customs also has a role. Under § 9 of the order an import certificate for a consignment from outside the European Economic Area is shown to «de statslige told- og skattemyndigheder».

Amyl Nitrite

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Amyl nitrite is named on liste E nr. 6 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Amylnitrit (alle isomerer af amylgruppen).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as amylnitrit and nitrit. The row covers every isomer of the amyl group, so isoamyl and n-amyl nitrite are both placed. The order's Eksempelliste 2 maps «Poppers (E,6)» to this row. Isobutyl nitrite is a separate row, liste E nr. 47, and isopropyl nitrite carries none. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: No medicine containing it is named in the order's own Eksempelliste 1 of products sold in Denmark. Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, such as on a prescription or as a licensed laboratory, and none of them is a traveller allowance. Nothing here authorises carrying it.
Documentation: The order read is bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026.

Ayahuasca

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands through its DMT content rather than under its own name. DMT is named on liste B nr. 153 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry opens «DMT (Dimethyl-tryptamin». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Ayahuasca is a brew, not a compound, and no row names it or the vine and leaf species it is made from. Searched as ayahuasca, Banisteriopsis, Psychotria and harmin, with no row returned. What reaches the brew is section 1 of the order, under which the lists cover «alle tilberedninger» that contain or are made from a listed substance, and § 1(2) defines a tilberedning to include «Opløsninger, fortyndinger, ekstrakter, koncentrater, tinkturer». A brew containing DMT is therefore a preparation of a liste B substance. A brew with no DMT in it would not be reached by this route, and harmala alkaloids carry no row. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people.

Barbiturates

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands, member by member across three lists. The barbiturates are not one row of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026: «Secobarbital INN.» is on liste B nr. 421; amobarbital, butalbital, cyclobarbital and pentobarbital are on liste D at nr. 1, 3, 5 and 9; and allobarbital, barbital, butobarbital, methylphenobarbital, phenobarbital, secbutabarbital and vinylbital are on liste E at nr. 2, 7, 12, 59, 71, 77 and 81. Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as barb and as bital, which between them catch butalbital and vinylbital as well as the barbital names, and the twelve rows above are every row those searches return in the five lists. A barbiturate not among them is not placed by any group, because the order has no barbiturate group entry. Section 1(3)(6) takes outside the order «Tilberedninger indeholdende højst 2,5 pct. barbital». The order's Eksempelliste 1 names Fenemal under «(E,71)», phenobarbital, and Mebumal under «(D,9)», pentobarbital. Secobarbital's placement on liste B puts it in a stricter import and records regime than the liste E members. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

Buprenorphine

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Buprenorphine is named on liste D nr. 2 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Buprenorphin INN.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as buprenorphin. It is on liste D, the tier the order treats separately in chapter 4 for import, export and records. The order's Eksempelliste 1 names Norspan, Suboxone, Subutex, Temgesic and Transtec as products sold in Denmark under «(D,2)». The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

Cathinone

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Cathinone is named on liste B nr. 86 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Cathinon INN.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as cathinon. The khat plant itself is a different and stricter placement, liste A nr. 1, and cathine is on liste D nr. 4, so all three members of the khat family carry an offence. Cathinone is one of the compounds the Cathinon-gruppen at liste B nr. 453 excepts to its own row. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939». Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: No medicine containing it is named in the order's own Eksempelliste 1 of products sold in Denmark. Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, such as on a prescription or as a licensed laboratory, and none of them is a traveller allowance. Nothing here authorises carrying it.

Under § 9 of the order an import certificate for a consignment from outside the European Economic Area is shown to «de statslige told- og skattemyndigheder». The customs legislation itself, the Customs Act regime, was not read for this cell and nothing in it rests on that legislation. Carry any medicine in its original packaging with its prescription, and confirm the current rule with the Faroese authorities before travel.

