A San Diego man who pleaded guilty to federal charges related to unlawfully importing, selling and mailing an unregistered pesticide product from Japan marketed for its purported ability to kill airborne viruses like COVID-19 was sentenced Friday to eight months in prison.
Samir Haj, 47, admitted to selling the product despite lacking the proper registration, as required for pesticides in the United States, as well as falsely declaring the product’s value when importing it to the United States, resulting in an underpayment of customs duty of $33,919, prosecutors said.
