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 80.01), 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. |
| |
(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. |

(b)
Tin alloys |

Metallic
substances in which tin predominates by weight over each of the other
elements, provided that: |
| |
(i)
the total content by weight of such other elements exceeds 1 %; or |
| |
(ii)
the content by weight of either bismuth or copper is equal to or greater than
the limit specified in the foregoing table. |
