Sodium chlorate (NaClO3) under AICIS
NaClO3 · 氯酸钠
Status: Listed. Sodium chlorate is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **SUSMP / Poisons Standard Schedule 5** typically (verify exact schedule + concentration threshold against the current Poisons Standard before relying). NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin sodium chlorate currently. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports. **APVMA registers sodium chlorate as herbicide / defoliant pesticide active** (verify current APVMA approval status against https://apvma.gov.au/ before relying). **Australian SecureCom / Security-Sensitive Ammonium Nitrate (SSAN)-type oxidiser controls may apply at certain concentrations / quantities** (verify against ASIO / Department of Home Affairs https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/ before relying); historic Australian use of sodium chlorate weed-killer in domestic gardening was scaled back after explosive-precursor diversion concerns.
AICIS treats sodium chlorate as a Listed Industrial Chemical with **SUSMP Schedule 5 + APVMA herbicide / defoliant + Security-Sensitive oxidiser controls (ASIO / Department of Home Affairs) overlay**. NO active Australian AD/CVD. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty. ADG UN 1495 Class 5.1 PG II oxidizer. Australia structurally net-importer; Canada (Erco Worldwide) + China (Shandong Lubei + Hebei Yuanli + Inner Mongolia Junzheng) + Sweden / Finland (Akzo Nobel / Kemira) primary sources.

Classifications under this regime
- Listed Industrial Chemical on AICIS Inventory
- Australian GHS classification: Ox. Sol. 1 + Acute Tox. 4 oral + Eye Irrit. 2 + Aquatic Chronic 2 (verify against current Safe Work Australia HCIS at https://hcis.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/ before relying)
- **SUSMP / Poisons Standard Schedule 5** typically (verify exact schedule against the current Poisons Standard before relying)
- ADG 7.7: UN 1495 Class 5.1 PG II oxidizer (verify against current ADG at https://www.ntc.gov.au/laws-and-regulations/dangerous-goods before consigning)
- 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 herbicide / defoliant** (verify current approval status against https://apvma.gov.au/)
- **Security-Sensitive oxidiser controls may apply (ASIO / Department of Home Affairs)** (verify against https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/ before relying)
- IARC: Not classified
Restrictions and conditions of use
- **SUSMP / Poisons Standard Schedule 5 typically (verify exact schedule)**
- **Security-Sensitive oxidiser controls may apply (ASIO / Department of Home Affairs)** (verify against https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/)
- NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin sodium chlorate
- WHS Regulation 2011 (oxidizer hazard handling)
- ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies (HS 282911)
- **APVMA herbicide / defoliant pesticide active**
Importer obligations
AICIS registration required. **Security-Sensitive oxidiser controls may apply per ASIO / Department of Home Affairs** (verify against https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/ before invoicing). Australia is structurally a net-importer of sodium chlorate; primary sources Canada (Erco Worldwide) + China (Shandong Lubei + Hebei Yuanli + Inner Mongolia Junzheng) + Sweden / Finland (Akzo Nobel / Kemira).
Required documents
- AICIS registration certificate (annual)
- WHS-compliant SDS (Ox. Sol. 1 + Acute Tox. 4 oral + Eye Irrit. 2 + Aquatic Chronic 2)
- Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS 282911
- ChAFTA Form CO
- ADG transport documentation UN 1495 Class 5.1 PG II oxidizer
- APVMA registration where placed as herbicide / defoliant
- Security-Sensitive oxidiser handling documentation 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
- **SUSMP / Poisons Standard Schedule 5 typically + Security-Sensitive oxidiser controls (ASIO / Department of Home Affairs)**
- NO active Australian AD/CVD case
- ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies
- **APVMA herbicide / defoliant pesticide active**
- ADG UN 1495 Class 5.1 PG II oxidizer
- Australia structurally net-importer; Canada / China / Sweden / Finland primary sources
