Nickel U-Channel Profile
A U-channel profile made from pure nickel, used in battery electrode frames. The channeled cross-section qualifies it as a profile under tariff item 7505.11.00, not as a basic rod or bar, due to its non-uniform shape along the width.

This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the U-channel is closed to form a hollow tube with a single void
Closed hollow sections may be classified as tubes or pipes of nickel.
If the profile is a dedicated part of a battery electrode frame
Parts of electric accumulators are classified in Chapter 85.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the U-channel does not meet the definition of tubes or pipes (e.g
• closed void) — an open channel is a profile
• Keep composition certificates to prove non-alloyed nickel
• If the frame is part of a battery, check if Chapter 85 applies to the complete article
