Monel 400 Copper-Nickel Alloy Billets from China
Monel 400 is a solid-solution nickel-copper alloy in unwrought billet form, ideal for marine and chemical applications due to its resistance to seawater corrosion. The material is cast into basic shapes for hot working or forging. Falls under HTS 7502.20.00.00 as nickel alloys remain nickel-based despite copper content.

Import Tips
• Require supplier certificates showing nickel as principal element; inspect for proper heat numbering traceability
• Declare exact alloy grade in entry summary to prevent customs reclassification
