Is Oxycodone legal in China?

Legal status

Oxycodone is a controlled narcotic drug in China (a prescription-only strong opioid); 347 catch-all for trafficking 'other narcotic drugs in large quantities,' though no oxycodone-specific gram figure is published, the capital weight is left to confirmation.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: not established for this substance. China retains the death penalty for drug offences, under Criminal Law article 347, for trafficking a large quantity, and that much is established here. What is not established is this substance's own position under it: the source read here gives neither the article that would carry it nor any quantity at which it would apply. No threshold is stated in this cell because none was established. Do not read the absence of a figure as a safe amount. The country level position is the one to act on, and the substance specific position has to be settled against the current instrument.

If prescribed or medical

Dispensed as a controlled narcotic analgesic on prescription; unlicensed import is treated as smuggling.

Documentation

Carry a prescription and declare controlled medicines; unlicensed import is treated as smuggling.

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