U.S. imports of nickel alloy bars, rods & profiles (HS 750512) totaled $20.8M in April 2026, traded with 20 countries.
Importers of Nickel Alloy Bars, Rods & Profiles paid $2.7M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $17.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Nickel Alloy Bars, Rods & Profiles imports of $20.8M in April 2026 ran 10% above the year-to-date monthly average of $18.9M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBars, rods, and profiles of nickel alloys — including high-performance grades such as Inconel, Hastelloy, and Waspaloy — are precision-worked forms used extensively in aerospace turbine components, oil and gas downhole tools, and chemical processing equipment where elevated temperature strength and oxidation resistance are paramount. The US schedule separates cold-formed bars and rods (7505121000), non-cold-formed bars and rods (7505123000), and profiles (7505125000), with the alloy composition and forming method both relevant to specification compliance. Germany leads US import supply, with Australia and the United Kingdom also significant sources, reflecting the concentration of specialty alloy melting and forging capacity in those countries. Certified material test reports (CMTRs) conforming to ASTM or AMS standards are typically required by end-users and should accompany shipments.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Under HTS nomenclature, bars and rods have solid cross-sections that are circular, rectangular, hexagonal, or other regular polygonal shapes, while profiles have cross-sections other than those shapes — such as T, I, H, or custom extruded forms. If the cross-section is a standard geometric shape, the product classifies as a bar or rod; irregular or complex cross-sections classify as profiles (7505125000). The supplier's dimensional drawing is the most reliable classification support.
While US customs entry does not itself mandate aerospace traceability documentation, end-use qualification under NADCAP, AS9100, or OEM-specific requirements typically requires full material traceability from melt heat to finished bar, including CMTRs, heat numbers, and chemical and mechanical test data. Importers supplying aerospace customers should ensure that foreign mill documentation is complete and transferable before the goods ship, as gaps discovered after arrival can delay or prevent acceptance.
