The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) maintains lists regarding the classification of illicit drugs (see DEA Schedules). It also maintains List I of chemicals and List II of chemicals, which contain chemicals that are used to manufacture the controlled substances/illicit drugs. The lists are designated within The Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. ยง 802, paragraphs 34 (list I) and 35 (list II).

Contents

Although the list is designated by the U.S. Attorney General, the list is considered a DEA list because the DEA publishes and enforces the list.

Suppliers of these products are subject to regulation and control measures.

List I chemicals

These chemicals are designated as those that are used in the manufacture of the controlled substances and are important to the manufacture of the substances.

List II chemicals

These chemicals are designated as those that are used in the manufacture of the controlled substances.

Chemicals

All listed chemicals as specified in 21 CFR 1310.02 (a) or (b). This includes supplements which contain a listed chemical, regardless of their dosage form or packaging and regardless of whether the chemical mixture, drug product or dietary supplement is exempt from regulatory controls.
