Acrylic acid (prop-2-enoic acid) under AICIS

C3H4O2 · 丙烯酸

Status: Listed. Acrylic acid is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **SUSMP Schedule 6 (Poison) applies for retail mixtures above concentration cutoffs**. NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list. NO active Australian AD/CVD case. Australia has limited domestic acrylic acid production; structurally net-importer for downstream SAP + acrylic ester + paint + coating industries. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports.

AICIS treats acrylic acid as a routine listed industrial chemical with **SUSMP Schedule 6 (Poison) scheduling**. NO active Australian AD/CVD case. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty makes Chinese-origin acrylic acid competitive.
