Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloyed with chromium (>2%) for stainless
Ferro-nickel or stainless inputs classified under iron/steel Chapter 72.
If extruded into wire-rod
Wire-rods represent first stage of wrought processing.
If >50% nickel but classified as slag/ash
Nickel-containing slags from smelting go to Chapter 26 residues.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide density and compression specs to prove briquettes remain unwrought material
• Label containers clearly with 'UNWROUGHT NICKEL - NOT ALLOYED' for customs inspection
• Check for anti-dumping duties if sourced from specific countries like China or Russia
