Import Tips
• Requires EPA Establishment Registration Number on label and FIFRA Section 17 import certification
• Flash point testing mandatory for EC formulations; many shipments rejected for missing solvent composition
• Storage temperature ≤30°C required; thermal decomposition common pitfall during ocean transit
