Effective 8-1-07 any solution or mixer containing 5%+ Iodine will be regulated by the DEA.
Basically what this means is that:

2) Distributors OR Manufacturers who sell Lugol's Solution must register with the Federal Government (DEA) AND follow Federal Record Keeping requirements per CSA.
3) Products containing less than 2.2% Iodine will not be regulated so expect to see 2.2% Iodine Solutions on the market.
4) The subject of the regulation is Iodine crystals (sublimed I) which are being used in Narcotic manufacturing. Potassium Iodide/Sodium Iodide, etc are not affected.
