7504.00.00.10 - Powders

This HTS category, 7504.00.00.10, specifically covers nickel in the form of powder. This means finely divided particles of nickel, typically produced through atomization or chemical processes. These powders are characterized by their small particle size and are often used as raw materials in various industrial applications.

It is important to distinguish this classification from its sibling, 7504.00.00.50, which covers nickel in flake form. While both are forms of divided nickel, powders consist of discrete, fine particles, whereas flakes are thin, irregular pieces. The physical form is the primary differentiator for classification at this level.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for nickel powders. Classification within this heading is based solely on the material being nickel and its specific physical form as powder. Therefore, any nickel material conforming to the definition of powder falls under this code.
