Last updated: April 2026 dataWoven and welded mesh products made from nickel wire serve highly specialized filtration, catalyst support, and electrochemical applications — including fuel cell electrodes and industrial catalyst beds — where nickel's corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity are both required. Switzerland and Germany are the leading US suppliers, reflecting the precision wire-weaving expertise concentrated in those countries. All imports enter under the single tariff line 7508100000. Section 232 tariff exposure applies, and buyers should verify mesh aperture and wire diameter specifications carefully, as minor dimensional differences can affect both technical performance and classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Wire cloth (7508.10) is made by weaving or otherwise interlacing drawn nickel wire, producing a textile-like mesh structure. Expanded metal and perforated sheet are made by cutting or punching a solid nickel sheet and would be classified under the plates and sheets heading (7506) rather than 7508.10. The manufacturing process — woven wire versus mechanically worked sheet — is the key classification criterion.
The primary end uses are industrial catalyst support screens in chemical and petrochemical reactors, filtration media for corrosive fluids in pharmaceutical and food processing, and electrode components in electrochemical cells and fuel cells. These applications require tight aperture tolerances and certified nickel purity, which is why Swiss and German precision weavers dominate supply.
