U.S. imports of levometamfetamine, metamfetamine (inn) & metamfetamine racemate, and their salts (HS 293945) totaled $40K in June 2026, traded with 4 countries.
Levometamfetamine, Metamfetamine (INN) & Metamfetamine Racemate, and Their Salts imports of $40K in June 2026 ran 257% above the year-to-date monthly average of $11K.
Metamfetamine (INN) and its stereoisomers — levometamfetamine and the racemic mixture — along with their salts, are Schedule II controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act, subject to the most stringent DEA import controls outside Schedule I. The single US tariff line (2939450000) covers all three forms, which have distinct pharmacological profiles: levometamfetamine is used in OTC nasal decongestants, while metamfetamine HCl is an FDA-approved Schedule II drug for ADHD and obesity. Germany, Switzerland, and Canada are among the recorded suppliers, reflecting the pharmaceutical manufacturing infrastructure required to produce these compounds under licensed conditions. Importers must hold Schedule II DEA registrations and obtain per-shipment import permits.

Both are Schedule II controlled substances at the DEA level, but their approved pharmaceutical uses differ. Levometamfetamine is the active ingredient in certain OTC nasal inhalers and has lower abuse potential than the d-isomer. Metamfetamine HCl (d-methamphetamine) is a Schedule II prescription drug. Despite sharing tariff line 2939450000, each requires separate DEA scheduling documentation, and the certificate of analysis must specify the stereoisomeric form to support both DEA permit issuance and FDA admissibility review.
Canada has licensed pharmaceutical manufacturers operating under Health Canada's controlled substance framework, which is recognized by DEA as a legitimate source for Schedule II API imports. USMCA does not alter DEA permit requirements, but the proximity and established regulatory equivalence between US and Canadian pharmaceutical oversight can simplify facility audits and documentation exchange compared to more distant suppliers.
