Chemicals & EPA Products

Chemical imports into the United States trigger EPA oversight under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Every chemical substance must either appear on the TSCA Inventory or qualify for an exemption. We handle substantial volumes of paint, benzene-containing products, solvents, adhesives, and industrial chemical imports—ensuring every TSCA certification and EPA message set is filed correctly.

TSCA Compliance & Certification

Importers must certify that their chemical substances either comply with TSCA (positive certification) or are not subject to TSCA (negative certification). We integrate these certifications directly into our customs entry filings via EPA message sets in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), preventing holds and examinations.

Paint & Coatings Imports

We regularly clear large volumes of imported paints, primers, coatings, and related chemical products. These often involve multiple regulatory touchpoints—TSCA for chemical composition, DOT for hazmat transportation, and CPSC for consumer product safety when applicable. Proper HTS classification of paint products also matters significantly for duty rates.

Benzene & Hazardous Materials

Benzene and benzene-containing compounds require enhanced documentation including Safety Data Sheets (SDS), proper DOT hazmat shipping declarations, and specific TSCA certifications. We handle the precise classification and compliance documentation needed to move these products through customs without delay.

"We handle lots of paint and benzene imports. Chemical compliance isn't a side service for us—it's a core competency."
