Providing clarity in the complex realm of North American Import/Export legislation
The United States' Toxic Substances Control Act, 1976 (TSCA) authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to secure information on all new and existing chemical substances, as well as to control any substances determined to cause unreasonable risk to public health or the environment. The EPA may issue a civil administrative complaint to any person or company who violates TSCA and may impose a civil penalty, including recovery of any economic benefit of non-compliance, in addition to requiring the correction of the violation. Penalties for violations of TSCA may reach $27,500 per violation (per day).
