Abstract: The DEA import/export declarations (DEA Forms 486 and 486A), will be replaced with an electronic process. Upon receipt of a complete declaration through the Diversion Control Division secure network application, DEA will provide the importer or exporter with the notice of receipt that must then be filed with Custom Border Patrol (CBP) as part of the CBP import or export filing through Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), or any successor system. DEA will also transmit the declaration information electronically to CBP so that customs officers can validate importations and exportations subject to DEA regulations. Because of the requirement that regulated persons submit reports of regulated transactions in Listed chemicals to the DEA, the DEA is requiring such domestic regulated transaction reports to be submitted through the DEA Diversion Control Division secure network application, in addition to import and export regulated transactions. Mandatory reporting requirements for domestic regulated transactions are included as part of this rule because it allows for the DEA to create, at one time, an efficient, streamlined reporting structure of regulated activities applicable to tableting and encapsulating machines. As part of the implementation of the International Trade Data System (ITDS), the DEA is mandating electronic filing of return information for any person who desires to import non-narcotic substances in schedules III, IV, and V or to export non-narcotic substances in schedules III and IV and any other substance in schedule V, to furnish a controlled substances import declaration/controlled substance export invoice on DEA Forms 486 and 486A
