Chapter 29 classification notes

Key chapter for pharmaceutical intermediates, narcotic and psychotropic substances (controlled under the 1961 and 1971 UN Conventions), and list-1 chemicals under the 1988 Convention (drug-precursor control). Import requires prior authorisation from the national competent authority.
