Acrylonitrile under AICIS

C3H3N · 丙烯腈

Status: Listed. Acrylonitrile is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) applies for industrial-grade above concentration cutoffs**. NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list. NO active Australian AD/CVD case. Australia has limited domestic acrylonitrile production; structurally net-importer for downstream ABS + acrylic fibre + NBR industries. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports.

AICIS treats acrylonitrile as a routine listed industrial chemical with **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) scheduling**. NO active Australian AD/CVD case. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty makes Chinese-origin acrylonitrile competitive. Australia has limited domestic production; structurally net-importer.

Listing and threshold

Substance Acrylonitrile (CAS 107-13-1), C3H3N
Regime Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS), administered by the Department of Health
Jurisdiction Australia
Status Listed
Tonnage threshold AICIS introducer registration required for any business introducing >100 kg/year of any industrial chemical

Classifications under this regime

  • Listed Industrial Chemical on AICIS Inventory
  • Australian GHS classification: full hazard profile matching REACH
  • Signal word: DANGER. GHS pictograms: GHS02 + GHS06 + GHS08 + GHS09
  • **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison)**
  • NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list
  • Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG 7.7): Class 3 + Class 6.1, UN 1093, PG I
  • Safe Work Australia workplace exposure standard: 2 ppm 8-hr TWA
  • **IARC: acrylonitrile re-evaluated in Monograph Volume 136 (2025); prior Volume 71 (1999) assessed acrylonitrile at Group 2B. Verify current Group classification against https://monographs.iarc.who.int/list-of-classifications/ before relying**

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • SUSMP Schedule 7 retail packaging rules apply
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin acrylonitrile currently
  • WHS Regulation 2011 hazardous-chemicals handling requirements apply
  • NFPA-equivalent toxic + flammable storage requirements apply for bulk
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies to Chinese-origin acrylonitrile (HS 292610)

Importer obligations

The Australian importer of record must be registered with AICIS. **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) compliance is the dominant practitioner overhead**. Australia has limited domestic acrylonitrile production; structurally net-importer.

Required documents

  • AICIS introducer registration certificate (annual)
  • WHS-compliant SDS
  • Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS code 292610
  • **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) labelling compliance**
  • ChAFTA Form CO certificate of origin
  • ADG 7.7 Class 3 + 6.1 dangerous-goods transport documentation

Common compliance traps

The pitfalls that have bitten importers on this lane in the past. None of these is theoretical.

  • AICIS registration must be CURRENT at customs clearance
  • **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison)**
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty makes Chinese-origin acrylonitrile competitive
