Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 380852 when importing or exporting insecticides like DDT, specifically packaged for retail sale in quantities of 300 grams or less. For instance, a shipment of 250g DDT insecticide in a retail box falls under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 380891, which covers other insecticides that do not contain DDT. If your product contains different active ingredients or is packaged differently, you may need to consider that line instead.