Clonazepam

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Clonazepam is named on liste E nr. 17 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Clonazepam INN.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as clonazepam. The order's Eksempelliste 1 names Rivotril as a product sold in Denmark under «(E,17)». Its designer relative clonazolam is a separate liste E row. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939». Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, the first being «Personer og institutioner m.v. der modtager midlerne i henhold til en efter de til enhver tid gældende regler udfærdiget recept eller rekvisition». Import is reserved: § 9 confines import of liste A, B and C substances, and § 22 import of liste D and E substances, to persons and bodies licensed by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «samt apoteker, herunder sygehusapoteker». The order contains no provision for a traveller's personal supply, and the Faroese medicines legislation, which governs prescriptions, was not read for this cell, so no traveller allowance is stated here and nothing here authorises carrying it.
Documentation: The order read is bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026. Its § 33 puts it in force on 15 June 2026 and repeals bekendtgørelse nr. 90 af 31. januar 2025. A retsinformation.dk search run on 4 October 2026 returned no later order amending it, which does not rule out a later amendment. The order was made by Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet under §§ 1 and 2 of lov om euforiserende stoffer as put in force for the Faroe Islands by royal decree, the decree text being consolidated in anordningsbekendtgørelse nr. 1349 af 23. november 2015.

Cocaine

Legal status: Controlled under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control framework (distinct from Denmark), possession, sale and trafficking are offences; the specific consolidating statute is left to confirmation against current Faroese law; the maximum penalty is imprisonment
Consequences if caught: Cocaine is controlled in the Faroe Islands under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control framework. In the Faroe Islands, drugs fall under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control and customs-enforcement framework, the Faroes self-govern health and justice and operate a drug-control regime distinct from Denmark. The specific consolidating statute is left to confirmation against current Faroese law. Trafficking carries imprisonment together with a fine. The maximum penalty for a drug offence is imprisonment.

Codeine

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Codeine is named on liste C nr. 2 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Codein.». Bilag 1 says «Liste C omfatter stoffer, der i utilberedt stand falder ind under lovens § 2, men som i farmaceutiske præparater i almindelighed ikke er omfattet af loven». Section 1(3)(3) takes outside the definition «Doserede tilberedninger (tabletter, piller, kapsler, afdelte pulvere, ampuller og suppositorier), der indeholder højst 0,1 g pr. enhed af de i liste C nævnte stoffer, samt andre tilberedninger, der indeholder højst 2,5 pct. af de i liste C nævnte stoffer».
Consequences if caught: Searched as codein. Because it is on liste C, the low dose exemption in § 1(3)(3) matters: a tablet or capsule with at most 0,1 g of codeine per unit, or another preparation with at most 2,5 per cent, is outside the order altogether, while the pure substance and stronger preparations are inside it. The order's Eksempelliste 1 names Kodein and Kodein Stærk as products sold in Denmark under «(C,2)». The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939».

Import is reserved: § 9 confines import of liste A, B and C substances, and § 22 import of liste D and E substances, to persons and bodies licensed by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «samt apoteker, herunder sygehusapoteker».

Crack Cocaine

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Crack is the base form of cocaine, and cocaine is named on liste B nr. 101 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Cocain.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Crack is cocaine in its free base form, not a separate compound, and no row names it. Searched as crack and cocain. The row «Cocain.» names the substance itself, and section 1 extends it to its salts and to anything containing it, so the base and the hydrochloride are both reached. Coca leaf is a separate row at liste B nr. 261 and ecgonine at liste B nr. 159. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people.

No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: The order's Eksempelliste 1 names a medical product Kokain sold in Denmark under «(B,101)», but crack is not that product and no prescription route in the order covers it. Section 6 allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, such as on a prescription or as a licensed laboratory, and none of them is a traveller allowance. Nothing here authorises carrying it.

Delta-8-THC

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands as one of the isomers of a listed row rather than under its own name. Liste B nr. 429 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, places «Tetrahydrocannabinol (alle isomere», tetrahydrocannabinol in all its isomers, and delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol is one of them. Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as tetrahydrocannabinol, delta-8 and THC. The row does not name the delta-9 compound alone: it opens «Tetrahydrocannabinol (alle isomere af tetrahydro-6, 6,9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-6H-dibenzo(b,d)» and continues with the pyranol ending, so delta-8 is placed as one of «alle isomere», all the isomers. Bilag 1 adds that every stereoisomeric form a name covers is to be treated as listed. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people.

Diazepam

Diazepam is named on liste E nr. 25 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Diazepam INN.».

Consequences if caught: Searched as diazepam. The order's Eksempelliste 1 names Apozepam, Diazepam, Hexalid, Stesolid, Stesolid Emulsion and Valaxona as products sold in Denmark under «(E,25)».

Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

DOM

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands under another of its names. DOM is placed on liste B nr. 422 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, printed as «STP (4-Methyl-2,5-dimethoxy-amphetamin).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: The row is printed under the name STP, not DOM; searched as DOM, STP and dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamin. The order's own Eksempelliste 2 of common names maps it explicitly: «DOM (B,422)». DOM is also one of the compounds the Phenethylamin-gruppen at liste B nr. 460 excepts to its own row. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939».

