Singapore NEA circular announces phase‑out/ban on manufacture, import and export of chlorpyrifos, MCCPs (≥45% Cl) and LC‑PFCAs effective 16 Dec 2026

Singapore’s National Environment Agency (NEA) issued an industry circular updating traders/declaring agents on the phase‑out of chlorpyrifos, MCCPs (C14–C17 with chlorination levels ≥45% chlorine by weight) and long‑chain PFCAs (C9–C21), their salts and related compounds under the Stockholm Convention. The circular states that effective 16 Dec 2026, manufacture, import and export of these chemicals and products containing them will not be allowed in Singapore, with allowance to deplete existing stocks imported before that date. The notice also flags import/export permit controls (subject to competent authority approval) and provides affected HS/product codes, creating actionable trade compliance and product stewardship impacts for companies supplying the Singapore market.
