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 descaling), 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 descaling), 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 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:                                                                       
                                                                                                    
       -  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.                          
                                                                                                    
       Headings 7606 and 7607 apply, inter alia, to plates, sheets, strip and foil with             
        patterns (for example, grooves, ribs, checkers, 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, wasted, expanded, cone-shaped or fitted with               
        flanges, collars or rings.

2.  Notwithstanding the provisions of note 1(c), for the purposes of subheading 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.
