Summary

The quantity of Alcohol Wipes is 1512 containers of 36 pieces, totaling 54,432 packages of wipes and 13,820 kilograms. The distribution of an unregistered pesticide is an unlawful act under FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(A), 7 U.S.C. Section 136j(a)(1)(A). The Alcohol Wipes had no EPA registration number, nor an EPA establishment number. These Alcohol Wipes are not registered with EPA and do not meet an exemption for lawful entry. Therefore, this product cannot be allowed entry into the United States. Additionally, the Alcohol Wipes did not bear an EPA establishment number and it is unlawful for a producer to produce a pesticide in an unregistered establishment pursuant to Section 12(a)(2)(L) of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. Section 136j(a)(2)(L). Finally, the Notice of Arrival of Pesticides and Devices was not filed on EPA Form 3540-1 for any entry in accordance with 19 C.F.R. Section 12.112. Failure to file a report required by the Act is a violation of FIFRA Section 12(a)(2)(N), 7 U.S.C. Section 136(j)(a)(2)(N).
