Sodium bromide (NaBr) under AICIS

NaBr · 溴化钠

Status: Listed. Sodium bromide 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 sodium bromide. Australia has limited domestic sodium bromide production; structurally net-importer for offshore-oilfield + flame-retardant + pharma + pool / spa biocide sectors. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports. **APVMA registers sodium bromide as a pesticide active in pool / spa sanitation systems** (verify current APVMA approval status against https://apvma.gov.au/ before relying). **TGA registers sodium bromide as a therapeutic sedative-historical / electrolyte excipient** (verify against https://www.tga.gov.au/).

AICIS treats sodium bromide as a routine listed industrial chemical with **light hazard profile** (Eye Irrit. 2 + STOT SE 3). NO active Australian AD/CVD case. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty. **APVMA pool / spa sanitiser + TGA therapeutic-grade**. Australia limited domestic production; structurally net-importer.

Classifications under this regime

  • Listed Industrial Chemical on AICIS Inventory
  • Australian GHS classification: Eye Irrit. 2 + STOT SE 3 light hazard profile
  • 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
  • Safe Work Australia: no specific WES typically established (verify against the current Safe Work Australia Workplace Exposure Standards at https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/exposure-standards before relying)
  • **APVMA pesticide active for pool / spa sanitation** (verify current approval status against https://apvma.gov.au/)
  • **TGA therapeutic sedative-historical / electrolyte excipient** (verify against https://www.tga.gov.au/)
  • IARC: Not classified

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese sodium bromide currently
  • WHS Regulation 2011 (light hazard handling)
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies (HS 282710)
  • **APVMA pesticide active for pool / spa sanitation**
  • **TGA therapeutic-grade registration**

Importer obligations

AICIS registration required. Australia has limited domestic sodium bromide production; structurally net-importer for offshore-oilfield + flame-retardant + pharma + pool / spa biocide sectors.

Required documents

  • AICIS registration certificate (annual)
  • WHS-compliant SDS (Eye Irrit. 2 + STOT SE 3)
  • Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS 282710
  • ChAFTA Form CO
  • APVMA registration where placed as pool / spa sanitiser
  • TGA certification where applicable

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
  • **APVMA pool / spa sanitiser** + **TGA therapeutic-grade**
  • Australia limited domestic sodium bromide production; structurally net-importer
