Being phased out worldwide
  • 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.
  • 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.
