Import Tips & Compliance

• Submit EPA Product Label Review and import notification at least 90 days prior; include LC50 toxicity data for aquatic species

• Use child-resistant packaging and include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) translated into English for Customs clearance

• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling purity—ensure COA shows terbufos ≥97% w/w to prevent duty reassessment
