Raney nickel is a finely divided nickel-aluminum alloy activated with sodium hydroxide, used as a supported catalyst with nickel as the active substance for hydrogenation reactions in organic synthesis. It falls under HTS 3815.11.00.00 because it is a supported catalyst specifically featuring nickel or nickel compounds as the primary active ingredient. Commonly employed in pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing for reducing double bonds.

Import Tips

• Verify catalyst support material (e.g

• alumina) and nickel content via lab analysis for accurate classification and EPA compliance

• Obtain SDS and ensure proper hazardous material declaration for shipping, as it may be pyrophoric

• Avoid misclassification as precious metal catalyst; confirm nickel is predominant active substance
