DEA — Drug Enforcement Administration

Parent: U.S. Department of Justice. Domains in this note: dea.gov.

What they regulate

DEA enforces controlled-substances law and runs diversion-control registration for handlers of scheduled drugs. It does not license general freight brokers, customs brokers, or insurance producers. Pharma and cold-chain logistics may still need FMCSA/CBP authority plus any DEA registrant status that matches the activity. Indexed ≠ endorsed.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. DEA home — Federal controlled-substances enforcement agency — not a state insurance producer or general freight-broker licence register.
  2. Diversion control / registration — Prefer live DEA diversion materials for registrant context; this is not a BrokerMafia endorsement.

Questions this page answers

Does DEA license freight or insurance brokers?

No. DEA is a controlled-substances enforcement/registration agency. General freight brokerage (when applicable) is primarily an FMCSA path; insurance producers are primarily state DOI.

DEA vs FDA for pharma logistics?

FDA regulates drugs/devices/facilities; DEA controls scheduled substances and registrant status. Neither replaces an FMCSA broker authority or a state producer licence when those layers apply.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?

No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
