Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If specifically for purifying air or gases in fixed-bed reactors
Gas purification catalysts have dedicated subheading 3815.12, separate from hydrogenation uses.
If activated carbon dominates without significant metal loading
Primarily carbon-based materials fall under heading 3802 for activated carbon.
If imported solely as palladium waste scrap
Spent catalysts treated as precious metal waste go to Chapter 71.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare exact palladium loading percentage for duty valuation; undervaluation leads to audits
• Flammable solid classification may apply; include wet/dry weight distinctions in documentation
• Prevent re-export without ATF precious metals tracking if applicable
