Import Tips

Verify EPA registration and provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for pesticide imports under FIFRA regulations

Include certificate of analysis confirming purity as a zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate to avoid reclassification

Check for REACH compliance if transshipping from EU; common pitfall is missing anti-dumping duties on certain agrochemicals
