- Registered under EU REACH, so EU importers can buy it under an existing registration.
- Active on the US TSCA Inventory, so it can be imported into the US without a new-chemical notice.
- Listed on the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (AICIS), so it can be introduced into Australia as an existing industrial chemical.
- EU: harmonised classification (CLP Annex VI, index 602-061-00-4): Press. Gas, Acute Tox. 4, STOT SE 3. Suppliers in the EU must label it this way.
Import dutyOK
- About ₹27,730 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF).
- The EU customs inventory (ECICS) classifies it under CN 2903 59 00, so its HS subheading is 2903 59.

- Basic customs duty 7.5% on every one of them; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
- Lines that name a chemical are for that chemical; one that no line names goes under "Other" (2903 59 90).
