Rules in IndiaOK
- Not on the Indian banned-pesticide, drug-precursor, narcotic, psychotropic or new-drug lists we check.
- Normal factory, storage and GST rules still apply.
- Import policy (DGFT ITC(HS)) for tariff item 2905 59 00: Free, so no import licence is needed under trade policy.

- Export policy (DGFT ITC(HS)) for tariff item 2905 59 00: Free.
Global treaties & export marketsCHECK
- Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds is listed in Annex A of the Stockholm Convention: to be eliminated worldwide.
- India has not yet ratified this listing (India adopts new listings one by one), but most treaty countries are phasing it out: buyers abroad may refuse it, and other Indian rules may still apply.
- Its structure (a perfluoroheptyl group (C7F15) on carbon, which can break down to PFOA) falls under the Rotterdam Convention prior-consent entry “Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds”.
- Each importing country has said whether it accepts this chemical; an export must follow that decision. Check the country’s import response on pic.int before you ship.
- No EU REACH registration found: an EU importer (or your only representative) must register it before importing a tonne or more a year. Medicines and pesticide actives follow their own EU rules.
- Active on the US TSCA Inventory, so it can be imported into the US without a new-chemical notice.
- US TSCA: subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR): new uses need a notice to EPA first.
- Listed on the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (AICIS), so it can be introduced into Australia as an existing industrial chemical.
Import dutyOK
- About ₹27,730 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF).
- Made up of basic customs duty 7.5%, social welfare surcharge 0.75% and IGST 18%. IGST can usually be claimed back as input tax credit.
- Tariff item 2905 59 00: Halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of acyclic alcohols, other.
- No Indian tariff line names this chemical. The EU customs inventory (ECICS) classifies it under CN 2905 59 98, which is HS subheading 2905 59; India has one line under that subheading, so this is its line.
