Heading 7501 — Nickel mattes; nickel oxide sinters and other intermediate products of nickel metallurgy
Chapter 75: Nickel and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 750110 when importing or exporting nickel mattes, which are intermediate products in nickel metallurgy. For example, if you're shipping a batch of nickel matte produced from nickel ore, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers nickel mattes, which are typically produced through smelting processes and contain a high percentage of nickel. In contrast, HS-6 750120 covers nickel oxide sinters, which are different intermediate products used in nickel production.
Nickel mattes are often used in the production of refined nickel and can be found in various forms, such as granules or lumps. They are essential for manufacturers looking to produce high-purity nickel for electronics or batteries.
When considering classification, be aware that nickel mattes differ from raw nickel ore or finished nickel products. Ensure your shipment aligns with the descriptions under this HS-6 to avoid customs issues.
