Cloth, grill and netting, of nickel wire

Nickel wire cloth, grill, and netting

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7508 10 00 (cloth, grill, and netting of nickel wire) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles of nickel classified elsewhere in Chapter 75 — or nickel alloy products that cross into Chapter 74 or Chapter 81 — may attract distinct compliance obligations depending on composition and form.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: nickel-alloy wire cloth or filter mesh incorporating other base metals may be re-classified into a different chapter on customs examination, triggering retrospective compliance. Importers should confirm the nickel purity and product form against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry, and retain mill test certificates to substantiate the declared classification.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7508 10 00 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the wire cloth is made from a nickel alloy rather than pure nickel?

Nickel alloy wire cloth may be re-classified into a different heading within Chapter 75 or into another base metals chapter, which could attract compliance obligations not applicable to this tariff line.
