Last updated: May 2026 dataChlordecone — also known by the trade name Kepone — is a persistent organochlorine pesticide classified under 2914710000 as a halogenated derivative of a ketone. It is a Stockholm Convention persistent organic pollutant (POP) and is banned or severely restricted in most jurisdictions, making legitimate commercial import into the United States effectively nonexistent under normal trade channels. Any movement of this substance across US borders would be subject to EPA review under TSCA and potentially FIFRA, and traders encountering it in a shipment should treat it as a potential compliance and environmental liability issue.

Chlordecone is listed under the Stockholm Convention as a persistent organic pollutant and is subject to strict controls under US EPA regulations including TSCA. There is no recognized commercial import use; any shipment containing chlordecone should be flagged immediately for EPA and CBP review, as importation without proper authorization would constitute a serious regulatory violation.
The HS nomenclature specifically enumerates chlordecone at the 6-digit level (291471) because of its international regulatory significance as a banned POP under the Stockholm Convention. Dedicated enumeration facilitates customs monitoring and enforcement across member countries, consistent with treaty obligations to track and control trade in listed substances.
