Export of Chemicals From the United States to Colombia; Policy Statement

Краткое содержание

Notice is hereby given that regular customer status for Colombian customers is being revoked under Section 1018(c)(1) of the Controlled Substance Import Export Act (CSIE) (21 U.S.C. 971(c)(1)). Each U.S. exporter is being informed by letter that they must notify DEA at least 15 days in advance of shipment of certain chemicals listed in 21 CFR 1310.04, if the shipment is from the United States with an ultimate destination of Colombia. Moreover, in view of the danger that chemical shipments may be diverted into the illicit manufacture of cocaine, a heightened review process will be instituted for such exports and for transhipments. The exception under Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR), Section 1313.24, allowing exporters to notify DEA as late as the day of shipment for transactions between a ``regulated person'' and a ``regular customer'' will not apply to shipments of certain chemicals to Colombia until further notice.
