Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Obtain EPA registration and TSCA certification as pentachlorophenol is a regulated pesticide chemical under US environmental laws
β’ Provide detailed purity analysis and CAS number (87-86-5) documentation to verify classification as the pure ISO compound
β’ Avoid misclassification by ensuring no formulation with carriers that would shift to pesticide headings in Chapter 38