DXM

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Dextromethorphan is named on liste C nr. 3 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Dextromethorphan.». Bilag 1 says «Liste C omfatter stoffer, der i utilberedt stand falder ind under lovens § 2, men som i farmaceutiske præparater i almindelighed ikke er omfattet af loven». Section 1(3)(3) takes outside the definition «Doserede tilberedninger (tabletter, piller, kapsler, afdelte pulvere, ampuller og suppositorier), der indeholder højst 0,1 g pr. enhed af de i liste C nævnte stoffer, samt andre tilberedninger, der indeholder højst 2,5 pct. af de i liste C nævnte stoffer».
Consequences if caught: Searched as dextromethorphan and DXM; the order's Eksempelliste 2 maps «DXM (C,3)». It is on liste C, so § 1(3)(3) matters most here: a medicine with at most 0,1 g per dosed unit, or another preparation with at most 2,5 per cent, is outside the order, while the pure substance and stronger preparations are inside it. The strength of any particular product was not checked for this cell. Eksempelliste 1 names Dexofan as a product sold in Denmark under «(C,3)». The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939». Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, the first being «Personer og institutioner m.v. der modtager midlerne i henhold til en efter de til enhver tid gældende regler udfærdiget recept eller rekvisition». Import is reserved: § 9 confines import of liste A, B and C substances, and § 22 import of liste D and E substances, to persons and bodies licensed by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «samt apoteker, herunder sygehusapoteker». The order contains no provision for a traveller's personal supply, and the Faroese medicines legislation, which governs prescriptions, was not read for this cell, so no traveller allowance is stated here and nothing here authorises carrying it.
Documentation: The order read is bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026. Its § 33 puts it in force on 15 June 2026 and repeals bekendtgørelse nr. 90 af 31. januar 2025. A retsinformation.dk search run on 4 October 2026 returned no later order amending it, which does not rule out a later amendment. The order was made by Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet under §§ 1 and 2 of lov om euforiserende stoffer as put in force for the Faroe Islands by royal decree, the decree text being consolidated in anordningsbekendtgørelse nr. 1349 af 23. november 2015. It is a Danish ministerial order made for the Faroe Islands, and the licences it provides for are granted by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «efter forhandling med Landsapotekeren». Customs also has a role. Under § 9 of the order an import certificate for a consignment from outside the European Economic Area is shown to «de statslige told- og skattemyndigheder». The customs legislation itself, the Customs Act regime, was not read for this cell and nothing in it rests on that legislation.

Etizolam

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Etizolam is named on liste E nr. 32 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Etizolam». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as etizolam. It is a thienodiazepine and no product containing it is in the order's Eksempelliste 1; it is placed by its own row with the benzodiazepines on liste E, beside its relatives deschloroetizolam at liste E nr. 24 and metizolam at liste E nr. 61. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

If prescribed / medical: No medicine containing it is named in the order's own Eksempelliste 1 of products sold in Denmark. Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, such as on a prescription or as a licensed laboratory, and none of them is a traveller allowance. Nothing here authorises carrying it.

HHC

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. HHC is named on liste B nr. 219 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Hexahydrocannabinol (6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-6a,7,8,9,10,10a-hexahydro-6H-benzo[c]chromen-1-ol)». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as HHC and hexahydrocannabinol. It is named on its own row and is one of the compounds the Dibenzopyran-gruppen at liste B nr. 455 excepts to its own row. Its heptyl relative HHCP is a separate row. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

Hydrocodone

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Hydrocodone is named on liste B nr. 227 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Hydrocodon INN.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as hydrocodon. No product containing it is in the order's Eksempelliste 1 of products sold in Denmark, so it is a listed opioid with no named local product. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

Import is reserved: § 9 confines import of liste A, B and C substances, and § 22 import of liste D and E substances, to persons and bodies licensed by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «samt apoteker, herunder sygehusapoteker».

