Cupro-nickel containing more than 40% by weight of nickel

Unwrought cupro-nickel alloy with more than 40% nickel

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7502 20 10 (unwrought cupro-nickel containing more than 40% by weight of nickel) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other nickel alloy forms or compositions within Chapter 75, or downstream wrought nickel products, may fall under different tariff lines that carry their own compliance requirements.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to unwrought cupro-nickel with a nickel content exceeding 40% by weight; a shift in alloy composition, nickel percentage, or product form — say, wrought bars, plates, or tubes — moves the goods into a different tariff line within Chapter 75 and may attract applicable standards or licensing. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the precise nickel content, alloy designation, and physical form against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
