U.S. imports of Unwrought Unalloyed Nickel (HS 750210) totaled $120.0M in August 2026, imported from 15 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataUnalloyed unwrought nickel — the primary refined metal form traded before alloying or fabrication — is a critical input for stainless steel production, battery cathode materials, and specialty alloys used in aerospace and chemical processing. Canada is the dominant US supplier under this heading, reflecting integrated North American mining and refining infrastructure, with Norway and South Africa also significant sources. The single US tariff line (7502100000) covers all unalloyed unwrought forms, and supply concentration among a small number of mining jurisdictions makes this heading sensitive to production disruptions and price volatility.

Unwrought unalloyed nickel includes cathodes, pellets, briquettes, rounds, and similar primary metal forms that have not been further worked by rolling, drawing, or forging. Nickel powder, nickel oxide sinters, and fabricated forms such as bars or wire classify in other headings.
HTS Chapter 75 separates unalloyed nickel (750210) from nickel alloys (750220) at the heading level because alloyed unwrought nickel commands different duty treatment and serves distinct downstream industries. Even small additions of alloying elements — copper, cobalt, or iron — can shift classification, so laboratory certification of composition is standard practice for customs entry.
