U.S. exports of Nickel Mattes (HS 750110) totaled $34K in August 2026, exported to 2 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataNickel matte is a sulfide intermediate produced during pyrometallurgical smelting of nickel ore, typically containing 60–75% nickel, and serves as a key feedstock for nickel refining operations. Classified under a single 10-digit line (7501100000), it is subject to Section 232 tariffs as a nickel-bearing article of strategic metals concern. China leads US import supply, followed by Saudi Arabia and Japan, reflecting the global distribution of nickel smelting capacity. Importers should confirm the matte's nickel content and processing origin to ensure correct classification and avoid misclassification as a nickel oxide sinter or other intermediate product.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Nickel matte is a sulfide-based intermediate produced by smelting nickel concentrates, while nickel oxide sinter is an oxide-based intermediate produced by roasting or sintering. The distinction is material-form driven: sulfide mattes classify under 7501100000, whereas oxide sinters and other metallurgical intermediates fall under 7501200000. Lab analysis of sulfur content and phase composition is often used to support the classification.
Nickel and nickel-bearing products can be subject to Section 232 tariffs. Importers should verify current applicability at the time of entry, as exclusions and country-specific arrangements may affect the duty treatment for specific origins.
