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 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
