Nickel Flakes Type 123
Fine nickel flakes Type 123 with average particle size of 10-20 microns, produced by milling high-purity nickel for uniform dispersion. Classified under HTS 7504.00.00.50 as nickel flakes distinct from powders due to their flat, lamellar shape. Primarily used in conductive coatings and polymer composites.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If spherical or irregular particles
Nickel powders (non-flake morphology) classified separately from flakes in same heading.
If chemically treated or coated
Surface-modified nickel flakes become chemical preparations, moving to Chapter 38.
If for jewelry manufacturing use
Nickel flakes as articles of base metal for jewelry fall under Chapter 71.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate (>99% nickel) as impurities affect classification and duty; test via ICP analysis
• Declare average particle size and production method to avoid reclassification as nickel powder
