Fluoroacetamide, Monocrotophos, and Phosphamidon

The Rotterdam Convention's Prior Informed Consent procedure requires that exporting countries formally notify the importing country's designated national authority before shipping listed hazardous chemicals. Monocrotophos is a PIC-listed substance, so US importers should confirm that the exporting country has fulfilled its PIC notification obligations and that the import is consistent with any US response communicated under the Convention.

Research or laboratory quantities may be eligible for import under TSCA research exemptions or EPA experimental use permits, but fluoroacetamide's extreme acute toxicity means it is subject to heightened scrutiny. Importers should consult with EPA and, where applicable, the relevant state environmental agency before attempting entry, as misclassification of intended use can trigger enforcement action.
