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.

Regime China Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances (IECSC), administered by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE)
Jurisdiction People's Republic of China
Status Listed
Tonnage threshold No new-substance threshold. Hazardous Chemicals Operation Permit required

Classifications under this regime

  • On Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals at industrial-grade purity (verify against the most recent MEE Catalog before relying)
  • GB 6944-2012 transport: Class 8 PG II (UN 1807 corrosive)
  • NOT on Highly Toxic Chemicals Catalog
  • NOT on Easily-Made Drugs Catalog
  • GB/T 17519-2013 Chinese SDS standard
  • GACC HS code: 280910
  • IARC: Not classified

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • **Hazardous Chemicals Operation Permit required** at producer plus distributor sites (verify against the most recent MEE Catalog before relying)
  • **China VAT export rebate** rate per current inorganic chemicals chapter schedule (verify against the most recent MOF / GACC rebate notice before invoicing)
  • GB/T 17519 Chinese SDS required (Skin Corr. 1A + Eye Dam. 1 + violent water-reaction)
  • GB 6944 Class 8 PG II transport classification applies

Importer obligations

For Chinese-origin P2O5 exported abroad, no IECSC obligation falls on the foreign importer. Major Chinese producers: Yunnan Yuntianhua, Guizhou Kailin, Hubei Xingfa, Hubei Yihua, Wengfu Group.

Required documents

  • GACC export declaration HS 280910
  • GHS Chinese SDS per GB/T 17519
  • Hazardous Chemicals Operation Permit at producer + distributor sites
  • GB 6944-2012 Class 8 PG II transport documentation

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
