Final Order No Penalty

Case summary

On February 20, Region 3 issued a Notice of Refusal of Admission (NORA) to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refuse admission of unregistered disinfectant pesticides imported through the Port of Wilmington, DE. It is a violation of FIFRA to sell or distribute unregistered pesticides. The importer must export the pesticide out of the country or destroy it according to state and local regulations, and must provide documentation to Region 3. The Delaware Department of Agriculture was copied on the NORA. This action supports the Powering the Great American Comeback initiative - Pillar 1: Clean Air, Land, and Water for Every American.
