HS HEADING 7505

Nickel; bars, rods, profiles and wire

In plain English

This category covers nickel in the form of bars, rods, profiles, and wire. The items are separated based on whether they are made of pure nickel or a nickel alloy. Bars, rods, and profiles are classified according to their composition, as are the wires. Each specific type is distinguished by being either unalloyed or composed of an alloy.
