Potassium iodide (KI) under AICIS

KI · 碘化钾

Status: Listed. Potassium iodide is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **SUSMP / Poisons Standard Schedule 2 / unscheduled at therapeutic concentrations typically** (verify exact schedule + concentration threshold against the current Poisons Standard before relying). **Drug Precursor scope determination under Crimes Legislation Amendment (Drug Precursors) Act 2008 administered by Department of Home Affairs may apply to KI as iodine salt** (verify against https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/ before invoicing). NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin potassium iodide currently. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports. **TGA registers potassium iodide as therapeutic anti-thyroid radiation tablet (KI tablets distributed under National Medical Stockpile for radiation emergencies) + expectorant + thyroid hormone synthesis precursor** (verify against https://www.tga.gov.au/). **FSANZ Standard 2.10.2 mandatory iodine fortification of bread (since 2009)** (verify against https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/ before relying).

AICIS treats potassium iodide as a Listed Industrial Chemical with **SUSMP Schedule 2 / unscheduled at therapeutic concentrations + Drug Precursor scope-determination overlay (Crimes (Drug Precursors) Act 2008, Department of Home Affairs)**. NO active Australian AD/CVD. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty. **TGA therapeutic KI tablets for nuclear-incident radiation prophylaxis (National Medical Stockpile) + FSANZ Standard 2.10.2 mandatory iodine fortification of bread (since 2009)**. Australia limited domestic production; structurally net-importer.

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • **SUSMP / Poisons Standard Schedule 2 / unscheduled at therapeutic concentrations (verify)**
  • **Drug Precursor scope determination required (Department of Home Affairs)** (verify against https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/)
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin potassium iodide
  • WHS Regulation 2011 (light hazard handling)
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies (HS 283120)
  • **TGA therapeutic KI tablets**

Importer obligations

AICIS registration required. **Drug Precursor scope determination required under Crimes (Drug Precursors) Act 2008** (verify against https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/ before invoicing). Australia has limited domestic potassium iodide production; structurally net-importer for iodised-salt + pharma + animal-feed + photographic sectors.

Required documents

  • AICIS registration certificate (annual)
  • **End User Declaration (EUD) for drug-precursor scope determination** per Department of Home Affairs
  • WHS-compliant SDS (Eye Irrit. 2 + STOT RE 1 thyroid chronic high-dose)
  • Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS 283120
  • ChAFTA Form CO
  • TGA certification where placed as therapeutic
  • FSANZ documentation where placed as iodised-salt fortification grade

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 Schedule 2 / unscheduled at therapeutic concentrations**
  • **Drug Precursor scope determination required (Department of Home Affairs) under Crimes (Drug Precursors) Act 2008**
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies
  • **TGA therapeutic KI tablets for radiation emergencies (National Medical Stockpile) + FSANZ Standard 2.10.2 mandatory iodine fortification of bread (since 2009)**
  • Australia limited domestic KI production; structurally net-importer
