Import Tips
• Declare the catalyst as a supported preparation, not as a mixture of chemicals; the precious metal content is key for classification
• Ensure the chlorinated alumina support is not classified separately as an inorganic chemical
• Keep MSDS and technical data sheets for CBSA review, especially for hazardous material handling
