Import Tips

Obtain EPA registration number and include it on labeling for all imported disinfectants to avoid FDA or customs holds

Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and certificates of analysis confirming active ingredients meet subheading exclusions

Avoid misclassification as pesticides by verifying no listed insecticide substances; common pitfall is bulk packaging exceeding retail limits
