Aluminum and Articles Thereof
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:
S of rectangular (including square) shape with a thickness not exceeding one-tenth of the width,
S 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
Other elements (1), each0.1 (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.
