U.S. imports of insecticides (excluding subheading note 1 products) (HS 380891) totaled $31.5M in April 2026, traded with 32 countries.
Importers of Insecticides (Excluding Subheading Note 1 Products) paid $6.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 19% on $35.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFormulated insecticides that fall outside the Chapter 38 Subheading Note 1 exclusions are classified here, spanning a wide range of active-ingredient chemistries — from aromatic and modified-aromatic compounds (3808912501) to inorganic-substance-based products (3808913000) and mechanical trapping devices such as fly ribbons (3808911000). Mexico leads US imports under this heading, with India and China also significant sources, reflecting both proximity-driven supply chains and global generic-chemistry manufacturing. Goods from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin documentation and first-sale valuation particularly important for cost management. All formulations must carry a valid EPA FIFRA registration number on the label at the time of importation.

Fly ribbons are specifically enumerated at 10-digit line 3808911000 within heading 380891. They are treated as insecticide articles rather than mechanical devices because their pest-control function relies on an adhesive or chemical attractant, placing them squarely within Chapter 38's pesticide provisions rather than Chapter 84 or 39.
Importers must ensure each product bears a valid EPA registration number on its label and that the label language matches the EPA-approved master label. A Notice of Arrival (EPA Form 3540-1) is required for pesticide shipments. CBP may refer shipments to EPA for admissibility review, so having the registration certificate and a copy of the approved label readily available expedites clearance.
