Nickel mattes, nickel oxide sinters and other intermediate products of nickel metallurgy
2 declarable lines
Heading 7501 covers nickel mattes, nickel oxide sinters and other intermediate products of nickel metallurgy. It is split into two declarable lines: nickel mattes under 7501.10.00.00 and nickel oxide sinters plus other intermediate products under 7501.20.00.00.
Products in this heading
- Nickel matte
- Nickel oxide sinter
- Nickel smelter matte intermediate
- Nickel metallurgy intermediate for refining
- Nickel oxide sinter for alloy production
- Nickel-rich intermediate from nickel metallurgy
- Nickel matte feed for refining
How to choose the right subheading
- Whether the product is a metallurgical intermediate rather than refined nickel metal.
- Whether the material is a nickel matte or a nickel oxide sinter or another intermediate product.
- The chemical and physical form stated for the shipment, such as matte or oxide sinter.
- The intended use in further refining or processing, not as a finished article.
Often confused with
- Heading 7502Refined unwrought nickel
Refined nickel metal is classified as unwrought nickel, not a metallurgical intermediate.
- Heading 7505Nickel bars and rods
Finished long products are downstream of intermediate nickel metallurgy.
- Heading 7506Nickel plates, sheets, strip and foil
Flat rolled nickel products are mill products, not mattes or sinters.
- Heading 7507Nickel tubes and pipes
Tubular products are finished goods outside this heading.
- Heading 7508Other articles of nickel
Finished nickel articles are excluded from intermediate metallurgy products.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for nickel mattes?
Nickel mattes are classified under 7501.10.00.00, and the general (MFN) rate is Free.
What is the duty on nickel oxide sinters?
Nickel oxide sinters are classified under 7501.20.00.00, and the general (MFN) rate is Free.
How do I classify other intermediate products of nickel metallurgy?
Other intermediate products of nickel metallurgy fall under 7501.20.00.00, and the general (MFN) rate is Free. Nickel mattes use 7501.10.00.00, with the same general (MFN) rate of Free.
