7505.22.50.00 - Not cold-formed

This HTS category, 7505.22.50.00, specifically classifies nickel alloy wire that has not undergone a cold-forming process. This includes wire that has been produced through hot rolling, extrusion, or other thermal working methods, distinguishing it from wire that has been mechanically deformed at ambient temperatures. The wire will be composed of nickel alloys, meaning it contains nickel as its principal constituent along with one or more other elements, imparting specific properties.

The key differentiator for this subcategory is the absence of cold-forming. Its sibling category, 7505.22.10.00, covers "Cold-formed" wire. Therefore, classification into 7505.22.50.00 hinges on the manufacturing process. Wire classified here will retain characteristics that are a direct result of hot working, such as a potentially less smooth surface finish or different mechanical properties compared to its cold-formed counterpart.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions within this specific code. Classification at this level is definitive for nickel alloy wire that is not cold-formed. Examples of such wire could include hot-rolled nickel alloy strands used in industrial applications or extruded nickel alloy wires where the final dimensions are achieved through elevated temperature processing.
