U.S. exports of cocaine, ecgonine; their salts, esters and other derivatives (HS 293972) totaled $40K in December 2025, traded with 4 countries.
Pharmaceutical-grade cocaine and ecgonine — classified under tariff line 2939720000 — are Schedule II controlled substances with a narrow but legitimate medical use as topical anesthetics in ENT and ophthalmic procedures. Germany, Switzerland, and France are the leading US suppliers, reflecting the concentration of licensed narcotic manufacturers in Western Europe. Every import shipment requires a DEA import permit, and the importing establishment must hold a Schedule II DEA registration; CBP and DEA coordinate closely at entry to verify permit validity and quantity against approved quotas.

Pharmaceutical cocaine hydrochloride is used as a topical anesthetic and vasoconstrictor in ENT surgeries and certain ophthalmic procedures. It is the only local anesthetic that simultaneously constricts blood vessels, making it clinically distinct from synthetic alternatives for specific surgical applications.
DEA sets annual aggregate production and import quotas for Schedule II substances including cocaine. Licensed importers must apply for quota allocations and obtain individual import permits for each shipment. Quantities are strictly tracked against the approved quota, and any overage or discrepancy triggers immediate regulatory action.
