Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify EPA registration number on labels for all imported herbicide preparations to ensure compliance with FIFRA

• Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and product composition certificates to clear customs quickly

• Avoid repackaging bulk shipments into retail sizes post-import, as this changes classification from 3808.91
