Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If using Raney nickel instead of palladium
Base metal supported catalysts like nickel on silica classify under 3815.11
If spent/recovered catalyst material
Used or waste catalysts containing precious metals may fall under chemical preparations in 3824
If pure palladium compounds without impregnation
Unsupported salts like palladium chloride are Chapter 28 inorganic chemicals
