HS Code 7505.11 – Nickel; bars, rods and profiles, not alloyed
HS code 7505.11 is the 6-digit subheading for nickel, bars, rods and profiles, not alloyed. It is used for pure nickel round bars, unalloyed nickel rods, square nickel profiles, hexagonal nickel bars and flat nickel bars.
What HS 7505.11 covers
This category covers semi-finished products of pure, unalloyed nickel, specifically in the form of bars, rods, and profiles. These shapes are typically produced by hot rolling, extrusion, or drawing from unwrought nickel. They serve as essential building blocks for manufacturing components where high purity, corrosion resistance, and specific mechanical properties of pure nickel are required. Industries such as chemical processing, electronics, and specialized engineering often import these products. Major importers include countries with advanced manufacturing sectors like Germany, the United States, Japan, and China. Exporters are typically nations with robust metallurgical industries capable of producing high-quality semi-finished nickel products, such as Canada, Russia, and various European countries. Key considerations in trade include dimensional tolerances, surface finish, and certification of purity, as these products are often used in critical applications.

Codes often confused with 7505.11
Common mistake. This code is distinguished from unwrought unalloyed nickel (750210) by its shaped form, and from bars, rods, and profiles of nickel alloys (750512) by the absence of alloying elements.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 750511, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 750511 in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 31% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Saudi Arabia, with 26% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