Ketamine is named on liste B nr. 259 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Ketamin (2-(2-chlorphenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanon).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as ketamin. The order's Eksempelliste 1 names Ketaminol Vet. a veterinary product, under «(B,259)». Its analogue 2-FDCK has a separate row at liste B nr. 203. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

Khat

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Khat is named on liste A nr. 1 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Catha edulis (hvorved forstås alle dele af planter tilhørende arten Catha edulis).». Bilag 1 says «Liste A omfatter stoffer, der ikke må forefindes her i landet», and § 2 of the order says a liste A substance «må ikke forefindes her i landet, medmindre Lægemiddelstyrelsen under ganske særlige omstændigheder og på nærmere fastsatte vilkår meddeler tilladelse dertil», so import, sale, purchase, receipt, manufacture and possession are all forbidden outside such a permission.
Consequences if caught: Khat is on liste A, the strictest tier, beside heroin and LSD, and not on liste B. The order's Eksempelliste 2 maps «Khat (A,1)». The whole plant is covered, every part of it. Its alkaloids are placed too: cathinone at liste B nr. 86 and cathine at liste D nr. 4, so the leaf and both its active constituents carry an offence. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

Its § 33 puts it in force on 15 June 2026 and repeals bekendtgørelse nr. 90 af 31. januar 2025. A retsinformation.dk search run on 4 October 2026 returned no later order amending it, which does not rule out a later amendment. The order was made by Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet under §§ 1 and 2 of lov om euforiserende stoffer as put in force for the Faroe Islands by royal decree, the decree text being consolidated in anordningsbekendtgørelse nr. 1349 af 23. november 2015. It is a Danish ministerial order made for the Faroe Islands, and the licences it provides for are granted by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «efter forhandling med Landsapotekeren». Customs also has a role. Under § 9 of the order an import certificate for a consignment from outside the European Economic Area is shown to «de statslige told- og skattemyndigheder». The customs legislation itself, the Customs Act regime, was not read for this cell and nothing in it rests on that legislation. Carry any medicine in its original packaging with its prescription, and confirm the current rule with the Faroese authorities before travel.

Kratom

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Kratom is named on liste B nr. 262 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Kratom (mitragyna speciosa).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as kratom and mitragyna. The plant has its own row, and so do its alkaloids: mitragynine at liste B nr. 334 and 7-hydroxymitragynine at liste B nr. 231. Section 1 extends the plant row to preparations made from it, so leaf, powder, extract and capsules are all reached. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939». Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: No medicine containing it is named in the order's own Eksempelliste 1 of products sold in Denmark. Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, such as on a prescription or as a licensed laboratory, and none of them is a traveller allowance. Nothing here authorises carrying it.

Lorazepam

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Lorazepam is named on liste E nr. 51 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Lorazepam INN.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as lorazepam. The order's Eksempelliste 1 names Temesta as a product sold in Denmark under «(E,51)». The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.

Import is reserved: § 9 confines import of liste A, B and C substances, and § 22 import of liste D and E substances, to persons and bodies licensed by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «samt apoteker, herunder sygehusapoteker».

LSD

Legal status: Controlled under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control framework (distinct from Denmark), possession, sale and trafficking are offences; the specific consolidating statute is left to confirmation against current Faroese law; the maximum penalty is imprisonment
Consequences if caught: LSD is controlled in the Faroe Islands under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control framework. In the Faroe Islands, drugs fall under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control and customs-enforcement framework, the Faroes self-govern health and justice and operate a drug-control regime distinct from Denmark. The specific consolidating statute is left to confirmation against current Faroese law. Trafficking carries imprisonment together with a fine. The maximum penalty for a drug offence is imprisonment. This cell is sourced via the Faroese Government portal (government.fo) and the Library of Congress with UNODC corroboration.
If prescribed / medical: Not a prescribed traveller medicine in this form.

MDA

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands under its international name. MDA is placed on liste B nr. 427 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, printed as «Tenamfetamin INN.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: The row is printed under its international name, tenamfetamine, not MDA; searched as MDA, tenamfetamin and methylendioxyamphetamin. The order's own Eksempelliste 2 maps «MDA (B,428)», but liste B nr. 428 is «Tenocyclidin INN.», a different compound, so that cross reference is an error in the instrument and the main list, at nr. 427, governs. Tenamfetamin is one of the compounds the Phenethylamin-gruppen at liste B nr. 460 excepts to its own row. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

MDPV

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. MDPV is named on liste B nr. 291 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «MDPV (1-(3,4-methylendioxyphenyl)-2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-pentan-1-on).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as MDPV and methylendioxypyrovaleron. It is named on its own row, so whether the Cathinon-gruppen at liste B nr. 453 would also reach it does not need deciding. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

Mephedrone (4-MMC)

