Manufacture of pesticides and other agrochemical products

Under MD 229 of 2025, manufacturing is a Qualifying Activity. Forensic audit focuses on the 'Substantial Transformation' test. If the process is deemed mere 'Distribution' of imported pesticides, the entity must be located in a Designated Zone and sell to specific classes of customers to maintain 0% status.

Audit Red Flag

Misclassification of 'simple assembly' or 'repackaging' as 'manufacturing' to claim 0% rate; FTA will verify if a 'substantial transformation' of raw chemical precursors occurred.
