Nickel screen

Nickel screen, a perforated or woven nickel article

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7508 90 30 (Nickel screen) 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 articles of nickel — particularly nickel electrodes, nickel-based alloy components, or nickel powder — may fall under separate tariff lines within Chapter 75 that carry distinct compliance considerations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: nickel screens used as electrodes in electrochemical or fuel-cell applications, or woven nickel fabric classified as a textile article under Chapter 59, may attract a different tariff line with associated compliance. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Confirm the product's end-use, physical form, and material composition against the customs tariff before filing.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7508 90 30 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 nickel screen is used as an electrode or in a filtration assembly?

End-use or form may shift classification to a more specific tariff line within Chapter 75 or an adjacent chapter, potentially attracting compliance obligations that do not apply to the bare nickel screen.
