Nickel on Alumina Catalyst
This supported catalyst consists of nickel compounds dispersed on an alumina carrier, optimized for industrial hydrogenation processes such as fat hardening in edible oil refining. Classified under HTS 3815.11.00.00 due to nickel as the active substance on a solid support. It accelerates reactions in petrochemical and food processing industries.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not explicitly supported on inert carrier
Unsupported reaction accelerators or initiators go to other catalyst subheadings.
If primarily nickel ore or matte rather than prepared catalyst
Raw nickel-bearing materials are classified as mineral products, not chemical preparations.
If for bulk nickel chemical admixtures used in catalysis
Simple mixtures lacking catalytic preparation structure fall under chemical mixtures.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming nickel loading percentage and support type to avoid reclassification
• Comply with TSCA registration for new chemical substances if not previously notified
• Check for spent catalyst status; active catalysts only qualify here, not waste
