HTS heading 7506 is a broad product category for nickel plates, sheets, strip, and foil. It groups flat nickel products together based mainly on their physical form, rather than treating each thickness, alloy, or commercial description as a separate heading.
To choose the specific 8-digit subheading, start with the product’s objective characteristics. The subheadings may distinguish the nickel material or alloy, product type, and technical features such as thickness or other specifications. Compare the product closely with the wording and legal notes in the current HTS, and do not rely only on a supplier’s description or an internal SKU name.
What to check
- Confirm that the item is a flat nickel product—not wire, tube, powder, or another form classified elsewhere.
- Record the composition, including nickel content and any alloying elements, using a mill certificate or material specification.
- Measure and document the product’s thickness, width, length, and whether it is supplied as plate, sheet, strip, or foil.
- Check the current 8-digit subheading descriptions, section and chapter notes, and any relevant classification guidance.
- Have a customs broker or trade specialist review borderline cases, especially when the material is an alloy or the product description 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.
