Subheading Notes

1.

In this Chapter the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them:

(a)

ALUMINIUM, NOT ALLOYED:

Metal containing by mass at least 99 per cent of aluminium, provided that the content by mass of any other element does not exceed the limit specified in the following table: Element Limiting content per cent by mass

Fe + Si (iron plus silicon) 1

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 per cent but not more than 0,2 per cent, provided that neither the chromium nor manganese content exceeds 0,05 per cent.

(b)

ALUMINIUM ALLOYS:

Metallic substances in which aluminium predominates by mass over each of the other elements, provided that:

(i)

the content by mass 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 mass of such other elements exceeds 1 per cent.

2.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Chapter Note 9 (c) to Section XV, 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.
