Last updated: April 2026 dataPhenoxyacetic acid herbicides such as 2,4-D (2918992010) and MCPA (2918992015), aromatic drug substances (2918993000), and odoriferous or flavoring compounds (2918993500) all share this heading, making it one of the more internally diverse residual categories in Chapter 29. Pesticide-classified lines are subject to EPA registration requirements for the active ingredient, while the aromatic drug line triggers FDA oversight. India and China together dominate US import supply, reflecting their roles as leading producers of both agrochemical and pharmaceutical intermediates.

2,4-D is a registered pesticide active ingredient under FIFRA. Importers must ensure the product is covered by a valid EPA pesticide registration, and shipments may be subject to EPA review at the port of entry. Labeling, tolerance, and registration status must be confirmed before importation; non-compliant shipments can be refused entry or detained. Consult a licensed customs broker and regulatory counsel familiar with EPA pesticide import requirements.
Line 2918993000 covers aromatic compounds that are themselves drug substances — finished or bulk active pharmaceutical ingredients — rather than chemical intermediates used in drug synthesis. This distinction affects FDA admissibility review: drug substances require the foreign manufacturer to be registered with FDA and comply with cGMP, whereas chemical intermediates not yet at drug-substance stage face a different regulatory pathway. The end-use and stage of manufacture are the key classification determinants.
