Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the ester is not put up in forms for retail sale, which would shift classification per Section VI Note 2
• Provide a certificate of analysis to confirm the chemical identity and purity
• Verify if the end-use in pesticides requires registration under the Pest Control Products Act
