Chlorine (Cl2) under AICIS

Cl2 · 氯气

Status: Listed. Chlorine is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) applies for industrial-grade above concentration cutoffs**. NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list. NO active Australian AD/CVD case. Australia has substantial domestic chlor-alkali production (verify each producer-site pair against the producer's public website before relying on a specific kit of plant locations: Orica Botany NSW, GSF Australia Yarwun QLD, Ixom Yarraville Victoria); structurally balanced on a domestic-supply basis. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports (rare due to bulk-trade limitation).

AICIS treats Cl2 with **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) scheduling**. **Cl2 is structurally NOT internationally traded as bulk**. Australia substantial domestic chlor-alkali production (Orica Botany NSW + GSF Australia Yarwun QLD + Ixom Yarraville Victoria).

Importer obligations

The Australian importer of record must be registered with AICIS. **Cl2 is structurally NOT internationally traded as bulk**; standalone Cl2 import is rare. Australia has substantial domestic chlor-alkali production (Orica Botany NSW + GSF Australia Yarwun QLD + Ixom Yarraville Victoria).

Required documents

  • AICIS introducer registration certificate (annual)
  • WHS-compliant SDS
  • Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS code 280110
