Electrolytic Nickel Rounds from China
Cylindrical electrolytic nickel pellets or rounds, 99.9% pure, used directly in melting furnaces for alloy production. These are considered unwrought due to their raw, unprocessed state despite discrete shape. Classified under HTS 7502.10.00.00 as non-alloyed unwrought nickel.

Import Tips
• Confirm 'not alloyed' via spectrometry analysis; even trace alloys can reclassify
• Use HS explanatory notes to distinguish rounds/pellets from wrought forms like bars
• Package in sealed moisture-proof containers to prevent oxidation during transit
