Drug laws and licensing
Import and export licences
Companies need to complete specific forms to enable them to import or export controlled drugs.
Apply for a domestic licence
A company or other organisation that intends to import or export a controlled drug will need the relevant domestic licence before it can apply for an import/export licence.
See the domestic licences section for more information and an application form.
Apply for an import or export licence
Complete the relevant application form for import and export licences and e-mail it to us at import_export_druglicences@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
The application must be filled in correctly as it will form part of the licence.
Export Declaration
Companies holding blanket export licences should then complete an export declaration form immediately following each shipment. This should be sent to our contact address.
HM Revenue and Customs
Without the appropriate licences goods could be seized by HM Revenue and Customs.
