7507.11.00.00 - Of nickel, not alloyed

This HTS category, 7507.11.00.00, specifically encompasses tubes and pipes made from nickel that is not alloyed. This means the material composition is primarily pure nickel, without the intentional addition of other elements to alter its properties. These items are essentially hollow cylindrical forms used for the conveyance of fluids or gases, manufactured entirely from unalloyed nickel. Examples would include seamless or welded tubes and pipes made solely of nickel, often used in specialized industrial applications where high purity and resistance to certain corrosive environments are paramount.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 7507.12.00.00, which covers tubes and pipes made of nickel alloys. The defining characteristic here is the absence of alloying elements. While both subcategories fall under nickel tubes and pipes, the material composition is the sole differentiator. If a tube or pipe contains even a small percentage of added elements like chromium, iron, or copper, intended to enhance its strength, corrosion resistance, or other properties, it would be classified under the alloyed category.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within 7507.11.00.00 remains on confirming the product is a tube or pipe and that its material is exclusively unalloyed nickel, as opposed to nickel alloys or other base metals. This ensures accurate import and export declarations by accurately reflecting the precise material composition of the nickel tubular goods.
