Import Tips

Verify catalyst support material (e.g

zeolite, alumina) via lab analysis for accurate HTS classification

Obtain supplier certifications confirming precious metal content below 3815.12 thresholds to avoid reclassification

Include technical datasheets showing reaction initiation function to prevent misfiling under generic chemicals
