The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 8(a)(7) requires any imported article containing PFAS to be reported within the EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX) system. The EPA has released an interim final rule that will postpone the reporting start date. The new date is now April 13, 2026.
Under TSCA, any manufacturer importing a substance or article containing PFAS must report information to the EPA through the CDX system. Reporting under the original rule would have started in November 2025. However, this latest interim final rule is the second postponement of this start date. The new reporting start date is set as April 13, 2026. Reporting is required within six months of that date and runs through October 13, 2026. Manufacturers of imported articles that meet the definition of a small business will have until April 13, 2027, to report the required information.
The extension is provided to give more time for beta testing of the CDX and give time to distribute additional funds the EPA received to improve the IT infrastructure for the TSCA program.
