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.
