Analysis
Subheading 7506.10 covers of nickel, not alloyed, within heading 7506. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 2.5% to 3% with a median of 2.5%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7506.10.05 for not exceeding 0.15 mm in thickness (2.5%), 7506.10.10 for other: cold-formed (3%) and 7506.10.30 for other: not cold-formed (2.5%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (331491) and All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (332999). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
