About DEA Regulations
Overview
Overview
Under the Domestic Chemical Diversion Control Act of 1993, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulates specific chemicals, which impose requirements on companies that manufacture, import, export, and/or sell domestically certain chemicals that could be diverted to make illegal drugs.
The acts were passed in response to Drug Enforcement Administration concerns that these chemicals, which of course have many legitimate uses, are being diverted to the illegal manufacture of drugs such as cocaine, heroin, speed, and PCP.
