Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If scrap from used catalytic converters in metallic form
Unprocessed metallic catalytic converter scrap classifies under 7112.20 before ashing or powdering.
If supported catalysts not yet processed to ash
Intact spent catalysts are chemical preparations under 3815, not waste ash for recovery.
If for industrial waste residues not principally precious metal recovery
General industrial residues with minor precious metals fall under Chapter 38.
