Product classification
HS code for Nickel pipe: 7507.11
Nickel, tubes and pipes, not alloyed.
Classification of nickel pipe under HS 7507.11
Nickel pipes and tubes of non-alloyed nickel are classified under HS code 7507.11. This classification is based on the product's physical form—specifically, a hollow conduit with a uniform wall thickness—and its material composition. To qualify for this code, the nickel content must be at least 99% by weight, meeting the definition of "not alloyed" as per the Harmonized System's legal notes for Chapter 75. These products are essential in industrial applications requiring high corrosion resistance, such as chemical processing and marine engineering. The classification covers both seamless and welded varieties, provided they are not further worked into specific identifiable articles or fitted with specialized attachments that would move them to a different category.

Codes often confused with 7507.11
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 7507.12, which is designated for pipes and tubes made of nickel alloys (such as Monel or Inconel). Importers must verify the nickel purity; if the nickel content is less than 99% or contains alloying elements exceeding the limits defined in Note 1(b) to Chapter 75, it must be moved to 7507.12. Additionally, pipe fittings like elbows, sleeves, or flanges are classified under 7507.20, regardless of whether they are alloyed or not.
Top exporters and importers of HS 750711 (the code used for nickel pipe), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 750711 (the code used for nickel pipe) in UN Comtrade data was Italy, with 24% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United Arab Emirates, with about 15% 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).
