Heading 7505

Nickel bars, rods, profiles and wire

10 declarable lines

Heading 7505 covers nickel bars, rods, profiles and wire. It first separates bars, rods and profiles from wire, then separates nickel that is not alloyed from nickel alloys. Bars and rods and wire are further split by whether they are cold-formed.

How to choose the right subheading

Decide whether the item is wire or a bar, rod or profile.
Decide whether the nickel is not alloyed or an alloy.
For bars and rods, decide whether they are cold-formed or not cold-formed.
Profiles are classified by nickel composition and have their own lines.
For wire, decide whether it is cold-formed or not cold-formed.

Often confused with

Nickel plates, sheets, strip and foil
These are flat-rolled nickel products, not bars, rods, profiles or wire.
Heading 7506
Nickel tubes and pipes
Tubular products and fittings are classified outside heading 7505.
Heading 7507
Unwrought nickel
Unwrought metal in primary forms is not formed bar, rod, profile or wire.
Heading 7502
Nickel mattes and oxide sinters
Intermediate metallurgy products are not finished bars, rods, profiles or wire.
Heading 7501
Other articles of nickel
Finished nickel articles not covered by earlier headings go to 7508.

Frequently asked questions

What is the HTS code for cold-formed nickel alloy bars?

Cold-formed bars and rods of nickel alloys are classified under 7505.12.10.00, with a general (MFN) rate of 3%.

What is the duty on non-alloyed nickel wire that is not cold-formed?

Non-alloyed nickel wire that is not cold-formed is classified under 7505.21.50.00, with a general (MFN) rate of 2.6%.

How do I classify nickel profiles?

Profiles of nickel, not alloyed, go under 7505.11.50.00 at a general (MFN) rate of 3%; profiles of nickel alloys go under 7505.12.50.00 at a general (MFN) rate of 3%.
