Sourcing this category from India

Chapter 75 covers nickel and articles of nickel. India is largely an importer of primary nickel, with limited exports of nickel articles and alloys. The chapter classifies the metal by form — unwrought nickel, powders, bars, wire, plates, tubes and fittings — and separates primary material from semi-finished and finished nickel products.

How to read this code

75 is the two-digit HS chapter for nickel and articles thereof. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many base metals & articles lines — check our import guides for your market.
