Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the flakes are in the form of foil (thickness ≤ 0.15 mm) and unworked.
Nickel foil is classified under heading 7506, not powders and flakes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the electrolytic production process to support classification
• Ensure the flakes are not considered 'foil' (thickness ≤ 0.15 mm) which falls under heading 7506
• Verify nickel purity to avoid alloy classification
