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
