- The buyer’s country may still have its own import rules.
Global treaties & export marketsOK

- 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.
Import dutyOK
- About ₹27,730 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF).
- The EU customs inventory (ECICS) classifies it under CN 2811 19 80, so its HS subheading is 2811 19.
- India splits subheading 2811 19 into 4 lines: 2811 19 20 (Other › Hypophosphorus acid (phosphinic acid)); 2811 19 30 (Other › Acids of arsenic); 2811 19 40 (Other › Sulphonic acid); 2811 19 90 (Other › Other).
- 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" (2811 19 90).
- Confirm the exact 8-digit line with your customs broker before you import.
