Phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) under IECSC
P2O5 (P4O10) · 五氧化二磷
Status: Listed. Phosphorus pentoxide is on the IECSC public portion. **On China's Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals at industrial-grade purity** (verify the specific entry against the most recent MEE Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals before relying); GB 6944 Class 8 PG II transport status applies. NOT on Highly Toxic Chemicals Catalog. NOT on Easily-Made Drugs Catalog. **China VAT export rebate** for P2O5 (HS 280910) per current inorganic chemicals chapter rebate schedule (verify the rate against the most recent MOF / GACC rebate notice before invoicing). Major Chinese P2O5 producers (typically integrated with phosphorus electric-arc operations): Yunnan Yuntianhua, Guizhou Kailin Phosphate, Hubei Xingfa Group, Hubei Yihua, Wengfu Group; verify each producer-site pair against the producer's public website before relying on a specific plant. **Hazardous Chemicals Operation Permit required** at producer plus distributor sites.
Phosphorus pentoxide is comfortably IECSC-listed but **on Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals at industrial-grade purity** (Hazardous Chemicals Operation Permit required at producer + distributor sites). NOT on Highly Toxic, NOT on Easily-Made Drugs. **China VAT export rebate** rate per current schedule (verify before invoicing). Major Chinese producers integrated with phosphorus electric-arc operations.

Common compliance traps
The pitfalls that have bitten importers on this lane in the past. None of these is theoretical.
- On Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals at industrial-grade purity
- **Hazardous Chemicals Operation Permit required** at producer + distributor sites
- **China VAT export rebate** rate (verify against the most recent MOF / GACC rebate notice before invoicing)
- NOT on Highly Toxic, NOT on Easily-Made Drugs
- Major Chinese producers (P electric-arc captive): Yunnan Yuntianhua, Guizhou Kailin, Hubei Xingfa, Hubei Yihua, Wengfu Group (verify each producer-site pair)
- **Drying / dehydrating agent + chemical synthesis + glass / ceramic flux + fire-retardant downstream chains** dominate Chinese consumption

Glossary
IECSC, Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances in China
The Chinese national chemical inventory listing substances legally manufactured, imported, used, or sold in China before 2003. A substance not on IECSC requires a New Chemical Substance Notification (NCSN) under MEE Order 12 before it can be manufactured or imported into China. Functionally similar to TSCA in the US and REACH in the EU but with distinct procedural requirements.
