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. Subheading Notes 1. In this chapter the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them: (a). Aluminum, not alloyed Metal containing by weight at least 99 percent of aluminum, 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 percent by weight Fe + Si (Iron plus Silicon) 1.0 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 percent but not more than 0.2 percent, provided that neither the chromium nor manganese content exceeds 0.05 percent. (b). Aluminum alloys Metallic substances in which aluminum 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 percent. 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. Statistical Note 1. For the purposes of this chapter, the term "aluminum vanadium master alloy" refers to aluminum alloys which contain by weight 20 percent or more of vanadium. 7601 Unwrought aluminum: 7601100000 Aluminum, not alloyed . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 760120 Aluminum alloys: 7601209030 Aluminum vanadium master alloy . . . . . .kg Other: 7601209045 Of uniform circular cross section throughout its length, not in coils . . . . . . . . . .kg Other: 7601209075 Remelt scrap ingot . . . . . . . . .kg 7601209500 Other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 7602 Aluminum waste and scrap: 7602000030 Used beverage container scrap . . . . . . . .kg 7602000090 Other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 7603 Aluminum powders and flakes: 7603100000 Powders of nonlamellar structure . . . . . .kg 7603200000 Powders of lamellar structure;
