Tolerances are established for residues of the insecticide imidacloprid, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table below.

Time-limited tolerances are established for residues of the insecticide imidacloprid, including its metabolites and degradates in connection with use of the pesticide under a Section 18 emergency exemption granted by EPA. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only the sum of imidacloprid (1-[6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine) and its metabolites containing the 6-chloropyridinyl moiety, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of imidacloprid. These tolerances will expire and are revoked on the dates specified in the following table:\nCommodity Parts per million Expiration/revocation date\nSugarcane, cane 6.0 12/31/18\nSugarcane, molasses 50 12/31/18\n(c) Tolerances with regional registrations. [Reserved]\n(d) Indirect or inadvertent residues. Tolerances are established for indirect or inadvertent residues of the insecticide imidacloprid, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table below. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only the sum of imidacloprid (1-[6-chloro-3-pyridinyl) methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine) and its metabolites containing the 6-chloropyridinyl moiety, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of imidacloprid, in or on the following commodities, when present therein as a result of the application of the pesticide to growing crops listed in this section and other non-food crops as follows:\nCommodity Parts per million\nRice, grain 0.05\nVegetable, foliage of legume, group 7 2.5\nVegetable, legume, group 6 0.3","path":["Title 40—Protection of Environment","CHAPTER I—ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","SUBCHAPTER E—PESTICIDE PROGRAMS","PART 180—TOLERANCES AND EXEMPTIONS FOR PESTICIDE CHEMICAL RESIDUES IN FOOD","Subpart C—Specific Tolerances"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-40.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:04Z","sha256":"4b667e64dae442bc0e6be83477e09c134f592c7baf1c9ba24de52959ac6eb385","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/40-cfr-180.471","next":"us/40-cfr-180.473"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
