Aniline (aminobenzene) under AICIS

C6H7N · 苯胺

Status: Listed. Aniline is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. Australia adopted the GHS classification matching REACH (Carc 2 + Muta 2 + Acute Tox. 3 + STOT RE 1 + Skin Sens 1 + Aquatic Chronic 1). **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) applies for industrial-grade aniline above concentration cutoffs** (similar to formaldehyde batch 18 + benzene batch 22 SUSMP Schedule 7). NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list. NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin aniline. Australia has no major domestic aniline production capacity; imports primarily flow to limited downstream MDI / TDI / dyestuff industries. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports.

AICIS treats aniline as a routine listed industrial chemical with **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) scheduling for industrial-grade above concentration cutoffs** (similar to formaldehyde batch 18 + benzene batch 22 SUSMP Schedule 7 pattern). The operational compliance work is substantial (annual AICIS registration, WHS-compliant SDS, ADG 7.7 Class 6.1 transport, corrosion-resistant tankage + ventilated storage for bulk). NO active Australian AD/CVD case. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty makes Chinese-origin aniline competitive. Australia has **no major domestic aniline production**; imports primarily flow to limited downstream MDI / TDI / dyestuff industries.

Listing and threshold

Substance Aniline (aminobenzene) (CAS 62-53-3), C6H7N

Status Listed
Tonnage threshold AICIS introducer registration required for any business introducing >100 kg/year of any industrial chemical

Classifications under this regime

  • Listed Industrial Chemical on AICIS Inventory
  • Australian GHS classification: Carc. 2 (H351), Muta. 2 (H341), Acute Tox. 3 oral / dermal / inhalation (H301 / H311 / H331), STOT RE 1 (H372), Skin Sens. 1 (H317), Eye Dam. 1 (H318), Aquatic Acute 1 (H400), Aquatic Chronic 1 (H410)
  • Signal word: DANGER. GHS pictograms: GHS06 + GHS08 + GHS09
  • **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison)** applies for industrial-grade aniline above concentration cutoffs
  • NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list
  • Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG 7.7): Class 6.1 (toxic substance), UN 1547, Packing Group II
  • Safe Work Australia workplace exposure standard: 2 ppm (skin notation) 8-hr TWA
  • **IARC: Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans)**

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • No AICIS-specific use restrictions for industrial-grade aniline above concentration cutoffs
  • SUSMP Schedule 7 retail packaging rules apply for industrial-grade above cutoffs
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin aniline currently
  • WHS Regulation 2011 hazardous-chemicals handling requirements apply at workplaces handling aniline bulk above declared thresholds
  • NFPA-equivalent toxic substance storage requirements apply for bulk; corrosion-resistant tankage + ventilated storage
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies to Chinese-origin aniline (HS 292141)
  • **Australian Dangerous Goods Code Class 6.1 transport documentation** applies for road + rail + sea transport

Importer obligations

The Australian importer of record must be registered with AICIS (online registration is straightforward and annual). For Listed Industrial Chemicals like aniline no individual chemical assessment is required. **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) compliance is the dominant practitioner overhead**. Workplace handling SDS drives WHS hazardous-chemicals register entry at handling facilities; corrosion-resistant tankage + ventilated storage applies for bulk receipt. **Carc 2 + Muta 2 + Acute Tox. 3 + STOT RE 1 (blood + spleen) + Aquatic Chronic 1** drive substantial WHS workplace exposure-control + waste-discharge overhead. Australia has no major domestic aniline production; imports primarily flow to limited downstream MDI / TDI / dyestuff industries. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty makes Chinese-origin aniline competitive vs Korean (Hyosung Chemicals, Kumho Mitsui), Indian, Japanese alternatives.

Required documents

  • AICIS introducer registration certificate (annual)
  • WHS-compliant Safety Data Sheet (Safe Work Australia model code format) reflecting H301 / H311 / H317 / H318 / H331 / H341 / H351 / H372 / H410 classification
  • Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS code 292141
  • **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) labelling compliance** for industrial-grade above cutoffs
  • ChAFTA Form CO certificate of origin for preferential treatment
  • Industrial-grade specification certificate (minimum 99.9% purity)
  • ADG 7.7 Class 6.1 dangerous-goods transport documentation

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
  • WHS hazardous-chemicals register entry required at handling facilities; corrosion-resistant tankage + ventilated storage for bulk
  • **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) compliance is the dominant practitioner overhead** for industrial-grade above cutoffs (similar to formaldehyde batch 18 + benzene batch 22 SUSMP Schedule 7)
  • Carc 2 + Muta 2 + Acute Tox. 3 + STOT RE 1 (blood + spleen) + Aquatic Chronic 1 hazard profile drives heaviest WHS workplace exposure-control + waste-discharge overhead
  • NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese aniline currently
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty makes Chinese-origin aniline competitive vs Korean (Hyosung Chemicals, Kumho Mitsui), Indian, Japanese alternatives
  • Australian end-use is limited (no major MDI / TDI capacity domestically); imports primarily flow to limited downstream dyestuff + agrochemical + pharmaceutical industries
