U.S. imports of nickel alloy plates, sheets, strip & foil (HS 750620) totaled $11.6M in April 2026, traded with 17 countries.
Importers of Nickel Alloy Plates, Sheets, Strip & Foil paid $1.2M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $10.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Nickel Alloy Plates, Sheets, Strip & Foil imports of $11.6M in April 2026 ran 10% above the year-to-date monthly average of $10.5M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataNickel-alloy flat-rolled products — including high-performance grades such as Inconel, Hastelloy, and Monel — are critical inputs for aerospace, chemical processing, and power-generation equipment that demand corrosion and heat resistance beyond what unalloyed nickel provides. Japan and Germany dominate US supply under this heading, with South Korea and France also significant sources, reflecting the concentration of specialty alloy rolling mills in those countries. The US schedule mirrors the unalloyed structure, splitting by thickness (foil ≤0.15 mm at 7506200500), forming method (cold-formed at 7506201000 and 7506201500 versus non-cold-formed at 7506203000), and alloy foil (7506205000). Section 232 tariff exposure applies to these products, making origin and exclusion status a routine due-diligence item.

Under Chapter 75, 'nickel alloys' are defined as metallic alloys in which nickel predominates by weight over each other element. Even a small addition of chromium, molybdenum, or copper that tips the composition to alloy status moves the product from heading 7506.10 to 7506.20, which can affect both duty treatment and any applicable trade-remedy measures.
Both countries host major specialty alloy producers with decades of investment in vacuum-melting and precision rolling technology required for aerospace and chemical-grade nickel alloys. Their established mill certifications and long-term supply agreements with US OEMs reinforce their dominant position, making supply diversification a longer-term project for procurement teams.
