Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains >1% other metals like copper or iron
Intentionally alloyed nickel shifts to Chapter 75 heading 7503 for nickel alloys.
If in pellet or powder form
Nickel mattes, waste, or powders are classified separately under 7502.20.
If chemically precipitated as a compound
Nickel compounds like oxides or salts fall under Chapter 28 for inorganic chemicals.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate from supplier showing >99% nickel content to confirm non-alloyed status
• Include mill test reports (MTRs) documenting chemical composition for CBP classification
• Avoid misclassification as nickel alloys by ensuring no intentional addition of other metals
