U.S. exports of insecticides specified in chapter 38 subheading note 2 — packings 300 g to 7.5 kg (HS 380862) totaled $1.3M in June 2026, traded with 1 country.
Mid-range packings of insecticides covered by Chapter 38 subheading note 2 — those with a net weight exceeding 300 grams but not exceeding 7.5 kilograms — are classified under two US tariff lines (3808620000 and 3808621000), with the split again driven by aromatic or modified aromatic chemical content. Brazil leads US import supply, with India also a notable source. This pack-size bracket typically corresponds to professional-use or semi-commercial formulations rather than consumer retail, and importers should confirm that product labeling and EPA registration cover the intended end-use channel. Correct pack-size classification is essential, as the 300-gram lower bound and 7.5-kilogram upper bound are hard thresholds that determine which subheading applies.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The subheading covers packings exceeding 300 grams but not exceeding 7.5 kilograms, so a container with a net weight of exactly 7.5 kilograms falls within 380862. Containers with a net weight above 7.5 kilograms would be classified under a different subheading. Importers should verify the precise net weight per container as declared on the manufacturer's label, not the gross shipping weight.
USDA APHIS jurisdiction generally applies to live organisms, plants, and biological control agents rather than conventional chemical insecticides. Standard chemical insecticides in this subheading are primarily regulated by EPA under FIFRA. However, if the product contains any biological or microbial active ingredient, APHIS review may also be triggered, and importers should confirm the regulatory pathway with both agencies before shipment.
