Import Tips

• Verify the hydrogen peroxide concentration and ensure the product label explicitly states its use for surface disinfection to meet HTS 3808.94.5050 criteria

• Obtain EPA registration number and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) as required for disinfectant imports; improper documentation can lead to customs holds

• Avoid misclassification as a general cleaning agent; confirm no other active pesticidal ingredients to prevent shifting to insecticide subheadings