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Mephedrone is named on liste B nr. 303 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Mephedron (4-methylmethcathinon).». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as mephedron and methylmethcathinon. Its 3-methyl isomer 3-MMC is a separate row at liste B nr. 323, which the Cathinon-gruppen at liste B nr. 453 excepts to its own row; mephedrone is not on that exception list, so the group would reach it too, though its named row is the operative one. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

Methadone

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Methadone is named on liste B nr. 309 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Methadon INN.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as methadon. The order's Eksempelliste 1 lists the product Metadon as «Metadon (B,310)», but liste B nr. 310 is «Methadon-Intermediat (2-dimethyl-amino-4-cyano-4,4-diphenylbutan).», the precursor, so that cross reference points one row too far and the main list, at nr. 309, governs. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939». Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, the first being «Personer og institutioner m.v. der modtager midlerne i henhold til en efter de til enhver tid gældende regler udfærdiget recept eller rekvisition». Import is reserved: § 9 confines import of liste A, B and C substances, and § 22 import of liste D and E substances, to persons and bodies licensed by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «samt apoteker, herunder sygehusapoteker». The order contains no provision for a traveller's personal supply, and the Faroese medicines legislation, which governs prescriptions, was not read for this cell, so no traveller allowance is stated here and nothing here authorises carrying it.
Documentation: The order read is bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026. Its § 33 puts it in force on 15 June 2026 and repeals bekendtgørelse nr. 90 af 31. januar 2025. A retsinformation.dk search run on 4 October 2026 returned no later order amending it, which does not rule out a later amendment. The order was made by Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet under §§ 1 and 2 of lov om euforiserende stoffer as put in force for the Faroe Islands by royal decree, the decree text being consolidated in anordningsbekendtgørelse nr. 1349 af 23. november 2015. It is a Danish ministerial order made for the Faroe Islands, and the licences it provides for are granted by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «efter forhandling med Landsapotekeren». Customs also has a role. Under § 9 of the order an import certificate for a consignment from outside the European Economic Area is shown to «de statslige told- og skattemyndigheder». The customs legislation itself, the Customs Act regime, was not read for this cell and nothing in it rests on that legislation. Carry any medicine in its original packaging with its prescription, and confirm the current rule with the Faroese authorities before travel.

Methaqualone (Quaaludes)

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Methaqualone is named on liste B nr. 311 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Methaqualon INN.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as methaqualon. Its chlorinated relative mecloqualone is a separate liste B row. No product containing it is in the order's Eksempelliste 1. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939». Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: No medicine containing it is named in the order's own Eksempelliste 1 of products sold in Denmark. Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, such as on a prescription or as a licensed laboratory, and none of them is a traveller allowance. Nothing here authorises carrying it.

Methylone

Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as methylon and bk-MDMA. It is named on its own row; its ethyl relatives ethylone and eutylone are separate rows the Cathinon-gruppen excepts. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people.

Methylphenidate

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Methylphenidate is named on liste B nr. 327 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Methylphenidat INN.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as methylphenidat. The order's Eksempelliste 1 names Concerta, Equasym, Equasym Depot, Medikinet, Medikinet CR, Motiron, Ritalin and Ritalin Uno as products sold in Denmark under «(B,327)». Several of its designer analogues, such as ethylphenidate and 4F-MPH, are separate liste B rows. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, the first being «Personer og institutioner m.v. der modtager midlerne i henhold til en efter de til enhver tid gældende regler udfærdiget recept eller rekvisition». Import is reserved: § 9 confines import of liste A, B and C substances, and § 22 import of liste D and E substances, to persons and bodies licensed by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «samt apoteker, herunder sygehusapoteker».

Consequences if caught: Searched as mitragynin. The plant it comes from, kratom, is at liste B nr. 262, and its relative 7-hydroxymitragynine at liste B nr. 231, so alkaloid and leaf are both placed and the family carries no gap.

Consequences if caught: Searched as nimetazepam. It is not in the order's Eksempelliste 1 of products sold in Denmark, so no local product is named; the placement rests on the list row alone.

Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, the first being «Personer og institutioner m.v. der modtager midlerne i henhold til en efter de til enhver tid gældende regler udfærdiget recept eller rekvisition». Import is reserved: § 9 confines import of liste A, B and C substances, and § 22 import of liste D and E substances, to persons and bodies licensed by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «samt apoteker, herunder sygehusapoteker». The order contains no provision for a traveller's personal supply, and the Faroese medicines legislation, which governs prescriptions, was not read for this cell, so no traveller allowance is stated here and nothing here authorises carrying it.
Documentation: The order read is bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026. Its § 33 puts it in force on 15 June 2026 and repeals bekendtgørelse nr. 90 af 31. januar 2025. A retsinformation.dk search run on 4 October 2026 returned no later order amending it, which does not rule out a later amendment. The order was made by Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet under §§ 1 and 2 of lov om euforiserende stoffer as put in force for the Faroe Islands by royal decree, the decree text being consolidated in anordningsbekendtgørelse nr. 1349 af 23. november 2015. It is a Danish ministerial order made for the Faroe Islands, and the licences it provides for are granted by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «efter forhandling med Landsapotekeren». Customs also has a role. Under § 9 of the order an import certificate for a consignment from outside the European Economic Area is shown to «de statslige told- og skattemyndigheder». The customs legislation itself, the Customs Act regime, was not read for this cell and nothing in it rests on that legislation. Carry any medicine in its original packaging with its prescription, and confirm the current rule with the Faroese authorities before travel.

PCP

Legal status: Controlled under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control framework (distinct from Denmark), possession, sale and trafficking are offences; the specific consolidating statute is left to confirmation against current Faroese law; the maximum penalty is imprisonment
Consequences if caught: PCP is controlled in the Faroe Islands under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control framework. In the Faroe Islands, drugs fall under the Faroe Islands' own narcotics-control and customs-enforcement framework, the Faroes self-govern health and justice and operate a drug-control regime distinct from Denmark. The specific consolidating statute is left to confirmation against current Faroese law. Trafficking carries imprisonment together with a fine. The maximum penalty for a drug offence is imprisonment. This cell is sourced via the Faroese Government portal (government.fo) and the Library of Congress with UNODC corroboration.
If prescribed / medical: Not a prescribed traveller medicine in this form.

Peyote

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands through a cactus entry that reaches it by its mescaline content rather than under its own name. Liste B nr. 258 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, reads «Kaktus og frø af arterne Echinopsis pachanoi og Echinopsis peruviana eller andre, der indeholder stoffet meskalin». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Peyote, Lophophora williamsii, is not named; searched as peyote, Lophophora and meskalin. The row names two Echinopsis species and then extends to «eller andre, der indeholder stoffet meskalin», any other cactus containing mescaline, and peyote is such a cactus. Mescaline itself is a separate row at liste B nr. 304, so the cactus and its alkaloid are both placed. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code. Lov nr. 740 af 13. juni 2023 cites it as «straffelov for Færøerne, jf. lovbekendtgørelse nr. 215 af 24. juni 1939». Its § 191 was not read for this cell: no consolidation of it was found on retsinformation.dk and the logir.fo search could not be driven from here. No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: No medicine containing it is named in the order's own Eksempelliste 1 of products sold in Denmark. Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, such as on a prescription or as a licensed laboratory, and none of them is a traveller allowance. Nothing here authorises carrying it.

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands through whatever the powder actually contains, not under its street name. Pink cocaine, or tusi, is not named in liste A, B, C, D or E of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, and each candidate ingredient is named on a row of its own. Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as tusi, tucibi and pink, with no row returned. The order places each candidate ingredient on its own row: 2C-B is «2C-B (4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine).» at liste B nr. 87, ketamine is at liste B nr. 259, MDMA is «MDMA (3,4-Methylendioxy-methamphetamin).» at liste B nr. 277, cocaine is at liste B nr. 101, and the cathinones are reached by their own rows or the Cathinon-gruppen at liste B nr. 453. Section 1 of the order extends every list to «mulige salte og simple derivater med euforiserende virkning af de nævnte stoffer, f.eks. estere og ætere», and to preparations that contain or are made from a listed substance. So a mixture is reached by whichever placed component it contains. A powder containing none of them would not be reached by this order, and the label is not evidence of the contents. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse». Section 3(1) of the Act as in force for the Faroe Islands punishes a breach «med bøde eller fængsel indtil 2 år», a fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years, and requires the court to weigh «skadevirkningerne af de pågældende stoffer», the harmfulness of the substance. Section 3(2) makes it «en betydelig skærpende omstændighed» that the case concerns repeated sale of a particularly dangerous or harmful substance, or sale, or free transfer with a view to later sale, at restaurants, discotheques, concerts or music festivals or at other events attended mainly by children or young people. Section 3 a lets a company be held criminally liable under chapter 5 of «den for Færøerne gældende straffelovs», the penal code in force for the Faroe Islands, and this cell reads the straffelov named in § 30 as that same code.

