Mechanical forming operations — rolling, drawing, and extruding — applied to nonferrous metals other than copper and aluminum define this NAICS segment, producing semi-fabricated shapes such as sheet, strip, bar, rod, wire, and tube from metals including zinc, nickel, titanium, lead, and tin. These intermediate products are critical inputs for aerospace fasteners, medical devices, electronics connectors, and industrial equipment. Importers of competing foreign mill products in this category should be aware that certain nickel and titanium product forms have attracted antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings, making HTS classification and country of origin determinations particularly consequential.
