AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The Rotterdam Convention's Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedure requires that exporting countries formally notify the importing country's designated national authority before shipping listed hazardous chemicals. Both captafol and methamidophos are on the PIC list. US importers must ensure the exporting country has complied with PIC notification requirements and should coordinate with EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs to confirm admissibility before arranging shipment.
Aldicarb's US registration has been significantly restricted by EPA; it was cancelled for most uses and is now permitted only for a narrow set of applications under specific conditions. Importing aldicarb for any use not covered by a current EPA registration would constitute a FIFRA violation. Importers should obtain written confirmation of the applicable EPA registration before any shipment is arranged.
