Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7504 when importing nickel powders and flakes, such as fine nickel dust used in batteries or nickel flakes for electroplating. This classification is crucial for ensuring compliance and accurate duty assessments.

When deciding between HS-6 750400, consider the specific form of nickel you are importing. If your shipment includes powdered nickel for industrial applications, this code applies directly. However, if you have a different nickel product, you may need to explore other classifications.
