Global treaties & export marketsCHECK
- Not listed by the Stockholm Convention (persistent pollutants), the Rotterdam Convention (prior consent before export) or the Montreal Protocol (ozone layer).
- Registered under EU REACH, so EU importers can buy it under an existing registration.
- Not on the US TSCA Inventory: EPA needs a premanufacture notice before it can be imported, unless it is a pesticide, drug or food additive, which TSCA does not cover.
- 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 028-003-00-2). 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).
- Made up of basic customs duty 7.5%, social welfare surcharge 0.75% and IGST 18%. IGST can usually be claimed back as input tax credit.
- Tariff item 2841 90 00: Salts of oxometallic or peroxometallic acids, other.
- No Indian tariff line names this chemical. The EU customs inventory (ECICS) classifies it under CN 2841 90 70, which is HS subheading 2841 90; India has one line under that subheading, so this is its line.
