About HS Code 293154
HS code 293154 is dedicated to Trichlorfon (ISO), a well-known halogenated organo-phosphorous derivative. Trichlorfon is a broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide and anthelmintic, widely used in agriculture for crop protection, in veterinary medicine for treating parasitic infections in livestock, and historically in public health for pest control. Its effectiveness comes with significant toxicity, leading to varying regulatory statuses globally, with some countries restricting or banning its use. Importers include agrochemical distributors, veterinary pharmaceutical companies, and public health organizations. Exporters are typically chemical manufacturers specializing in agrochemicals and veterinary products. Key trade considerations include regulatory compliance, safety handling, and environmental impact assessments.
