Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 380859 when importing insecticides or fungicides that do not contain DDT, like clofenotane, and are packaged for retail sale. For example, a shipment of ready-to-use insect sprays in consumer-friendly bottles falls under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 3808XX, which includes other insecticides and fungicides that may contain different active ingredients or are not specifically packaged for retail. If your product is a bulk pesticide or a different formulation, you might need to look at those alternatives.
The HS-6 380859 line specifically covers insecticides and fungicides containing substances listed in Subheading Note 1, excluding DDT. These products are typically sold in small quantities for home use, such as garden pest control solutions.
When classifying your product, consider whether it is intended for retail sale and if it contains the specified active ingredients. This can affect your compliance with regulations and tariffs.
