Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) under AICIS

H2S · 硫化氢

Status: Listed. Hydrogen sulfide is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **SUSMP / Poisons Standard Schedule 7 (dangerous poison) applies at concentrated industrial-grade** (verify the current Schedule entry against https://www.tga.gov.au/access-and-supply/poisons-standard before relying). NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list. NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin hydrogen sulfide. **Australia is structurally net-zero merchant trader of H2S** (captive intermediate at sour-gas plants; INPEX Ichthys offshore + Santos GLNG + Origin Energy APLNG sour-gas Claus-process captive); merchant cargo rare. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies (rare imports).

AICIS treats hydrogen sulfide as a routine listed industrial chemical with **high hazard profile** (Acute Tox. 2 inhalation + Flam. Gas 1A + Aquatic Acute 1; SUSMP Schedule 7 dangerous poison). NO active Australian AD/CVD case. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty. Australia structurally net-zero merchant H2S trader (captive at INPEX Ichthys + Santos GLNG + Origin Energy APLNG sour-gas Claus-process captive).

Classifications under this regime

  • Listed Industrial Chemical on AICIS Inventory
  • Australian GHS classification: Acute Tox. 2 inhalation + Flam. Gas 1A + Press. Gas + Aquatic Acute 1
  • **SUSMP / Poisons Standard Schedule 7 (dangerous poison)** at concentrated industrial-grade (verify the current Schedule entry against https://www.tga.gov.au/access-and-supply/poisons-standard before relying)
  • NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese hydrogen sulfide currently
  • WHS Regulation 2011 (Acute Tox. 2 inhalation + Flam. Gas 1A hazard profile)
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies (HS 281110)
  • SUSMP Schedule 7 (dangerous poison) at concentrated industrial-grade

  • Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS 281110
  • ChAFTA Form CO
  • ADG 7.7 documentation for UN 1053 Class 2.3 + 2.1

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 (dangerous poison)
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies
  • **Australia structurally net-zero merchant trader of H2S** (captive at INPEX Ichthys + Santos GLNG + Origin Energy APLNG)
