Regulatory Alert - 2026

Is Your Supply Chain Hiding a $50,000/Day Liability?

The EPA is cracking down on phthalate imports. Most US importers don't know if their products comply. We find out before the EPA does - with a fixed-price audit delivered in 10 business days.

The Risks of Non-Compliance Are Real

EPA enforcement of TSCA chemical regulations has intensified. Here's what US importers are facing.

TSCA Penalties

Up to $50,000/Day Per Violation

The EPA can assess civil penalties of up to $50,000 per day for each TSCA violation. Penalties compound across multiple products and multiple days of non-compliance.

Shipment Detention

CBP Can Stop Your Imports at the Border

US Customs and Border Protection has authority to detain and refuse entry of non-compliant chemical imports. A single detained shipment can cost more than a full compliance audit.

Product Recalls

CPSC Can Force Recalls of Consumer Products

For products intended for children under 12, the CPSC enforces strict phthalate limits. Forced recalls carry enormous financial and reputational costs - often far exceeding the cost of early compliance.

What's Included in Our Audit

Every ChemComply audit is a comprehensive, expert-reviewed analysis of your specific product line.

Frequently Asked Questions

We screen for all 5 EPA-regulated phthalates: BBP (benzyl butyl phthalate, 85-68-7), DBP (dibutyl phthalate, 84-74-2), DCHP (dicyclohexyl phthalate, 84-61-7), DEHP (di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, 117-81-7), and DIBP (diisobutyl phthalate, 84-69-5). Full audits also cover PFAS compounds and heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium).

Standard audits (Starter and Full tiers) are delivered in 7-10 business days from receipt of all required documents. Enterprise tier includes priority processing with a 7-business-day guarantee.

Yes. SDS quality varies enormously, especially from overseas suppliers. Many SDS documents are incomplete, use outdated formats, or fail to disclose all chemical components at levels that would trigger TSCA reporting requirements. Our review catches what self-review often misses.

Your report includes a prioritized remediation plan for every issue found. We tell you exactly what needs to change, in what order, and what documentation is required. We can also provide follow-up consultation to help implement the recommendations.

Yes. Full and Enterprise tier clients can add monthly monitoring plans ($500-1,000/mo). We track regulatory changes, alert you to new requirements that affect your product lines, and review new supplier SDS documents as they come in.
