About HS Code 381519
This 'other' category for supported catalysts, reaction initiators, accelerators, and catalytic preparations includes those with active substances other than nickel or precious metals or their compounds. This is a vast and diverse group, encompassing catalysts based on base metals (like copper, iron, vanadium), metal oxides, zeolites, and various organic or inorganic compounds. They are utilized across a broad spectrum of industries, including fertilizer production, polymer manufacturing, environmental control (e.g., NOx reduction), and general chemical synthesis. Importers and exporters include chemical manufacturers, environmental technology firms, and specialized catalyst producers. Trade considerations often focus on cost-effectiveness, specific reaction pathways, regeneration methods, and the environmental impact of their production and disposal.
Products Under This Code
Zeolite catalyst, iron-based ammonia synthesis catalyst, copper chromite catalyst, vanadium pentoxide catalyst, titanium dioxide photocatalyst, molecular sieve catalyst, acid catalyst for alkylation, manganese oxide catalyst.
Real World Examples
BASF Zeolite Catalysts, Clariant Base Metal Catalysts, Topsoe Iron Catalysts, Evonik Catalysts, Grace Davison Catalysts.
Common Misclassification
This is a residual category, so it's crucial to ensure the catalyst does not contain nickel (381511) or precious metals (381512) to avoid misclassification.
Products Classified Under 3815.19
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
China, USA, Germany, and India are major global players in the production and trade of diverse industrial catalysts.
