Import Tips

• EPA registration required; provide pesticide product label and safety data sheets (SDS) with import documentation

• Ensure technical purity meets 95% minimum specification to avoid reclassification as mixtures under Chapter 38

• Verify compliance with FIFRA import requirements; common pitfall is missing experimental use permit for R&D quantities
