NICKEL
AND ARTICLES THEREOF |

Note. |
| |
1.
In this Chapter the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned
to them: |
| |
(a)
Bars and rods |
| |
Rolled,
extruded, drawn or forged products, not in coils, which have a uniform solid
cross- section along their whole length in the shape of circles, ovals,
rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex
polygons (including “flattened circles” and “modified rectangles”, of which
two opposite sides are convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of
equal length and parallel). Products with a rectangular (including square),
triangular or polygonal cross-section may have corners rounded along their
whole length. The thickness of such products which have a rectangular
(including “modified rectangular”) cross-section exceeds one-tenth of the
width. The expression also covers cast or sintered products, of the same
forms and dimensions, which have been subsequently worked after production
(otherwise than by simple trimming or de-scaling), provided that they have
not thereby assumed the character of articles or products of other headings. |
| |
(b)
Profiles |
| |
Rolled,
extruded, drawn, forged or formed products, coiled or not, of a uniform
cross-section along their whole length, which do not conform to any of the
definitions of bars, rods, wire, plates, sheets, strip, foil, tubes or pipes.
The expression also covers cast or sintered products, of the same forms,
which have been subsequently worked after production (otherwise than by
simple trimming or de-scaling), provided that they have not thereby assumed
the character of articles or products of other headings. |
| |
(c)
Wire |
| |
Rolled,
extruded or drawn products, in coils, which have a uniform solid
cross-section along their whole length in the shape of circles, ovals,
rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex
polygons (including “flattened circles” and “modified rectangles”, of which
two opposite sides are convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of
equal length and parallel). Products with a rectangular (including square),
triangular or polygonal cross-section may have corners rounded along their
whole length. The thickness of such products which have a rectangular
(including “modified rectangular”) cross-section exceeds one-tenth of the
width. |
| |
(d)
Plates, sheets, strip and foil |
| |
Flat-surfaced
products (other than the unwrought products of heading 75.02), coiled or not,
of solid rectangular (other than square) cross- section with or without
rounded corners (including “modified rectangles” of which two opposite sides
are convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equal length and
parallel) of a uniform thickness, which are: |
| |
-
of rectangular (including square) shape with a thickness not exceeding
one-tenth of the width, |
| |
-
of a shape other than rectangular or square, of any size, provided that they
do not assume the character of articles or products of other headings. |
| |
Heading
75.06 applies, inter alia, to
plates, sheets, strip and foil with patterns (for example, grooves, ribs,
chequers, tears, buttons, lozenges) and to such products which have been
perforated, corrugated, polished or coated, provided that they do not thereby
assume the character of articles or products of other headings. |
| |
(e)
Tubes and pipes |
| |
Hollow
products, coiled or not, which have a uniform cross-section with only one
enclosed void along their whole length in the shape of circles, ovals,
rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex
polygons, and which have a uniform wall thickness. Products with a
rectangular (including square), equilateral triangular, or regular convex
polygonal cross- section, which may have corners rounded along their whole
length, are also to be considered as tubes and pipes provided the inner and
outer cross- sections are concentric and have the same form and orientation.
Tubes and pipes of the foregoing cross-sections may be polished, coated,
bent, threaded, drilled, waisted, expanded, cone-shaped or fitted with
flanges, collars or rings. |

Notes. |
| |
1.
In this Chapter the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned
to them: |
| |
(a)
Nickel, not alloyed |
| |
Metal
containing by weight at least 99 % of nickel plus cobalt, provided that: |
| |
(i)
the cobalt content by weight does not exceed 1.5 %, and |
| |
(ii)
the content by weight of any other element does not exceed the limit
specified in the following table: |
| |
TABLE
- Other elements |
| |
(b)
Nickel alloys |
| |
Metallic
substances in which nickel predominates by weight over each of the other
elements provided that: |
| |
(i)
the content by weight of cobalt exceeds 1.5 %, |
| |
(ii)
the content by weight of at least one of the other elements is greater than
the limit specified in the foregoing table, or |
| |
(iii)
the total content by weight of elements other than nickel plus cobalt exceeds
1 %. |
| |
2.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Chapter Note 1 (c), for the purposes of
subheading 7508.10 the term “wire” applies only to products, whether or not
in coils, of any cross-sectional shape, of which no cross-sectional dimension
exceeds 6 mm. |
