FAQ

Common 25(b) questions

Do I need federal EPA registration for a 25(b) product?

Not if the product meets all conditions of the federal minimum risk exemption under FIFRA. Qualifying products are exempt from federal pesticide registration. However, the exemption applies at the federal level. States can still impose their own registration and compliance requirements.

Which states require a 25(b) filing?

State requirements are separate from the federal exemption and vary by state. A state may require registration, notification, fees, labeling requirements, or other compliance steps before a minimum risk product can be sold. We assess the requirements across your intended sales states and manage the applicable filings.

Can I sell a 25(b) product in every state without registering it?

No. Federal 25(b) exemption does not automatically authorize sale in every state. Each state has its own pesticide laws and is not required to permit the sale of a federally exempt product simply because it meets the federal minimum risk exemption. State requirements should be checked before selling or distributing the product.
