Notes
(c) In this section the term “alloys” includes sintered mixtures of metal powders, heterogeneous intimate mixtures obtained
by melting (other than cements) and intermetallic compounds.
6.- Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in the Nomenclature to a base metal includes a reference to alloys which,
by virtue of Note above , are to be classified as alloys of that metal.
7.-Classification of composite articles:
Except where the headings otherwise require, articles of base metal (including articles of mixed materials treated as articles of
base metal under the General Interpretative Rules) containing two or more base metals are to be treated as articles of the base
metal predominating by weight over each of the other metals. For this purpose:
(a) Iron and steel, or different kinds of iron or steel, are regarded as one and the same metal;
(b) An alloy is regarded as being entirely composed of that metal as an alloy of which by virtue of Note 5, it is classified; and

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.
Wire-bars and billets of Chapter 74 with their ends tapered or otherwise worked simply to facilitate their entry into
machines for converting them into, for example, drawing stock (wire-rod) or tubes, are however to be taken to be
unwrought copper of heading 74.03. This provision applies mutatis mutandis to the products of Chapter 81.
(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.

Headings for plates, sheets, strip, and foil 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 polygons, and
which have a uniform wall thickness. Products with a rectangular (including square), equilateral triangular or regular

circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), triangles or other 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). These products may have indentations, ribs, grooves or other deformations produced during the rolling
process (reinforcing bars and rods).
(o) Wire
Cold-formed products in coils, of any uniform solid cross-section along their whole length, which do not conform to
thedefinition of flat- rolled products.
3.-Iron or steel products obtained by electrolytic deposition, by pressure casting or by sintering are to be classified, according to

2.-For the classification of ferro-alloys in the subheadings of heading of heading 72.02 the following rule should be observed:
A ferro-alloy is considered as binary and classified under the relevant subheading (if it exists) if only one of the alloy elements
exceeds the minimum percentage laid down in Chapter Note 1(c); by analogy, it is consideredrespectively as ternary or
quaternary if two or three alloy elements exceed the minimum percentage.
For the application of this rule the unspecified “other elements” referred to in Chapter Note 1(c) must each exceed 10% by
weight.
