HS Code 7502Nickel; unwrought

Unwrought nickel HS code 7502 explained

Unwrought means the metal has not been made into bars, sheets, wire or tubes. It is still nickel in its basic form. Tariff lists in some countries write this heading as HTS 7502.

Tariff classification starts with the form of your goods. If you ship raw nickel metal, this is the heading to check first. If your goods are made of nickel but have another shape, look at the neighbouring headings below. The [HS code classifier](/hs-classifier) can help when a tariff line is hard to match to your product.

The heading sits in Section XV, which covers base metals and articles of base metal. You can browse the rest of the nickel family on the [Chapter 75: nickel and articles thereof](/hs-codes/75) page.

HS 7502 nickel alloys vs not alloyed: 750210 or 750220

One test separates the two six-digit codes: is the nickel alloyed? That means no other metal was added on purpose. That means the metal is a nickel alloy.

Ask one question. Was another metal added to make an alloy? If no, choose 750210. If yes, choose 750220. A mill certificate or supplier product sheet usually answers this. Keep that paper with your file, because customs may ask for it.

How 7502 differs from other nickel headings

Chapter 75 sorts nickel goods by their form, not by who buys them. Compare your goods with each neighbour before you decide. Raw metal belongs in 7502. Everything else on this list is either a step before the metal, a leftover, or a worked shape.

• [HS 7501 nickel mattes and oxide sinters](/hs-codes/75/7501): intermediate products of nickel metallurgy, made before the pure metal.
• [HS 7503 nickel waste and scrap](/hs-codes/75/7503): leftover and used nickel pieces.
• [HS 7504 nickel powders and flakes](/hs-codes/75/7504): fine nickel in powder or flake form.
• [HS 7506 nickel plates, sheets and foil](/hs-codes/75/7506): flat rolled forms, including strip.
• [HS 7507 nickel tubes and pipes](/hs-codes/75/7507): tubes, pipes and fittings such as couplings, elbows and sleeves.
• [HS 7508 other nickel articles](/hs-codes/75/7508): nickel articles not named elsewhere in the chapter.

HS 7502 nickel import export data

Import records show the buy side. They tell you who brings unwrought nickel into a market. Open [unwrought nickel import data](/import-data) to study demand or look for new customers.

Export records show the sell side. They tell you who sends the metal out of a market. Open [unwrought nickel export data](/export-data) to study supply or compare sources. Read both together to see how a market gets its nickel.

Pick 750210 or 750220 first, then search with that code. Your results will then match your product. The six-digit code is the same on both sides of a trade, but a country may add its own extra digits after the sixth.
