Research Chemicals USA

Domestic delivery is available within the United States for eligible, non-controlled laboratory reagents. Qualifying orders are shipped from within the country. Service availability depends on the destination, carrier requirements and any special handling rules that apply to the material.

Federal and state requirements

“Research chemical” is not a legal classification and does not tell you whether a substance may be bought, possessed or distributed. Under 21 U.S.C. § 822, people who manufacture or distribute controlled substances or List I chemicals generally need the relevant federal registration, and their activities must remain within its scope. Separate federal rules govern import and export under 21 U.S.C. § 957. State and local laws may impose additional restrictions.

What domestic delivery means

The delivery information on this page applies only to materials that may lawfully be supplied and transported to the recipient. It is not a promise that every substance in a research catalogue is available in every state, nor does a “for research use” label make a controlled substance exempt from the law. Confirm the exact chemical identity and applicable requirements before arranging delivery.
