Import Tips

• Obtain EPA registration and TSCA certification as pentachlorophenol is a regulated pesticide chemical under US environmental laws

• Provide detailed purity analysis and CAS number (87-86-5) documentation to verify classification as the pure ISO compound

• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no formulation with carriers that would shift to pesticide headings in Chapter 38
