U.S. exports of insecticides (excluding subheading note 1 substances) (HS 380891) totaled $74.7M in August 2026.
Importers of Insecticides (Excluding Subheading Note 1 Substances) paid $3.5M in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 16.39% of the $21.2M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule. Insecticides (Excluding Subheading Note 1 Substances) imports of $21.2M in August 2026 ran 29% below the year-to-date monthly average of $29.6M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataInsecticides under heading 380891 encompass a broad range of formulated pest-control products — from mechanical fly ribbons to aromatic and inorganic compound-based formulations — that fall outside the specific substances reserved by Subheading Note 1 to Chapter 38. The US schedule breaks this heading into six tariff lines distinguishing products by chemical composition, including aromatic or modified-aromatic content and inorganic-substance content, each of which may carry different duty treatment. Several lines are subject to Section 301 tariffs for goods of Chinese origin, and imports from India and Mexico — the other leading suppliers — should be evaluated for antidumping or countervailing duty orders that may apply to specific active ingredients. EPA registration requirements under FIFRA govern the admissibility of pesticide products entering US commerce, and importers must ensure each formulation is registered or otherwise authorized before shipment.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which requires that all pesticide products imported for sale or distribution be registered with the EPA. CBP coordinates with EPA at the border, and unregistered or misbranded products are subject to refusal of admission.
The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading based on whether the product contains aromatic or modified-aromatic compounds, inorganic substances, or specific named chemical mixtures. Importers should obtain detailed formulation data — including active and inert ingredient identities — from the manufacturer to support accurate classification, since misclassification between lines can affect both duty liability and trade-remedy exposure.
