Import Tips

• Provide manufacturer's certification of catalytic grade vs. reagent grade to justify 3815 classification

• Ensure packaging prevents moisture absorption, which could alter composition and trigger reclassification

• Watch for misclassification as fertilizer additive (3102) if marketed for agriculture rather than catalysis
