Nearly all active ingredients covered by this heading — including DDT, chlordane, dieldrin, aldrin, and endosulfan — are listed under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), meaning their production, use, and trade are subject to strict international controls and, in most cases, outright prohibition or severe restriction in the United States. The single tariff line 3824840000 captures all such mixtures and preparations. Switzerland leads US import supply for this heading, followed by Canada and Mexico, a pattern that likely reflects research-grade, reference-standard, or legacy-use formulations rather than commercial pesticide trade. Importers must coordinate with the EPA under TSCA and FIFRA before attempting entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Commercial import for pesticidal use is effectively prohibited under FIFRA and EPA regulations. Limited quantities may be permissible for laboratory, research, or reference-standard purposes, but any such import requires prior EPA authorization. Importers should consult a licensed customs broker and EPA counsel before attempting entry.
Switzerland hosts major specialty chemical and analytical-standards manufacturers that produce certified reference materials and research-grade formulations of legacy pesticides. These are used for environmental testing, regulatory compliance monitoring, and laboratory calibration rather than agricultural application.
