DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) requirements

Hello. I see it’s been a while since you sent this. I wanted to share what we did and ask what you’ve done since posting this.

Our business used Export License to capture purchasing of these items. The export license calculates the amount purchased and subtracts this from the total quota amount. Overall, this works well for us. 

The issue we face is at the end of each year when we receive the material before year-end, but it doesn’t make it through inspection until start of the next year. The export license expiration date is set based on Planned Receipt Date and not Planned Delivery Date. 

Because of this, we either have to hit the next year’s quota (not preferred), or manipulate the dates to show receipt & inspection complete within the calendar year. 

I look forward to hearing your solution or if you have further questions into what we did. 

Thanks, Jeff
