Section 0

Products roughly cast in the form of ingots without feeder-heads or hot tops, or of pigs, having obvious surface faults and not complying with the chemical composition of pig iron, spiegeleisen or ferro-alloys.

Products of which less than 90% by weight passes through a sieve with a mesh aperture of 1 mm and of which 90% or more by weight passes through a sieve with a mesh aperture of 5 mm.

Continuous cast products of solid section, whether or not subjected to primary hot-rolling; and

Other products of solid section, which have not been further worked than subjected to primary hot-rolling or roughly shaped by forging, including blanks for angles, shapes or sections. These products are not presented in coils.

Rolled products of solid rectangular (other than square) cross-section, which do not conform to the definition at (ij) above in the form of:

coils of successively superimposed layers, or straight lengths, which if of a thickness less than 4. 75 mm are of a width measuring at least ten times the thickness or if of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more are of a width which exceeds 150 mm and measures at least twice the thickness.

Flat-rolled products include those with patterns in relief derived directly from rolling (for example, grooves, ribs, chequers, tears, buttons, lozenges) and those which have been perforated, corrugated or polished,

provided that they do not thereby assume the character of articles or products of other headings.

Flat-rolled products of a shape other than rectangular or square, of any size, are to be classified as products of a width of 600 mm or more, provided that they do not assume the character of articles or products of other headings.

{l}

Bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils

Hot-rolled products in irregularly wound coils, which have a solid cross-section in the shape of circles, segments of 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).

{m} Other bars and rods

Products which do not conform to any of the definitions at {ij}, {k} or {l}

above or to the definition of wire, which have a uniform solid cross-section along their whole length in the shape of circles, segments of 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);

be twisted after rolling.

{n} Angles, shapes and sections

Products having a uniform solid cross-section along their whole length which do not conform to any of the definitions at {ij}, {k}, {l} or {m) above or to the definition of wire. Chapter 72 does not include products of heading 73.01 or 73.02.

{o)

Wire

Cold-formed products in coils, of any uniform solid cross-section along their whole length, which do not conform to the definition of flat-rolled products.

{p}

Hollow drill bars and rods

Hollow bars and rods of any cross-section, suitable for drills, of which the greatest external dimension of the cross-section exceeds 15 mm but does not exceed 52 mm, and of which the greatest internal dimension does not exceed one half of the greatest external dimension. Hollow bars and rods of iron or steel not conforming to this definition are to be classified in heading 73.04.
