Global treaties & export marketsOK

No treaty or export-market restriction found
  • Not listed by the Stockholm Convention (persistent pollutants), the Rotterdam Convention (prior consent before export) or the Montreal Protocol (ozone layer).
  • 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.
  • Listed on the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (AICIS), so it can be introduced into Australia as an existing industrial chemical.

Import dutyOK

About 27.73% of the import value (depends on the line)
  • About ₹27,730 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF). Some lines under this subheading pay a different rate.
  • The EU customs inventory (ECICS) classifies it under CN 2915 39 00, so its HS subheading is 2915 39.
  • India splits subheading 2915 39 into 11 lines: 2915 39 10 (Other › Benzyl acetate); 2915 39 20 (Other › Bornyl acetate and iso bornyl acetate); 2915 39 30 (Other › Linalyl acetate); 2915 39 40 (Other › Methyl acetate); 2915 39 50 (Other › Phenyl propyl acetate); 2915 39 60 (Other › Terpinyl acetate); and 5 more.
  • Basic customs duty 7.5% on 10 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" (2915 39 99).
  • Confirm the exact 8-digit line with your customs broker before you import.

SafetySTOP

Very hazardous: strict controls needed
  • Catches fire easily
  • Poisonous, even in small amounts
  • Irritates skin, eyes or breathing
  • Highly flammable liquid and vapor
  • Toxic if swallowed
  • Harmful in contact with skin
  • Causes serious eye irritation
  • Fatal if inhaled

Storage, transport & PESOOK

Flammable liquid: store away from heat and sparks
  • Flash point about 22.1 °C (CAMEO Chemicals).
  • It is not a hydrocarbon, so the Petroleum Rules do not class it; storage still follows the state fire service’s rules and the factory licence.
  • Ships as UN 2333 (Flammable Liquid Poison): dangerous-goods rules apply by road, sea (IMDG) and air (IATA), with labels, packaging and a transport document.
