AG Precursors (ECCN 1 C 350) · Chemicals that may be used as precursors for toxic chemical agents; · Have been sought or acquired by State or non. State actors to support CW programs; · Typically have large industrial uses; · Dual-use.

• Schedule 2 CWC Chemicals • Chemicals which pose a significant risk because they posses such lethal or incapacitating toxicity that they could be used as chemical weapons; • Chemicals which may be used as a precursor in the final stage of formation of a chemical listed in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 A; • Chemicals which pose a significant risk by virtue of their importance in the production of a chemical listed in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 A; Chemicals which are not produced in large commercial quantities for purposes not prohibited under the CWC.
