The importer, AgroFresh Inc., attempted to import a shipment of unregistered product Harvista
1.3SC? into the United States. All pesticides are required to be registered with EPA before their entry
into the United States, unless certain exemptions are met, pursuant to Section 3 of FIFRA (see Section
17 of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C 136o(c)). The distribution of an unregistered pesticide, without an exemption, is
an unlawful act under FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(A), 7 U.S.C. 136j(a)(1)(A). The Harvista 1.3SC product
imported by AgroFresh Inc., is not registered with EPA and does not meet any exemption for lawful
entry. Therefore, this product cannot be allowed entry into the United States and should be denied
pursuant to Section 17(c) of FIFRA 7 U.S.C 136o(c).
