Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 750300 when importing or exporting nickel waste and scrap. This code applies to materials that are not in a usable form but can be recycled or processed for further use. For instance, if you are shipping old nickel batteries or scrap nickel from manufacturing processes, this is the correct classification.

This HS-6 line specifically covers nickel waste and scrap, distinguishing it from other nickel products like pure nickel or nickel alloys. If you have nickel bars or sheets, those would fall under different HS codes, such as HS-6 7502 for unwrought nickel.

Nickel waste and scrap can include a variety of forms, such as shavings, turnings, or even discarded nickel components. It’s important to ensure that the material is indeed scrap and not a finished product to avoid misclassification.

When dealing with nickel waste, consider the end-use of the material. If it’s intended for recycling, it falls under this code. However, if you are exporting nickel in a more refined state, you will need to look at other classifications.
