2 import shipments a month
Importers must hold a DEA Schedule I/II importer registration and obtain a DEA Form 161 import permit for each shipment prior to the goods departing the country of export. The permit specifies the controlled substance, quantity, and foreign supplier. CBP will not release the shipment without confirmation of DEA authorization.
Yes. Pharmaceutical-grade amfetamine salts intended for drug product manufacturing are subject to FDA review as drug substances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The foreign manufacturer must be registered with FDA, and the API must be manufactured under cGMP conditions. Both DEA and FDA requirements must be satisfied concurrently; consult a licensed customs broker experienced in controlled substance imports to coordinate the dual-agency process.
