- Its structure (a perfluoroheptyl group (C7F15) on carbon, which can break down to PFOA) fits the Stockholm Convention listing “Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds” (Annex A): 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.
