Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If still supported on inert carrier
Exhausted catalysts with carrier not fully ashed remain in Chapter 38 as spent catalysts.
If mixed with municipal fly ash
Any municipal waste component excludes from 2620 per chapter notes.
If extracted into metal oxide form
Processed oxides are inorganic chemicals under Chapter 28, not raw residues.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide process origin certificate showing catalyst use, not incineration
• Report nickel assay without deductions as per statistical note for accurate duty calculation
• Beware of blending with other wastes; pure streams only qualify for 2620
