Articles of Iron or Steel

Notes

1.

In this Chapter the expresion "cast iron" applies to products obtained by casting in which iron predominates by mass over each of the other elements and which do not comply with the chemical composition of steel as defined in Note 1(d) to Chapter 72.

2.

In this Chapter the word "wire" means hot or cold-formed products of any cross-sectional shape, of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 16 mm.
