EPA v. PROVENTUS BIOSCIENCE

Final Order No Penalty

Case summary

On April 23, 2026, Region 3 issued a Notice of Refusal of Admission (NORA) to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection recommending refusal of admission for misbranded pesticides imported through the Port of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The pesticides were being imported for research and development purposes, and the labels did not contain complete and correct information as required by FIFRA. It is a violation of FIFRA to sell or distribute misbranded pesticides and pesticide devices within the USA. The importer must either export the pesticides out of the country or have them destroyed according to state and local regulations and provide documentation of the final action to Region 3. The Pennsylvania 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.?
