Phosphorus (yellow / white / red) under AICIS

P4 (white) / Pn (red) · 黄磷 / 白磷 / 红磷

Status: Listed. Phosphorus is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **SUSMP / Poisons Standard Schedule 7 (dangerous poison) for yellow / white phosphorus** (verify the current Schedule entry against https://www.tga.gov.au/access-and-supply/poisons-standard before relying); red phosphorus may carry Schedule 5 or 6 at concentrated grade. NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list. NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin phosphorus. Australia has no domestic phosphorus production; structurally net-importer for Australian phosphate-fertiliser industry (Incitec Pivot Phosphate Hill Queensland sources phosphate rock + sulfuric acid not phosphorus directly). ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports.

AICIS treats phosphorus as a routine listed industrial chemical with **two-allotrope hazard profile** (yellow / white SUSMP Schedule 7 dangerous poison; red Schedule 5 or 6). NO active Australian AD/CVD case. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty. Australia no domestic phosphorus production; structurally net-importer.

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese phosphorus currently
  • WHS Regulation 2011 (yellow / white Pyr. Sol. 1 + Acute Tox. 1; red Flam. Sol. 1)
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies (HS 280470)
  • SUSMP Schedule 7 (yellow / white) + Schedule 5 or 6 (red)

Importer obligations

AICIS registration required. Australia has no domestic phosphorus production; structurally net-importer.

Required documents

  • AICIS registration certificate (annual)
  • WHS-compliant SDS (allotrope-specific hazard profile)
  • Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS 280470
  • ChAFTA Form CO
  • ADG 7.7 documentation per allotrope

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 Schedule 7 (yellow / white) + Schedule 5 or 6 (red)
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies
  • Australia no domestic phosphorus production; structurally net-importer
  • ADG 7.7 UN 1381 / UN 2447 Class 4.2 PG I (yellow / white) + UN 1338 Class 4.1 PG III (red)
