compliant registration of your new chemical substances under TSCA.
The Imperative of New Chemical Registration
Mandatory EPA
Review
Before manufacturing or importing a "new chemical substance" (one not on the TSCA Inventory) into the U.S., a Pre-Manufacture Notification (PMN) must be submitted to the EPA.
Preventing
Costly Delays
Failure to properly notify the EPA can result in significant delays, hefty fines, and the prohibition ofyour product's entry into the U.S. market.
Strategic
Exemptions
Understanding and strategically utilizing exemptions like Low Volume Exemption (LVE) or Polymer Exemption can significantly reduce regulatory burden and time-to-market.
