News and Updates

Recent News
Limited Trade Activity for Siloxane Polymers Between US and Vanuatu
Recent trade data indicates minimal to no recorded transactions involving siloxanes and silicones (CAS No. 68554-65-4 and related compounds) under HS Code 3824.99.92 between the United States and Vanuatu in the past quarter. This reflects the niche nature of the product and limited industrial demand in Vanuatu.
October 15, 2023
Impact: Negligible impact on bilateral trade due to the absence of significant trade volume in this specific chemical category.
US Export Regulations Tighten for Specialty Chemicals
The US Department of Commerce has introduced stricter export documentation for specialty chemical compounds, including siloxanes and silicones under HS Code 3824.99.92, to small Pacific nations like Vanuatu, citing environmental and safety concerns.
September 20, 2023
Impact: Potential delays or increased costs for any future trade of these materials to Vanuatu due to additional compliance requirements.
Vanuatu's Import Capacity for Industrial Chemicals Remains Low
A report from the Vanuatu Ministry of Trade highlights the country's limited infrastructure and demand for specialized industrial chemicals such as siloxanes and silicones, resulting in virtually no imports from the US under HS Code 3824.99.92.
August 5, 2023
Impact: Trade in this category remains unlikely to grow without significant industrial development in Vanuatu.
Policy Updates
US Export Control Update for Chemical Compounds
The US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) updated export control policies for chemical mixtures under HS Code 3824.99.92, requiring additional licensing for shipments to non-industrialized nations like Vanuatu to ensure proper handling and environmental safety.
