DEA list of chemicals
The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) maintains lists regarding the classification of illicit drugs (see DEA Schedules). It also maintains List I of chemicals and List II of chemicals, which contain chemicals that are used to manufacture the controlled substances/illicit drugs. The lists are designated within the Controlled Substances Act[1] but can be modified by the U.S. Attorney General as illegal manufacturing practices change.
Although the list is controlled by the Attorney General, the list is considered a DEA list because the DEA publishes and enforces the list.
Suppliers of these products are subject to regulation and control measures:[2]
Regulation | List I | List II | Tabulating and Encapsulating Machines | Special Surveillance List |
---|---|---|---|---|
Know your customer | X | X | X | X |
Annual manufacturing, inventory, and use reports for bulk manufacturers | X | X | X | |
15 day advanced DEA notice required for imports, exports, and transshipments | X | X | ||
15 day advanced DEA notice required for international transactions | X | X | ||
Keep transaction records for at least two years | X | X | ||
Maintain effective security controls | X | X | ||
Required reporting for unusual sales and losses or sales to DEA-identified companies | X | X | ||
Registration required for manufacturing,distribution, import, or export | X | |||
Reports of mail-order sales to non-regulated entities | X |
