Industrial Metaldehyde Pellets for Molluscicide Production from Germany
Pelletized metaldehyde at technical purity levels, specifically the cyclic polymer of four acetaldehyde units. HTS 2912.50.10.00 applies as it remains a separate chemically defined compound despite pelleting for handling. Used by formulators to create branded slug pellets.

Import Tips
• Pellet specifications must show metaldehyde as sole active; binders limited to <1% to preserve chemical classification
• Include stability data showing no degradation to acetaldehyde monomer during pelleting process
• EPA registration documents may be required even for technical material destined for US formulation
