- 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.
- EU: harmonised classification as a carcinogen category 1A (CLP Annex VI, index 603-075-00-3). It may not be sold to the general public in the EU as such or in mixtures above the limit (REACH Annex XVII, entries 28-30), and its use at work must be minimised.
Import dutyOK
- About ₹27,730 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF).

- 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" (2909 19 90).
