Iodine (I2) under AICIS

I2 · 碘

Status: Listed. Iodine is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **SUSMP / Poisons Standard scheduling applies** with concentration-based scheduling typically Schedule 5 / Schedule 6 (verify exact schedule + concentration threshold against the current SUSMP / Poisons Standard before relying). **Drug Precursor under End User Declaration scheme (Crimes Legislation Amendment (Drug Precursors) Act 2008) administered by Department of Home Affairs** (verify exact category + concentration threshold against https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/ before invoicing). NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin iodine; Australia is structurally a net-importer (verify against current Anti-Dumping Commission case list at https://www.industry.gov.au/anti-dumping-commission before relying). ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports. **APVMA registers iodine + povidone-iodine as veterinary disinfection / udder-wash pesticide active** (verify current APVMA approval status against https://apvma.gov.au/ before relying). **TGA registers iodine + povidone-iodine as therapeutic disinfectant + Lugol's solution + iodine tincture** (verify against https://www.tga.gov.au/).

AICIS treats iodine as a Listed Industrial Chemical with **SUSMP / Poisons Standard concentration-based scheduling + Drug Precursor End User Declaration overlay (Crimes (Drug Precursors) Act 2008, Department of Home Affairs)**. NO active Australian AD/CVD; Australia is structurally a net-importer. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty. **APVMA veterinary disinfection + TGA therapeutic disinfectant (Lugol's + iodine tincture + povidone-iodine)**. ADG UN 3495 Class 8 PG III. **The EUD overlay is the practical import-screening pivot for any Australian-bound iodine consignment.**

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • **SUSMP / Poisons Standard concentration-based scheduling (verify exact schedule)**
  • **Drug Precursor End User Declaration required (Department of Home Affairs)** (verify against https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/)
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin iodine; Australia is structurally a net-importer
  • WHS Regulation 2011 (mid hazard handling)
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies (HS 280120)

  • **TGA therapeutic disinfectant**

Importer obligations

AICIS registration required. **End User Declaration required under Crimes (Drug Precursors) Act 2008 administered by Department of Home Affairs** (verify against https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/ before invoicing). Australia is structurally a net-importer; primary sources Chile (SQM Atacama caliche-ore) + Japan (Iwate / Chiba gas-well) + China (limited domestic production).

Required documents

  • AICIS registration certificate (annual)
  • **End User Declaration (EUD) for drug-precursor scheduling** per Department of Home Affairs
  • WHS-compliant SDS (Skin Irrit. 2 + Eye Irrit. 2 + STOT SE 3 + Acute Tox. 4 inhalation)
  • Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS 280120
  • ChAFTA Form CO
  • ADG transport documentation UN 3495 Class 8 PG III where consigned
  • APVMA registration where placed as veterinary disinfectant
  • TGA certification where placed as therapeutic disinfectant

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 / Poisons Standard concentration-based scheduling**
  • **Drug Precursor End User Declaration required (Department of Home Affairs) under Crimes (Drug Precursors) Act 2008**
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case; Australia is structurally a net-importer
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies
  • **APVMA veterinary disinfection / udder-wash + TGA therapeutic disinfectant + Lugol's solution + iodine tincture**
  • ADG UN 3495 Class 8 PG III
