U.S. exports of nickel alloy plates, sheets, strip, and foil (HS 750620) totaled $59.6M in July 2026.
Importers of Nickel Alloy Plates, Sheets, Strip, and Foil paid $1.3M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $12.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Nickel Alloy Plates, Sheets, Strip, and Foil imports of $14.4M in July 2026 ran 23% above the year-to-date monthly average of $11.7M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFlat-rolled nickel alloy products — plates, sheets, strip, and foil — serve corrosion-resistant and high-temperature applications in chemical processing, electronics, and battery manufacturing. Thickness drives classification within the heading: foil (7506205000) is distinguished from sheet and strip, and cold-formed flat products (7506201000) are separated from non-cold-formed equivalents (7506203000), with a dedicated line for material not exceeding 0.15 mm thick (7506200500). Japan leads US supply, followed by Germany and South Korea, reflecting those countries' advanced specialty metals rolling capabilities. Section 232 tariffs apply to nickel mill products, and importers should confirm current quota arrangements by country.

Customs practice generally treats foil as flat-rolled nickel alloy material of very thin gauge — the US schedule specifically identifies material not exceeding 0.15 mm thick under 7506200500 and foil under 7506205000. Strip typically refers to narrower-width flat-rolled product in coil form at heavier gauges. Importers should reference the actual measured thickness and width, supported by mill certificates, when determining the correct 10-digit line.
South Korea's specialty metals industry produces nickel alloy sheet and strip for electronics and battery applications, and imports from South Korea may benefit from KORUS FTA preferential duty treatment depending on the specific tariff line and rules-of-origin qualification. However, Section 232 tariff exposure and any applicable quota arrangements must be evaluated separately, as trade-remedy measures interact with FTA preferences in ways that require case-by-case analysis.
