EPA / TSCA U.S. Agent Services for Foreign Manufacturers

TSCA U.S. Agent Overview

Foreign manufacturers and processors that import chemical substances or mixtures into the United States may be required to designate a U.S. Agent under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

This requirement applies to companies that do not maintain a physical presence in the United States but engage in TSCA-regulated activities, including chemical importation, pre-manufacture notifications (PMNs), and reporting under EPA programs.

As your designated TSCA U.S. Agent, we serve as the official point of contact between your company and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

We provide reliable, secure U.S. Agent services—without offering legal advice, regulatory consulting, or product testing.

Scope of Service

Our TSCA / EPA U.S. Agent service covers EPA and TSCA regulatory correspondence and service of process only. Our address is registered with the EPA as your U.S. Agent and cannot be used for any other purpose.

Our address may not be used as:

A manufacturer, importer, or “Distributed by” address on chemical product labels, container labels, or Safety Data Sheets (40 CFR §720.45 — substance identity)
The U.S. importer of record under TSCA Section 13 or the importing-party address on EPA TSCA import certifications submitted via ACE (40 CFR Part 707, Subpart B)
The submitter or U.S. address on Pre-Manufacture Notifications, Significant New Use Notices, or Section 5 / Section 8 reports
A U.S. distributor, warehousing, or shipping address
A business mailing address for purposes unrelated to EPA / TSCA regulatory correspondence

What to do instead

For product labeling, importer-of-record designation under TSCA §13, PMN/SNUN submitter address, or U.S. chemical distribution, please engage a U.S.-based importer, distributor, 3PL partner, or regulatory consultant separately from your U.S. Agent designation.
