Pronamide Technical Grade from China

Pronamide, chemically known as 3,5-Dichloro-N-(1,1-dimethyl-2-propynyl)-benzamide, is a technical grade herbicide used primarily for pre-emergent control of grasses and broadleaf weeds in turf and certain crops. It falls under HTS 2924.29.28.00 as a specifically named aromatic cyclic amide-function compound of carbonic acid. This pure chemical form is imported for formulation into end-use pesticide products.

Import Tips

Provide EPA registration documents and purity certificates (typically >95%) to verify technical grade status and avoid reclassification as formulated product

Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) detailing aromatic amide structure to confirm classification under Chapter 29 organic compounds

Ensure packaging meets UN hazardous materials standards for pesticide imports to prevent customs delays
