You seem to be right: https://www.fordham.edu/student-life/deans-of-students-and-student-life/student-handbook/university-regulations/drug-free-campus-guidelines/federal-trafficking-penalties-for-schedules-i-ii-iii-iv-and-v-except-marijuana/
For the substances/schedules and larger amounts:
Fentanyl (Schedule IV): 400 g or more mixture
Fentanyl Analogue (Schedule I): 100 g or more mixture
First Offense: Not less than 10 years, and not more than life. If death or serious injury, not less than 20 years, or more than life. Fine of not more than $10 million if an individual, $50 million if not an individual
Fentanyl (Schedule I): 40-399 g mixture
First Offense: Not less than 5 years, and not more than 40 years. If death or serious injury, not less than 20 years or more than life. Fine of not more than $5 million if an individual, $25 million if not an individual.
So the 400g is a federal sentencing threshold that doubles the penalty.
Yeah, i later saw something ITT about another case involving kg amounts were the "400g or more" thing was also mentioned.
It's worth noting that with pills or especially patches, it's not that hard to get over the 400g threshold, as the US counts total weight of the drugs, nor weight of the active ingredient. It's easily something that affects small time dealers when you calculate it like that, which ofc has always been the purpose of this policy.
