U.S. imports of nickel alloy wire (HS 750522) totaled $22.5M in July 2026, traded with 24 countries.
Importers of Nickel Alloy Wire paid $2.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $19.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Nickel Alloy Wire imports of $22.5M in July 2026 ran 28% above the year-to-date monthly average of $17.6M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataNickel alloy wire — drawn from alloy rod compositions such as Inconel, Monel, Nichrome, or other nickel-base systems — serves demanding applications including resistance heating elements, surgical instruments, aerospace fastener wire, and high-temperature sensor leads. The US schedule splits this heading into cold-formed (7505221000) and non-cold-formed (7505225000) alloy wire, with cold drawing the standard commercial route for most fine-gauge products. France and Sweden lead US import supply, reflecting Europe's strong specialty alloy wire-drawing industry. The alloy designation and nominal composition should be stated on the commercial invoice, as the specific nickel-alloy system affects both end-use qualification and, in some cases, applicable trade-remedy exposure.

Classification in Chapter 75 requires that nickel be the predominant metal by weight. Standard Nichrome-type alloys (approximately 80% nickel, 20% chromium) classify in Chapter 75 as nickel alloy wire. If chromium or iron were to predominate by weight, the product could shift to Chapter 72 (iron and steel) or Chapter 81 (other base metals). A certified chemical analysis confirming nickel predominance is the key document for supporting Chapter 75 classification.
ASTM B164 (Monel/nickel-copper alloy wire), ASTM B166 (Inconel/nickel-chromium-iron alloy wire), and AMS specifications for aerospace-grade alloy wire are the most frequently cited standards in US commercial practice. Importers supplying industrial or aerospace customers should confirm which specification applies to the ordered grade, as the standard governs chemical composition limits, mechanical property requirements, and dimensional tolerances that must be documented on the CMTR.
