Last updated: August 2026 dataAldrin, chlordane, and heptachlor are cyclodiene organochlorine insecticides listed under Annex A of the Stockholm Convention for elimination, meaning their production and use are banned except for narrowly defined exemptions such as termite control in structures where no technically feasible alternatives exist. Classified together under 2903820000, these compounds are rarely traded commercially; Switzerland, Canada, and India appear as suppliers, likely reflecting research-grade or reference-standard quantities rather than bulk pesticide trade. Any import into the US requires EPA review, and the extremely limited permissible end uses mean most shipments involve analytical or reference material.

EPA cancelled the registrations for aldrin, chlordane, and heptachlor decades ago. Imports are effectively limited to research quantities, certified reference standards for laboratory analysis, or material destined for disposal. Any commercial-scale import would require EPA authorization and would face significant regulatory scrutiny under both TSCA and the Stockholm Convention framework.
Because these substances are banned pesticides under both US law and the Stockholm Convention, CBP and EPA coordinate to screen entries. A shipment lacking clear documentation of a qualifying end use — such as an analytical reference standard certificate — is likely to be detained for EPA review. Brokers should ensure the commercial invoice and entry documents explicitly state the intended use and the importing entity's regulatory authorization.
