Not individually verified

We have not confirmed that Oxycodone specifically is scheduled in Yemen, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record
Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Yemen's authorities (Law No. 3 of 1993) / your embassy

Confirm directly with Yemen’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
