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
