Illinois Pesticide Product Registration Renewal: How USA Pesticide Registration Can Simplify the Process

For pesticide manufacturers and distributors looking to sell in Illinois, staying on top of the state’s biennial pesticide product registration is crucial to maintaining market access. The Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) requires that all pesticide products making a pesticidal claim be registered with the state every two years, with renewals due by December 31 of the registration period. Missing the deadline can lead to hefty fines and disruption of your product’s availability in the Illinois market.

What Is Required for Renewal?

To maintain compliance with the Illinois Pesticide Act, you must:

• Complete and submit the renewal application form along with updated product labels.

• Pay a registration fee of $1,000 per company and $800 per product for the two-year period, effective January 1, 2024.

• Ensure that your product has a valid U.S. EPA registration number listed on all labels.

Failure to submit renewals by January 31, 2024, will result in a $100 late fee per product. Moreover, Illinois does not have a discontinuance policy; a product remains either "active" or "cancelled" on the state registry, which means any unrenewed product will no longer be authorized for sale​ (AGR) (AGR).

The Consequences of Missing Renewal Deadlines

Late or missed renewals can lead to:

• Costly fines and late fees.

• Potential loss of sales if your products are removed from the Illinois market.

• The need to reapply for registration, delaying your ability to sell.

Managing renewals for multiple products across different states can be an administrative burden, especially when balancing varying fees and submission deadlines.
