Heading 380869 captures insecticides and similar products that meet the specific chemical criteria of Subheading Note 2 to Chapter 38, while 380891 covers insecticides excluded from Subheading Note 1. The distinction turns on the chemical composition of the active ingredient and how it is defined in the chapter notes, so a precise reading of both notes — and often a binding ruling — is advisable before classifying a new formulation.
Yes. The EPA requires that all imported pesticide products be registered under FIFRA (Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act) before they may be sold or distributed in the US. CBP coordinates with EPA at entry; shipments lacking a valid registration number or bearing non-conforming labels can be refused admission or detained. Importers should verify registration status and label compliance before shipment.
