## Summary

On February 2, Region 3 issued a Notice of Refusal of Admission (NORA) to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refuse admission of a misbranded pesticide imported through Port of Chester, PA. It is a violation of FIFRA to sell or distribute misbranded 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 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.
