Cold-Formed Pure Nickel Welding Wire from Japan
High-purity nickel wire specifically cold-formed for use in TIG and MIG welding applications. It is classified under HTS 7505.21.10.00 as cold-formed wire of non-alloyed nickel, distinguished by its manufacturing process which enhances uniformity and strength without heat treatment.

Import Tips
• Verify nickel purity exceeds 99% to confirm non-alloyed status; provide mill test certificates
• Document cold-forming process in manufacturing records to avoid reclassification as hot-formed
• Ensure wire diameter specs match HTS description; common pitfall is mislabeling as alloyed
