BPA is listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory, and importers may be subject to TSCA Section 13 certification requirements at entry. EPA has also conducted risk evaluations under TSCA Section 6 for BPA, so importers should track any resulting use restrictions or reporting rules that may affect their specific downstream applications.
South Korea's large integrated petrochemical producers have established South Korea as the primary BPA source for US buyers, offering scale and consistent quality. However, concentration in a single origin creates exposure to shipping disruptions and potential trade-remedy actions, prompting some buyers to qualify Taiwanese or Japanese suppliers as secondary sources.
