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
