Hemp Testing Enforcement Discretion
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service is delaying until December 31, 2025, the enforcement of a requirement that all hemp must be tested by a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)-registered laboratory. Information about this delay in enforcement is available on the Information for Hemp Testing Laboratories webpage.
For information on registering a hemp testing laboratory with the Drug Enforcement Administration please visit the DEA Division Control Division website.
Laboratories will use the Hemp eManagement Platform (HeMP) to submit hemp test results. To use HeMP, laboratories will need to have a HeMP account. If you have not created an account yet, please view the instructions to create or access a HeMP account.
