Last updated: April 2026 dataSubheading note 1 to Chapter 38 defines a specific list of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and disinfectants that are classified within the 3808.5x range based on their chemical identity rather than their formulation or packaging. The US schedule breaks this residual group into four tariff lines — covering aromatic/modified aromatic pesticides (3808591000), disinfectants (3808594000), and other goods (3808590000 and 3808595000) — reflecting the aromatic-content distinction that drives duty treatment. Taiwan leads US import supply, followed by Mexico and China, which is subject to Section 301 tariffs. All pesticide products entering the US must be registered with EPA under FIFRA or qualify for an applicable exemption, and importers should verify registration status before shipment.

Importers must file an EPA Notice of Arrival (NOA) for pesticide shipments, and the product must be registered under FIFRA or covered by an exemption. CBP coordinates with EPA at the port of entry; shipments without a valid registration or proper NOA filing may be detained or refused admission. Consulting a licensed customs broker with pesticide import experience is strongly recommended.
The US schedule separates goods containing aromatic or modified aromatic chemical structures (3808591000) from other goods (3808595000) and disinfectants (3808594000). This distinction follows the Chapter 38 note on aromatic compounds and can affect the applicable duty rate. Importers should obtain a detailed chemical composition analysis from the manufacturer to confirm whether the active or carrier ingredients qualify as aromatic or modified aromatic under the relevant note.
