Zinc oxide (ZnO) under AICIS

ZnO · 氧化锌

Status: Listed. Zinc oxide is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **NO SUSMP scheduling at industrial-grade**. NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list. NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin zinc oxide. **Australian TGA Therapeutic Goods Act monograph permits zinc oxide as a sunscreen active ingredient** (cross-link to ARTG-listed sunscreen products). Australia has substantial domestic zinc smelting plus zinc oxide capacity (Pasminco / Nyrstar Hobart Tasmania, Zinifex Port Pirie South Australia legacy capacity); structurally balanced. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports.

AICIS treats zinc oxide as a routine listed industrial chemical with **light regulatory profile**. NO SUSMP scheduling. NO active Australian AD/CVD case. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies. Australia has **substantial domestic zinc smelting plus zinc oxide capacity** (Pasminco / Nyrstar Hobart Tasmania, Zinifex Port Pirie South Australia legacy). TGA monograph permits zinc oxide as sunscreen active ingredient.

Import Card

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

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • No AICIS-specific use restrictions
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese zinc oxide currently
  • WHS Regulation 2011 hazardous-chemicals handling
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies (HS 281700)

Importer obligations

AICIS registration required. Light-regulatory profile. Australia has substantial domestic zinc smelting plus zinc oxide capacity (Pasminco / Nyrstar Hobart Tasmania, Zinifex Port Pirie South Australia legacy); structurally balanced. Major Australian downstream consumers: Australian rubber industry (tyre, footwear, general rubber goods), sunscreen manufacturers (Edgewell / Banana Boat, Beiersdorf, Procter & Gamble Australia), ceramic + paint industries.

Required documents

  • AICIS registration certificate (annual)
  • WHS-compliant SDS reflecting H400 / H410
  • Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS 281700
  • ChAFTA Form CO
  • TGA monograph compliance for sunscreen-active applications

Common compliance traps
