U.S. exports of pentachlorophenol (iso) (HS 290811) totaled $7K in December 2025, traded with 1 country.
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a chlorinated phenolic biocide historically used as a wood preservative and pesticide, now subject to significant regulatory restrictions in the US and internationally under the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants. Imports enter under a single 10-digit line (2908110000), and EPA registration and compliance requirements govern its use in the United States, making documentation of intended end-use critical at entry. India is the primary supplier of PCP to the US market. Importers should be aware that EPA may require additional permitting or end-use certification depending on the application.

Pentachlorophenol is a registered pesticide under FIFRA, and importers must ensure the product complies with EPA registration requirements. Because PCP is also listed as a persistent organic pollutant under the Stockholm Convention, additional documentation on intended use and disposal may be required. Consulting a licensed customs broker and EPA-registered pesticide counsel is strongly recommended.
India maintains active chemical manufacturing capacity for chlorinated phenolics, and domestic production of PCP has largely ceased in the US and much of Europe due to environmental regulations. This has concentrated global supply in a small number of producing countries, with India emerging as the primary source for US import demand.
