Opium and related vegetable saps classified here are among the most tightly controlled import commodities in US trade law, subject to DEA Schedule I/II controlled-substance import permits in addition to standard CBP entry requirements. The two 10-digit lines — 1302110000 and 1302110002 — cover opium broadly and specifically, and any importation requires advance DEA authorization; unauthorized entry constitutes a federal criminal offense. India is the primary licit global supplier of pharmaceutical-grade opium alkaloids under international narcotics control treaties, and all shipments must be consistent with INCB quota allocations. Admissibility is highly complex; consult a licensed customs broker and DEA-registered legal counsel before any import attempt.

Importation requires a DEA Schedule I or II controlled-substance import permit issued in advance of shipment. The importer must be a DEA-registered entity, and the quantity must fall within the US annual aggregate production quota allocated under the Controlled Substances Act. CBP will not release the shipment without confirmation of DEA authorization, and INCB treaty obligations impose additional international reporting requirements.
The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) administers a global quota system under the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. Each year, the US DEA submits an estimate of legitimate medical and scientific needs, and the INCB sets national import quotas accordingly. Importers cannot exceed these quotas regardless of commercial demand, making supply planning and DEA coordination essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers relying on opium-derived alkaloids.
