HS Code 7506.20 – Nickel; plates, sheets, strip and foil, of nickel alloys
HS code 7506.20 is the 6-digit subheading for nickel, plates, sheets, strip and foil, of nickel alloys. It is used for inconel 625 sheets, monel 400 plates, hastelloy C-276 strips, nickel 200 foil and waspaloy sheets.
What HS 7506.20 covers
This HS code encompasses semi-finished forms of nickel alloys, including plates, sheets, strip, and foil, which are critical materials in high-performance industrial applications. These alloys are highly valued in international trade for their exceptional corrosion resistance, superior strength at elevated temperatures, and unique magnetic or electrical properties. Key importers are industries such as aerospace, chemical processing, power generation, and electronics, where components must withstand extreme operational environments. Exporters typically originate from countries with advanced metallurgical capabilities and access to nickel refining, like Germany, the USA, and Japan. Trade often involves stringent material specifications, certifications (e.g., ASTM, ASME), and precise dimensional tolerances. The global supply chain is specialized, frequently involving direct manufacturer-to-end-user relationships or specialized distributors, with demand driven by continuous technological advancements requiring more durable and efficient materials.

Codes often confused with 7506.20
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 750610 (non-alloyed nickel plates, sheets, etc.) due to similar forms, but the key distinction lies in the alloy content. It can also be mistaken for 750400 (nickel powders and flakes) if the material is in a very fine, non-solid form.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 750620, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 750620 in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 30% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Austria, with 11% 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 that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