No ceiling for that tier is therefore stated, and the figures in the Danish straffelov, which is a different statute, are not carried over.
If prescribed / medical: Pink cocaine is a street product, not a medicine, and no prescription route in the order covers it. Section 6 allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, such as on a prescription or as a licensed laboratory, and none of them is a traveller allowance. Nothing here authorises carrying it.

Poppers

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands for the two nitrites the order names, which is narrower than the label. «Amylnitrit (alle isomerer af amylgruppen).» is on liste E nr. 6 and «Isobutylnitrit.» on liste E nr. 47 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, and the order's own Eksempelliste 2 maps «Poppers (E,6)». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Poppers is a label for a family of alkyl nitrites and the bottle does not say which one it holds. Searched as nitrit, poppers, isopropyl and butyl. Amyl nitrite, every isomer of the amyl group, and isobutyl nitrite are placed. Isopropyl nitrite and n-butyl nitrite returned no row, so a product containing only those is not reached by the order. Both placed nitrites are on liste E, the medical and scientific use tier, so sale and possession outside the § 6 routes are offences. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

Salvia divinorum

Legal status: Controlled in the Faroe Islands. Salvia divinorum is named on liste B nr. 417 of bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026, where the entry reads «Salvia divinorum.». Bilag 1 says «Liste B, D og E omfatter stoffer, der kun må benyttes til medicinsk og videnskabelig brug», and § 3 of the order repeats that «Euforiserende midler må her i landet kun anvendes i medicinsk eller videnskabeligt øjemed».
Consequences if caught: Searched as salvia and salvinorin. The plant has its own row and its active constituent has another, liste B nr. 418, «Salvinorin A», so plant and alkaloid are both placed. Section 1 extends the plant row to extracts, so the fortified leaf products are reached as preparations. The offence is not in the order. Its § 30 says a breach «straffes efter § 3 og § 3 a i lov om euforiserende stoffer, som sat i kraft for Færøerne ved kongelig anordning», and adds «Under de i § 191 i straffeloven angivne omstændigheder straffes overtrædelsen dog efter denne bestemmelse».

The offence is not in the order.

Consequences if caught: Searched as tramadol. It is on liste B, beside morphine at nr. 339 and oxycodone at nr. 374, and not on liste C, D or E. In the repealed order of 31 January 2025 the same entry stood at liste B nr. 335 a, and the 2026 order renumbered the list. No tramadol product is in the order's Eksempelliste 1.

If prescribed / medical: Section 6 of the order allows receipt and possession of a listed substance only in named cases, the first being «Personer og institutioner m.v. der modtager midlerne i henhold til en efter de til enhver tid gældende regler udfærdiget recept eller rekvisition». Import is reserved: § 9 confines import of liste A, B and C substances, and § 22 import of liste D and E substances, to persons and bodies licensed by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «samt apoteker, herunder sygehusapoteker». The order contains no provision for a traveller's personal supply, and the Faroese medicines legislation, which governs prescriptions, was not read for this cell, so no traveller allowance is stated here and nothing here authorises carrying it.
Documentation: The order read is bekendtgørelse nr. 495 af 26. maj 2026 for Færøerne om euforiserende stoffer, as in force on 4 October 2026. Its § 33 puts it in force on 15 June 2026 and repeals bekendtgørelse nr. 90 af 31. januar 2025. A retsinformation.dk search run on 4 October 2026 returned no later order amending it, which does not rule out a later amendment. The order was made by Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet under §§ 1 and 2 of lov om euforiserende stoffer as put in force for the Faroe Islands by royal decree, the decree text being consolidated in anordningsbekendtgørelse nr. 1349 af 23. november 2015. It is a Danish ministerial order made for the Faroe Islands, and the licences it provides for are granted by Lægemiddelstyrelsen «efter forhandling med Landsapotekeren». Customs also has a role. Under § 9 of the order an import certificate for a consignment from outside the European Economic Area is shown to «de statslige told- og skattemyndigheder». The customs legislation itself, the Customs Act regime, was not read for this cell and nothing in it rests on that legislation. Carry any medicine in its original packaging with its prescription, and confirm the current rule with the Faroese authorities before travel.
