Import Tips
• Obtain EPA registration and import alerts for pesticide active ingredients; provide toxicity data and formulation details
• Ensure labeling complies with FIFRA and TSCA; include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for hazardous material classification
• Verify purity certificates to avoid reclassification as mixtures under Chapter 38; common pitfall is inadequate residue testing
