Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain DEA registration and import permit for opioid alkaloids like codeine to ensure compliance with controlled substances regulations

Provide detailed composition certificates and stability data, as mixtures must verify therapeutic intent without retail dosing

Avoid misclassification as unmixed products; confirm mixing process documentation to prevent reclassification under Chapter 29
