Last updated: August 2026 dataRetail-packaged and formulated insecticides — including sprays, granules, baits, and impregnated articles — must be registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) before importation; unregistered products are inadmissible regardless of tariff classification. The EPA registration number must appear on the label, and CBP coordinates with EPA at the port of entry to verify compliance. Formulation type (emulsifiable concentrate, wettable powder, ready-to-use aerosol) and active ingredient identity are the primary commercial distinctions that drive both regulatory review and end-market positioning.

CBP will refuse entry and may issue a Notice of Refusal of Admission. The importer must either re-export the shipment, destroy it under CBP supervision, or obtain an EPA import tolerance or exemption — a process that is rarely quick. Securing EPA registration before the first shipment is strongly advisable.
The key classification criterion is whether the product is 'put up for retail sale or as a preparation or article' — meaning it is formulated and packaged for end use. Bulk technical-grade active ingredients not yet formulated for retail are typically classified under chemical headings rather than this pesticide heading, regardless of concentration.
