HS code for Nickel mesh: 7508.10
Nickel, cloth, grill and netting, of nickel wire.
Classification of nickel mesh under HS 7508.10
Nickel mesh is classified under HS code 7508.10. This code is designated for cloth, grill, and netting made of nickel wire. Under the Harmonized System, articles made of nickel that are not specifically mentioned in previous headings of Chapter 75 (such as pipes, tubes, or wire) fall under the "Other articles" heading 7508. Subheading 7508.10 is the specific provision for mesh-like structures. The classification is determined by the manufacturing process—weaving or interlocking nickel wire—and the material composition, which must be predominantly nickel by weight. This classification applies regardless of the mesh size or the specific industrial application, provided the base material is nickel wire and the product has not been further fabricated into a specific finished tool or machine part.

Codes often confused with 7508.10
Common mistake. Nickel mesh is often misclassified under HS code 7314, which covers cloth, grill, and netting of iron or steel. It is essential to verify the base metal composition, as even a small percentage of nickel in a steel alloy might lead to confusion, but pure nickel or nickel-base alloy mesh must stay in Chapter 75. Additionally, it may be confused with nickel wire under 7505.21; however, once the wire is woven or processed into a mesh, it must be classified under 7508.10.

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).
