Common compliance traps
The pitfalls that have bitten importers on this lane in the past. None of these is theoretical.
- **0% China VAT export rebate**
- Major Chinese producers: Solvay China Zhenjiang JV, **Wanhua Chemical Yantai (HPPO integrated)**, Hubei Yihua, Anhui Jinhe, Sinopec
- Production: anthraquinone process (~99% globally)
- **HPPO chain integration with PO batch 29 + caprolactam batch 14 (new plants)** drives integrated capacity strategy
- Concentration tiers (35% / 50% / 60% / 70% / 90% / 98%) determine hazard classification

Glossary
IECSC, Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances in China
The Chinese national chemical inventory listing substances legally manufactured, imported, used, or sold in China before 2003. A substance not on IECSC requires a New Chemical Substance Notification (NCSN) under MEE Order 12 before it can be manufactured or imported into China. Functionally similar to TSCA in the US and REACH in the EU but with distinct procedural requirements.
