Overview
This HTS classification covers pure nickel that has not been mixed with other metals to form alloys. It is specifically intended for nickel in its unwrought state, meaning it has not yet been further processed into finished or semi-finished articles. Examples of unwrought nickel within this category include refined nickel in the form of anodes, cathodes, pellets, briquettes, or powders, provided they consist of at least 99% nickel by weight and do not contain alloying elements that would qualify them for other classifications.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 7502.20.00.00, which covers nickel alloys. While both relate to unwrought nickel, this classification strictly applies to nickel that is not alloyed. Therefore, any unwrought nickel containing even a small percentage of other metals intentionally added to modify its properties will fall under the nickel alloys heading, not this one.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under this specific HTS code. Classification under 7502.10.00.00 hinges on the purity of the nickel. Goods classified here meet the criteria for pure, unwrought nickel, ready for subsequent manufacturing processes.
