7506.10.05.00 - Not exceeding 0.15 mm in thickness

This HTS classification pertains to nickel plates, sheets, strip, and foil that are specifically characterized by a maximum thickness not exceeding 0.15 millimeters. These forms of nickel are typically utilized in applications where thinness and flexibility are paramount, such as in battery components, specialized electronic parts, or as a bonding or cladding material in intricate manufacturing processes. The material must be primarily nickel and not alloyed with other base metals in a manner that would change its fundamental classification under Chapter 75.

This specific classification distinguishes itself from other categories at the same level by its precise thickness limitation. For instance, it differentiates from "Other" categories under "Of nickel, not alloyed" which would encompass nickel plates, sheets, strip, and foil with thicknesses greater than 0.15 mm. The emphasis on this sub-millimeter dimension is a key criterion for accurate import and export declarations.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under HTS code 7506.10.05.00 is definitive once the material is confirmed to be nickel, not alloyed, in plate, sheet, strip, or foil form, and its thickness is verified to be 0.15 mm or less. This precise definition ensures consistent application of customs duties and trade statistics for these very thin forms of nickel.
