Acrylonitrile under IECSC

C3H3N · 丙烯腈

Status: Listed. Acrylonitrile is on the IECSC public portion. **Acrylonitrile IS on China's Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals + Highly Toxic Chemicals Catalog**: heaviest-compliance substance alongside phenol batch 13 + formaldehyde batch 18 + benzene batch 22 + aniline batch 26 + EO batch 28 + TDI batch 31 + ammonia batch 37. NOT on Easily-Made Drugs Precursor Chemicals Catalog. **0% China VAT export rebate**. China dominates global acrylonitrile capacity (~30%, ~3-4 Mt/yr) led by Sinopec (Anqing + Shanghai SECCO + Yangzi + Maoming), Wanhua Chemical Yantai.

Acrylonitrile is comfortably IECSC-listed but IS on **BOTH the Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals AND the Highly Toxic Chemicals Catalog**. **0% China VAT export rebate**. China dominates global acrylonitrile capacity (~30%, ~3-4 Mt/yr). Production: SOHIO ammoxidation. **Closes butadiene batch 27 + ammonia batch 37 + propylene chains**; completes ABS triangle.

Import Card

Before you order acrylonitrile from China, see its register listing, the duty, anti dumping cases and a supplier check on one card, each with its source and date.

Listing and threshold

Substance Acrylonitrile (CAS 107-13-1), C3H3N
Regime China Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances (IECSC), administered by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE)
Jurisdiction People's Republic of China
Status Listed
Tonnage threshold No new-substance threshold applies. Hazardous Chemicals Operation Permit required regardless of volume

Classifications under this regime

  • Listed in China's Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals
  • **Listed in China's Highly Toxic Chemicals Catalog** (Public Security Bureau supervision)
  • NOT on the Easily-Made Drugs Precursor Chemicals Catalog
  • GB/T 7717-2008 specification applies for industrial-grade acrylonitrile (Chinese national standard)
  • GACC export classification: HS 292610 (acrylonitrile)
  • China dominates global acrylonitrile capacity (~30%, ~3-4 Mt/yr); ~99% via SOHIO ammoxidation
  • GB 6944-2012 dangerous-goods transport classification: Class 3 + Class 6.1, UN 1093, PG I

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • **Hazardous Chemicals Operation Permit IS required**
  • **Highly Toxic Chemicals Public Security Bureau permit chain** required
  • Hazardous Chemicals Road Transport Permit required
  • **0% China VAT export rebate**
  • GB/T 17519 Chinese-language SDS required for domestic distribution
  • Producer-specific AD margin documentation for destination markets where active anti-dumping measures apply (verify EU Official Journal and US ITA filings before each shipment)

Importer obligations

For Chinese-origin acrylonitrile exported abroad, no IECSC obligation falls on the foreign importer. **Highly Toxic Chemicals + Hazardous Chemicals dual-permit chain is the heaviest compliance overhead**. Major Chinese producers: Sinopec (Anqing + Shanghai SECCO + Yangzi + Maoming), Wanhua Chemical Yantai.

Required documents

  • GACC export declaration with HS code 292610
  • Industrial-grade certificate per GB/T 7717-2008 (verify standard number is current)
  • GHS-compliant SDS in Simplified Chinese per GB/T 17519-2013 (effective 31 January 2014, references UN GHS 4th revised edition; verify against the current version of GB/T 17519 at https://www.codeofchina.com/standard/GBT17519-2013.html)
  • Hazardous Chemicals Operation Permit chain documentation
  • **Highly Toxic Chemicals Public Security Bureau permit chain documentation**
  • GB 6944-2012 Class 3 + 6.1 dangerous-goods transport documentation
  • Producer-specific AD margin documentation for destination markets where active anti-dumping measures apply (verify before each shipment)

Common compliance traps

The pitfalls that have bitten importers on this lane in the past. None of these is theoretical.

  • **Highly Toxic Chemicals + Hazardous Chemicals dual-permit chain is the heaviest compliance overhead**
  • **0% China VAT export rebate**
  • Major Chinese producers: Sinopec (Anqing + Shanghai SECCO + Yangzi + Maoming), Wanhua Chemical Yantai
  • Production: SOHIO ammoxidation (propylene + NH3 + air with Bi-Mo catalyst, ~90 percent of global acrylonitrile production per public sources, INEOS / Asahi Kasei licensors; verified against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammoxidation)
  • **Closes butadiene batch 27 + ammonia batch 37 + propylene chains**; completes ABS triangle with styrene batch 25 + butadiene batch 27
  • Verify current EU and US anti-dumping measures on Chinese-origin acrylonitrile against the EU Official Journal and US ITA Federal Register filings before invoicing each shipment
