HTS heading 7505 is a four-digit product category for nickel bars, rods, profiles, and wire. It groups these forms of nickel products together based mainly on their physical shape and their composition. It does not by itself identify the final tariff classification or duty treatment.
To reach a specific eight-digit U.S. HTS code, start with the product’s form, then follow the applicable subheading breakdown. The lower-level codes may distinguish types of nickel, including whether the material is alloyed, and may use additional technical descriptions. Confirm the product’s exact composition, dimensions, manufacturing method, and condition against the wording and notes for the relevant subheading.
What to check
- Identify whether the product is a bar, rod, profile, or wire, and document its dimensions and cross-sectional shape.
- Confirm the nickel content and any alloying elements using a mill certificate, material specification, or laboratory information.
- Read the full six-digit and eight-digit descriptions under heading 7505; do not classify from the heading title alone.
- Check the HTS section, chapter, and subheading notes for definitions, exclusions, or special treatment that may affect classification.
- Ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling when the product’s form, alloy composition, or intended classification is ambiguous.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
