About HS Code 750610

This category covers pure, unalloyed nickel in the form of plates, sheets, strip, and foil. These flat products are manufactured through rolling processes and are highly valued for their excellent corrosion resistance, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and ductility. They are essential materials for a wide range of applications, including chemical processing equipment, battery casings, electronic components, coinage, and architectural cladding. Major importers are countries with robust manufacturing industries, particularly in electronics, automotive, and chemical sectors, such as China, the United States, Germany, and Japan. Exporters typically include nations with advanced rolling mills and access to high-purity nickel, such as Canada, Russia, and various European countries. Key trade considerations involve thickness, width, surface finish, flatness, and compliance with specific industry standards, as these products are often integrated into complex systems.

Products Under This Code

Pure nickel sheets, Unalloyed nickel plates, Nickel strip for batteries, Pure nickel foil, Rolled pure nickel sheets, Nickel shims, Nickel cladding material

Real World Examples

VDM Metals pure nickel sheet, Special Metals pure nickel strip, Sumitomo Metal Mining nickel foil, ATI pure nickel plate

Common Misclassification

This code is distinct from unwrought unalloyed nickel (750210) by its shaped, flat form, and from plates, sheets, strip, and foil of nickel alloys (e.g., 750620) by the absence of alloying elements.

Industry

This code belongs to the Metals & Metal Products industry.

Trade Overview

China, the United States, and Germany are top importers, while Canada, Russia, and Japan are significant exporters.
