The original developer of Brodifacoum in China
- “Since the emergence of the rodenticide ‘Talon’ in 1978, there have been various names, codes, and formulations, but there have been no reports of registered production in China. The Siyang Rodenticide Factory was the first to register Brodifacoum production, and has simultaneously registered three varieties: brodifacoum Technical material, technical Concentrate liquid, and poison bait, to meet the needs of urban and rural rodent control, particularly the 0.005% brodifacoum poison bait, which can be used directly, filling the market gap for unregistered rodenticide poison baits and enriching the standard rodenticide poison bait products, thereby reversing the situation of the widespread use of rapid acute toxic raticides and ensuring the needs of rodent control, disease prevention, and plant protection work.”

https://www.rodenticide.com.cn/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/brodifacoum-literature.pdf - In 1997, China promulgated its first “Pesticide Management Regulations” (Decree No. 216 of the State Council).
- In 1998, the Siyang Rodenticide Factory registered the following three Brodifacoum products with the Ministry of Agriculture: MOA Reg. No. LS981282 (Brodifacoum 95% TC), Reg. No. LS981283 (Brodifacoum 0.5% TK), and Reg. No. LS981284 (Brodifacoum 0.005% RB).
- Since 2007, with the implementation of the national standard for Brodifacoum, the temporary registration code “LS” has been changed to the formal “PD” code: MOA’s Reg. No. PD20070323 (Brodifacoum 98% TC), Reg.No. PD20081101 (Brodifacoum 0.5% TK), and Reg. No. PD20081102 (Brodifacoum 0.005% RB).
Siyang Rodenticide Factory is the only legal exporter of Hypertoxic chemical “Technical Brodifacoum” in China, with a “Hazardous Chemicals License” issued by MEM.
Customs and Maritime supervision of the export of the hazardous substance Brodifacoum
Brodifacoum, as a hazardous chemical, requires certification of hazard classification with reference to UN TDG for export from China. The technical material is certified as “UN3027, Class 6.1, PG: (I); UN Proper Shipping Name: Coumarin derivative Pesticides, Solid, Toxic.” It is a mandatory GAC inspection (formerly CIQ) for export from China according to the regulations.
In 2015, the General Office of SAWS issued the “Implementation Guidelines for the List of Hazardous Chemicals (Trial) (2015 Edition)” and attached the table of “Hazards Classification Information” for the List: #2314, Brodifacoum, Hazard Category: “Acute toxicity – Oral, Category 2*; Acute toxicity – Dermal, Category 1; Acute toxicity – Inhalation, Category 1; Specific target organ toxicity – repeated exposure ‘STOT RE’, Category 1; Hazardous to the aquatic environment, short-term (Acute) ‘Aquatic Acute’- Category Acute 1, Hazardous to the aquatic environment, long-term (Chronic) ‘Aquatic Chronic’ – Category Chronic 1” and labled “Hypertoxic.”
On July 24, 2024, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) and the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) released the first part of the GB 30000 series, titled “Classification for Labeling of Chemicals Part 1: General Rules” (GB 30000.1-2024). This revision marks the second major update since the series was first published in 1992. The technically consistent with the United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) (Eighth Revision) and will take effect on August 1, 2025.
Joint regulation of the export of the pesticide Brodifacoum TC by MARA and GAC
Brodifacoum, as a commodity pesticide, export from China is subject to ICAMA legal approval and the issuance of a release order.
The latest version of the “Catalogue of the People’s Republic of China for the Administration of the Import and Export of Pesticides” for 2022 was published as an annex to the “Joint Announcement No. 416 of GAC and MARA.” This directory is commonly referred to as the “China Export Pesticides Customs Codes.” The tariff code for pesticide export code #645 Brodifacoum is 2932209011, and this code remain unchanged from the previous version.
In China, industrial Brodifacoum (pure, technical) mainly regulated by the Ministry of Public Security
Technical Brodifacoum has been classified by WHO in class Ia – “Extremely Hazardous,” based on acute oral LD50 of 0.3 mg/kg for rats.
In EU, it is classified as Class I (very toxic) under EU Directive 67/548/EEC (now the CLP Regulation, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
In China, according to the “China Directory of Hypertoxic Chemicals (2015 edition),” (LD50≤5 mg/kg (rat oral)), Brodifacoum is classified as “Hypertoxic” (Chinese characters: 剧毒, Mandarin: jù dú, meaning Extremely Toxic) chemical under the highest control level by the Ministry of Public Security’s “Measures for the Administration of Permits for the Purchase and Road Transportation of Hypertoxic Chemicals” issued in 2005 and the MPS standard GA 1002-2012, the “Public Safety Protection Requirements for Storage Facilities of Hypertoxic Chemicals and Radioactive Sources” issued in 2012.
Compliant export procedures for Brodifacoum TC in China
- Since obtaining export qualifications in 2006, Siyang Rodenticide Factory has been the only exporter of Brodifacoum TC in China that complies with all regulations.
- Currently, the legal procedures for compliant export are as follows (four certifications):
✔ (1) “Certification of Hazardous Classification and Identification” – (Valid for the current year).
The classification of hazardous chemical “Brodifacoum TC 98%” will be certified as “UN 3027, Class:6.1, PG: I,” with shipping name “Coumarin Derivative Pesticides, Solid, Toxic” with reference to “UN TDG Regulation” (United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods – UN Model Regulations, Rev. 23 (2023)).
