It is unlawful for any person other than an authorised supplier to import, export, sell, offer for sale or distribute a controlled substance if he or she is not an authorised purchaser. Any importation, exportation, sale, offer for sale or distribution of controlled substances must be in accordance with the relevant code of practice. Records of imports, exports and sale shall be kept as prescribed. Licences for trade shall be granted by the Chief Executive Officer. The Regulations also concern labelling of controlled substances, enforcement and monitoring.
