Cold-Formed Pure Nickel Round Rod 1/4 Inch Diameter from Japan
This is a high-purity nickel rod, cold-formed through drawing or extrusion processes to achieve precise 1/4 inch diameter dimensions. It consists of unalloyed nickel (minimum 99.8% Ni) and is used in chemical processing equipment due to its corrosion resistance. Classified under HTS 7505.11.10.00 as cold-formed bars and rods of non-alloyed nickel.

Import Tips
• Verify nickel purity exceeds 99% with mill test certificates to confirm non-alloyed status and avoid reclassification
• Include detailed cold-forming process documentation, as hot-rolled equivalents fall under 7505.11.20.00
