<\/p>\nTravellers beware, you may be unknowingly carrying banned substances into the UAE.<\/p>\n
A detailed list of substances, which contain popular ingredients including\u00a0codeine and pseudoephiderine has been issued by the Ministry of Health and Prevention.<\/p>\n
Travellers found\u00a0with any on the list could face arrest and deportation, depending on the quantity found.<\/p>\n
The course of action will depend based on quantity, whether the amount is for personal use, or whether the person is carrying the item to sell in the UAE.<\/p>\n
However, you can seek permission from the\u00a0Registration and Drug Control Department of the ministry before you travel, to ensure you’ll have permission to enter with small quantities.<\/p>\n
Travellers are expected have a valid medical prescription if carrying the items.<\/p>\n
