HS Code 7506Nickel; plates, sheets, strip and foil

What HS code 7506 covers

Inside that section, Chapter 75 is the home of nickel and things made from nickel. This heading is for the flat kind of nickel product.

Think of nickel that has been rolled or cut into a flat shape. A thick flat piece is a plate. A thinner one is a sheet. A narrow, long piece is a strip. A very thin one is foil. All four belong here.

Customs offices use the Harmonized System to sort goods like these. This is HS classification: a shared code that tells every country which product is on the paperwork. Getting the code right helps your documents match the goods.

750610 vs 750620: alloyed or not alloyed

Once you know the goods are flat nickel, you only have one question left. Is the nickel alloyed or not? That single point decides the six-digit code.

HS 750620 is for the same shapes made of nickel alloys. The shape and the thickness do not change the code. The alloy status does.

People often search for pure nickel sheet. In customs terms, that kind of product is described as not alloyed, so look at 750610. If you are looking for a nickel alloy sheet, 750620 is the code to check.

Nickel foil follows the same rule. There is no separate code for foil on its own. Foil goes to 750610 or 750620, depending on whether it is alloyed. If you are unsure, check the specification that comes with the goods, or try the HS code classifier.

• 750610: nickel plates, sheets, strip and foil, not alloyed
• 750620: nickel plates, sheets, strip and foil, of nickel alloys

Nickel products classified elsewhere in Chapter 75

Not every nickel product with a flat look belongs in 7506. The heading is sorted by form. If your goods are not plates, sheets, strip or foil, one of the neighbouring headings is likely a better fit.

Use this short guide to rule out the wrong heading:

• 7502: nickel that is unwrought
• 7504: nickel powders and flakes
• 7505: nickel bars, rods, profiles and wire
• 7507: nickel tubes, pipes and tube or pipe fittings such as couplings, elbows and sleeves
• 7508: other nickel articles not named elsewhere in the chapter
• 7501 and 7503: nickel mattes and other intermediate products, and nickel waste and scrap

HS 7506 import export data: find nickel sheet buyers and suppliers

Once you have the code, you can look at who trades in it. Customs shipment records show real movements of goods. They are a good way to find companies that buy or sell nickel sheet and foil.

EximDataX shows shipment-level import and export records from official customs sources. Coverage: 43 direct customs feeds plus 184 mirror-derived countries. Named buyers and named suppliers are available in 38 of the 43 direct markets. Most markets refresh weekly and some refresh daily. You can search by HS code to see who imports and exports a product, and book a free demo.

To start, search for 750610 if you work with not alloyed nickel, or 750620 if you work with nickel alloys. You can also read the wider pages on import data and export data.
