Can I bring Ritalin into Hong Kong? (2026)

Allowed only if you arrange approval first.

Ritalin contains Methylphenidate (also sold as Ritalin, Concerta). Carry it in original packaging with your prescription or a doctor's letter.

• Methylphenidate is controlled in Hong Kong - you need an import permit or advance approval before you travel.
• Apply ahead of time and carry the approval together with your prescription.
