In the United States, 'listed substance' is primarily used in federal drug enforcement, pharmaceuticals regulation, and chemical control contexts, governed by agencies like the DEA and FDA. In Brazil, the term 'substância listada' is used in similar regulatory frameworks, particularly by ANVISA (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária) and federal law enforcement. The term carries significant legal weight in both countries, as listing a substance triggers specific legal restrictions and monitoring requirements.
