Product classification
HS code for Nickel screen: 7508.10
Nickel, cloth, grill and netting, of nickel wire.
Classification of nickel screen under HS 7508.10
Nickel screens, including cloth, grill, and netting made from nickel wire, are classified under HS code 7508.10. This classification is determined by the manufacturing process and the resulting structure of the material. These products are created by weaving, interlacing, or welding nickel wire to form a mesh or grid. They are widely used in industrial filtration, chemical processing, and as support structures in battery electrodes. The classification falls under "Other articles of nickel," specifically identifying wire-based structures. Because the primary component is nickel wire, the durability and chemical resistance of the screen are the defining characteristics that justify its placement within Chapter 75 rather than general textile or machinery chapters.

Codes often confused with 7508.10
Common mistake. A common misclassification involves perforated nickel sheets, which are often classified under 7506 (plates, sheets, and strip) rather than 7508.10. While both can function as screens, 7508.10 is specific to products made from wire. Another error is classifying finished filters as 7508.10; if the screen is part of a clearly identifiable machinery component, it might be classified under 8421 as part of a filtering or purifying apparatus. Finally, screens made of nickel alloys are still generally classified here, as the heading does not distinguish between alloyed and unalloyed wire products.

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).
