Last updated: August 2026 dataMethyl bromide is a broad-spectrum fumigant used for soil treatment, commodity fumigation, and structural pest control, but its production and import are tightly restricted under the Montreal Protocol as an ozone-depleting substance. US imports are permitted only for quarantine and pre-shipment (QPS) uses or under critical-use exemptions granted by EPA, making regulatory compliance the central concern for any importer. Israel and India are the leading US suppliers under tariff line 2903610000, with China also contributing. EPA's Office of Atmospheric Programs administers the allowance system, and shipments must be accompanied by documentation confirming an approved use category.

US imports are permitted for quarantine and pre-shipment (QPS) applications — such as fumigating imported commodities at the border — and for critical-use exemptions approved by EPA under the Montreal Protocol framework. Purely agricultural soil-fumigation uses are no longer eligible for import allowances. Importers must hold valid EPA allowances and document the approved use category on entry.
EPA administers the consumption allowance system under the Clean Air Act's ozone-protection provisions. Importers must obtain and surrender allowances corresponding to the quantity imported and must declare the use category. USDA APHIS may also be involved if the fumigant is used for phytosanitary treatment of imported plant material at the border.
