Import Tips

Obtain EPA registration and provide technical data sheets confirming 95%+ purity as trifluralin to avoid reclassification as mixtures under Chapter 38

Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Certificate of Analysis (CoA) documenting chemical identity per Chapter 29 note (a); ensure proper UN 3345 hazard labeling

Verify importer has pesticide storage permits; common pitfall is failing to declare as 'technical grade' leading to higher duties under formulated headings
