DEA proposes extending the controlled-substances reexport period from 180 to 365 days (non-tariff notice)

A DEA proposed rule (Docket No. DEA-730, 91 FR 62357, published 2026-10-01) would extend the time allowed for reexports of controlled substances outside the European Economic Area from 180 days to 365 days from the date of original CBP release; comments are open. CBP is referenced only as the release-date anchor — drug-enforcement regulation, unrelated to U.S. import-duty calculation and no HTS rate change.
