Products classified under Tariff item 7502.10.00
Aerospace Nickel Pellets
Aerospace-grade nickel pellets with 99.95% nickel content, produced to AMS 7503 specifications for vacuum arc remelting in superalloy production. These pellets are unwrought feedstock, not yet worked into any semi-finished or finished form, and meet the definition of nickel, not alloyed under subheading note 1(a).
Battery-Grade Nickel Pellets
Ultra-high purity nickel pellets (99.99% Ni) with low sulfur and carbon content, designed for NMC battery cathode precursor production. These pellets are in unwrought form, optimized for dissolution in precursor manufacturing, and qualify as nickel, not alloyed under subheading note 1(a).
Electrolytic Nickel Rounds
Electrolytic nickel rounds, cylindrical in shape with 99.9% purity, used directly in melting furnaces for alloy production. These rounds are unwrought because they are in a raw, unprocessed state despite their discrete shape, and meet the definition of nickel, not alloyed.
Electrolytic Nickel Target Material
High-purity nickel slabs (99.995% Ni) used as sputtering targets for thin-film deposition. Although they have precise dimensions, they are considered unwrought because they are primarily melted down for further processing, and they meet the definition of nickel, not alloyed.
Full Plate Nickel Cathodes
Full plate electrolytic nickel cathodes, measuring 1.25m x 0.65m and weighing 12-15kg each, with 99.90% purity. These cathodes are the industry standard for remelting and are considered unwrought nickel, not alloyed, as they are directly produced by electrolysis without further working.
Nickel 99.95% Pure Cathode
High-purity nickel cathode sheets produced via electrolytic refining, containing at least 99.95% nickel with minimal impurities. These unwrought sheets serve as raw material for further processing into rods, wires, or other products, and meet the definition of nickel, not alloyed.
Nickel Briquettes 99.8% Pure
Compressed nickel briquettes made from electrolytic nickel powder, containing 99.8% nickel, used in stainless steel production. Briquetting is a consolidation process that does not constitute working, so the briquettes remain unwrought nickel, not alloyed.
Nickel Cut Cathodes
Guillotine-sheared nickel cathode pieces (10-50kg) cut from full plates, maintaining 99.8% minimum purity. Shearing for transport convenience does not constitute wrought processing, so these pieces remain unwrought nickel, not alloyed.
Nickel Melting Pellets
Uniform 15g nickel pellets (99.85% Ni) optimized for induction furnace melting in specialty alloy production. The pellet form improves melting efficiency without any wrought processing, and the product meets the definition of nickel, not alloyed.
Nickel Rounds for Battery Production
Nickel rounds with 99.9% purity, specifically sized for nickel-metal hydride battery manufacturing. These unwrought pellets dissolve completely during the alloying process and meet the definition of nickel, not alloyed under subheading note 1(a).
Primary Nickel Cathodes Class 1
Class 1 primary nickel cathodes meeting LME Grade A specifications (99.80% min Ni), produced via hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical processes from nickel sulfide ores. These are standard unwrought nickel products, not alloyed, and fall under tariff item 7502.10.00.
