Mirex is a polychlorinated organochlorine compound listed under Annex A of the Stockholm Convention for global elimination; it was used historically as a fire ant pesticide and flame retardant but is now banned in virtually all jurisdictions. Classified under 2903830000, commercial trade is essentially nonexistent, with any imports confined to research-grade or reference-standard quantities. The absence of reported top supplier countries in trade data reflects the near-total elimination of legitimate commercial flows for this substance.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Legitimate imports are essentially limited to certified analytical reference standards used in environmental monitoring laboratories to detect mirex residues in soil, water, or biological samples. Any such import should be accompanied by documentation from the supplier confirming the material is a reference standard and specifying the quantity, which will typically be measured in milligrams rather than kilograms.
As an Annex A listed substance, mirex is subject to elimination obligations, and exporting parties to the Convention must apply prior informed consent procedures. At US entry, CBP may refer the shipment to EPA for review under TSCA authority. Importers should obtain an EPA import determination in advance and ensure all entry documents clearly identify the substance by CAS number and intended use.
