Sec. 1304.32  Reports of manufacturers importing coca leaves.

    (a) Every manufacturer importing or manufacturing from raw coca 
leaves shall submit information accounting for the importation and for 
all manufacturing operations performed between the importation and the 
manufacture of bulk or finished products standardized in accordance with 
U.S. Pharmacopoeia, National Formulary, or other recognized standards. 
The reports shall be submitted quarterly on company letterhead to the 
Drug Enforcement Administration, Drug and Chemical Evaluation Section, 
Washington, DC 20537, on or before the 15th day of the month immediately 
following the period for which it is submitted.
    (b) The following information shall be submitted for raw coca leaf, 
ecgonine, ecgonine for conversion or further manufacture, 
benzoylecgonine, manufacturing coca extracts (list for tinctures and 
extracts; and others separately), other crude alkaloids and other 
derivatives (quantities should be reported as grams of actual quantity 
involved and the cocaine alkaloid content or equivalency):
    (1) Beginning inventory;
    (2) Imports;
    (3) Gains on reweighing;
    (4) Quantity purchased;
    (5) Quantity produced;
    (6) Other receipts;
    (7) Quantity returned to processes for reworking;
    (8) Material used in purification for sale;
    (9) Material used for manufacture or production;
    (10) Losses on reweighing;
    (11) Material used for conversion;
    (12) Other dispositions and
    (13) Ending inventory.
    (c) The following information shall be submitted for importation of 
coca leaves:
    (1) Import permit number;
    (2) Date the shipment arrived at the United States port of entry;
    (3) Actual quantity shipped;
    (4) Assay (percent) of cocaine alkaloid and
    (5) Total cocaine alkaloid content.
    (d) Upon importation of coca leaves, samples will be selected and 
assays made by the importing manufacturer in accordance with recognized 
chemical procedures. These assays shall form the basis of accounting for 
such coca leaves, which shall be accounted for in terms of their cocaine 
alkaloid content or equivalency or their total anhydrous coca alkaloid 
content. Where final assay data is not determined at the time of 
submission, the report shall be made on the basis of the best data 
available, subject to adjustment, and the necessary adjusting entries 
shall be made on the next report.
    (e) Where factory procedure is such that partial withdrawals of 
medicinal coca leaves are made from individual containers, there shall 
be attached to the container a stock record card on which shall be kept 
a complete record of withdrawals therefrom.
    (f) All in-process inventories should be expressed in terms of end-
products and not precursors. Once precursor material has been changed or 
placed into process for the manufacture of a specified end-product, it 
must no longer be accounted for as precursor stocks available for 
conversion or use, but rather as end-product in-process inventories.
