According to Article 2 of the Regulations on the Administration of Precursor Chemicals, precursor chemicals are classified into three categories. Category I comprises primary raw materials that can be used for drug manufacture, while Categories II and III include chemical agents that can be used for drug manufacture. The State implements a classification management and licensing system for the production, operation, purchase, transportation, import, and export of precursor chemicals.
