Nickel Anode Basket for Electroplating
> A perforated basket fabricated from nickel mesh, designed to hold nickel anodes during electroplating operations. It is an "other article of nickel" because it is a fabricated industrial component, not a raw anode shape, and it is specifically used in electroplating baths. This basket falls under tariff item 7508.90.10 because it is an anode for electroplating, as it directly supports the anode material in the plating process.
