Carbon black under AICIS
C (amorphous) · 炭黑
Status: Listed. Carbon black is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **NOT typically scheduled under SUSMP / Poisons Standard** at retail-grade (verify against the current SUSMP / Poisons Standard before relying). NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list. NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin carbon black. Australia has no domestic carbon-black production; structurally net-importer for Australian tire / rubber / plastics / printing-ink sectors. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports. IARC Group 2B since Volume 93 (2010).
AICIS treats carbon black as a routine listed industrial chemical with low hazard profile beyond respirable dust handling and IARC Group 2B since Volume 93 (2010). NO active Australian AD/CVD case. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty. Australia no domestic carbon-black production; structurally net-importer.
Listing and threshold
| Substance | Carbon black (CAS 1333-86-4), C (amorphous) |
|---|---|
| Regime | Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS), administered by the Department of Health |
| Jurisdiction | Australia |
| Status | Listed |
| Tonnage threshold | AICIS introducer registration required for >100 kg/year |
Classifications under this regime
- Listed Industrial Chemical on AICIS Inventory
- Australian GHS classification: typically NOT classified as hazardous beyond particulate dust
- NOT typically scheduled under SUSMP / Poisons Standard at retail-grade (verify against the current SUSMP / Poisons Standard at https://www.tga.gov.au/products/scheduling-poisons-standard before relying)
- NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list
- ADG 7.7: NOT regulated for properly conditioned commercial-grade; UN 1361 Class 4.2 where freshly-produced
- Safe Work Australia: WES for inspirable / respirable particulate dust applies (verify against the current Safe Work Australia Workplace Exposure Standards at https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/exposure-standards before relying on specific limit)
- **IARC Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) since Volume 93 (2010)** (verify against monographs.iarc.who.int Volume 93)
Restrictions and conditions of use
- NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese carbon black currently
- WHS Regulation 2011 (with respirable particulate dust handling)
- ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies (HS 280300)
Importer obligations
AICIS registration required. Australia has no domestic carbon-black production; structurally net-importer.
Required documents
- AICIS registration certificate (annual)
- WHS-compliant SDS (with respirable particulate dust handling notes)
- Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS 280300
- ChAFTA Form CO
- ADG 7.7 documentation for UN 1361 Class 4.2 where freshly-produced
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
- NOT typically scheduled under SUSMP / Poisons Standard
- NO active Australian AD/CVD case
- ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies
- **IARC Group 2B since Volume 93 (2010)**
- Australia no domestic carbon-black production; structurally net-importer
- Safe Work Australia respirable particulate dust WES applies (verify limit before relying)
