Is Hydrocodone legal in Aceh (Indonesia)?
- Legal status
- In Aceh, hydrocodone is governed by national Narcotics Law No. 35/2009 as a Narkotika Golongan II substance (the sharia Qanun Jinayat has no narcotics provisions); though not marketed it sits in the strong-opioid tier, and Golongan II trafficking is death-eligible above 5 g (Arts. 118(2)/119(2)).
- Consequences if caught
- National-law penalties apply — Golongan II trafficking above 5 g is death-eligible; the Qanun's caning targets alcohol and morality offences, not narcotics.
- If prescribed or medical
- No marketed hydrocodone product; a Golongan II narcotic is dispensed only under national narcotic control.
- Documentation
- Declare controlled medicines and confirm import rules with BPOM.
