Code 3815 19 · Heading 3815

Supported catalysts without precious-metal or nickel active substances

This covers catalysts on a carrier that are not classified by an active substance of precious metal, precious-metal compounds, nickel or nickel compounds. It includes the specifically described fine magnesium-silicate granules and other supported catalysts within this scope.

For example

A supported catalyst with copper as the active substance, not containing precious metal or precious-metal compounds or nickel or nickel compounds as the active substance, and not the specifically described fine magnesium-silicate granules

The path to this code

Every code is reached through these choices, one level at a time.

Step 4 of 4

Step 1 · Section VI Products of the chemical or allied industries
Is it an inorganic or organic chemical; a pharmaceutical product; a fertilizer; a tanning or dye extract, pigment, paint, varnish, filler or printing ink; an essential oil, perfume, cosmetic or toilet product; soap, a surface-active, washing, cleaning, polishing or wax product; a protein, modified starch, glue or enzyme; an explosive, pyrotechnic article, match or other specified combustible material; a photographic or cinematographic product; or another chemical product?
✓
Step 2 · Chapter 38 Miscellaneous chemical products 11 of 11 chapters in section VI
Which specific product type is it: a carbon or mineral product, resin or terpentine product, pesticide, textile, paper or leather treatment, soldering or welding preparation, oil or fuel additive, rubber or plastic additive, fire-extinguishing preparation, solvent or paint remover, catalyst, refractory product, alkylbenzene or alkylnaphthalene mixture, doped electronic material, hydraulic fluid, antifreeze or de-icing liquid, culture substrate, diagnostic or laboratory reagent, fatty acid or fatty alcohol, foundry binder or other chemical preparation, chemical waste, biodiesel, or a mixture containing halogenated methane, ethane or propane derivatives?

Is it a supported catalyst—and, if so, is its active substance nickel or nickel compounds, precious metal or precious metal compounds, or another substance?

Step 4 · Subheading 3815 19 Supported catalysts, n.e.s. (excl. with precious me… 3 of 4 subheadings under heading 3815
Is it a catalyst in granule form where at least 90% by weight measures no more than 10 micrometres, consisting of a mixture of oxides on a magnesium-silicate carrier, with copper content of at least 20% but no more than 35% by weight, bismuth content of at least 2% but no more than 3% by weight, and a tapped density of at least 0.2 but no more than 1.0?

This is the catch-all under 3815: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.

Within the parent group, this is for supported catalysts that are not named as having precious metal or precious-metal compounds, nickel or nickel compounds as the active substance; other reaction initiators, reaction accelerators and catalytic preparations, and unsupported catalysts, belong elsewhere in the parent group.
