Importers of Rodenticides & Similar Pest-Control Products (Retail & Prepared Forms, NESOI) paid $850K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $5.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataRodenticides and analogous pest-control articles put up for retail sale or as preparations — including biocide formulations based on 2-methyl-4-isothiazoline (3808993000) and aromatic-pesticide-containing products (3808990800) — are classified here when not covered by earlier headings. Mexico and Canada lead US supply, with the United Kingdom, China, and Germany also contributing, a supplier profile that spans both proximity-driven consumer-product sourcing and specialty chemistry from European manufacturers. All rodenticide products must be registered with EPA under FIFRA, and the retail packaging must display the EPA registration number and comply with signal-word labeling requirements. Importers should confirm that the specific formulation and pack size match the registered label before shipment.

The heading requires that products be put up in forms or packings for retail sale, or presented as preparations or articles. Bulk active ingredients not yet formulated or packaged for end-use sale would typically classify elsewhere in Chapter 38 or in Chapter 29. If a shipment arrives in bulk drums intended for further formulation, it should be reviewed against the relevant active-ingredient headings rather than 380899.
Line 3808990400 covers mixtures of 1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethane — commonly known as DDT. DDT is banned for use in the United States under EPA authority and is listed under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. Importation of DDT-containing products is effectively prohibited for commercial use; any shipment attempting entry under this line would face EPA admissibility review and almost certain refusal. The line's existence in the tariff schedule reflects historical classification continuity rather than current commercial activity.
