Aluminium
and articles thereof
Notes:
1. In this Chapter the following expressions have the
meaning 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 of 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 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 7601), 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:
i) - of rectangular (including square) shape with a
thickness not exceeding one-tenth of the width,
ii) - 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.
Headings 7606 and 7607 apply, 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 polygonals, 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, collar or rings.
Sub-heading notes:-
1. In this Chapter the following expressions have the
meanings hereby assigned to them:
(a) Aluminium, not alloyed
Metal containing by weight at least 99% of aluminium,
provided that the content by weight of any other element does not exceed
the limit specified in the following table:
| TABLE – Other elements |
|
| |
Element |
Limiting content %
by weight |
|
| Fe + Si |
(iron plus silicon) |
1 |
| Other elements (1) each |
0.1 (2) |
|
| (1) Other elements are, for example,
Cr, Cu, Mg, Mn, Ni, Zn |
| (2) Copper is permitted in a proportion
greater than 0.1% but not more than 0.2%, provided that neither
the chromium nor manganese content exceeds 0.05% |
|
(b) Aluminium alloys
Metallic substances in which aluminium predominates
by weight over each of the other elements, provided that:
(i) the content by weight of at least one of the other
elements or of iron plus silicon taken together is greater than the
limit specified in the foregoing table; or
(ii) the total content by weight of such other elements exceeds 1%.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Chapter Note 1(c), for the purposes of sub-heading 7616 91 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.
