What the document says
“``(6) Importation and exportation requirements not affected.--Nothing in this subsection alters the requirements of part A of title III, regarding the importation and exportation of controlled substances.”
A savings clause. The new subsection leaves the requirements of part A of title III, on the importation and exportation of controlled substances, as they stand. Those requirements are in the amended statute, which is not indexed here.
What the document actually says
“``(6) Importation and exportation requirements not affected.--Nothing in this subsection alters the requirements of part A of title III, regarding the importation and exportation of controlled substances.”
That sentence, in plain words
This rule does not touch the rules on bringing drugs in or sending them out. Those rules stay as they are.
What this is about
A researcher may get a drug from abroad. The older rules still cover that step. The faster route here does not change them.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
