chapter 76 Aluminium and articles thereof

Subheading Notes.

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

(a) Aluminium, not alloyed

Metal containing by weight at least 99 % of aluminium, 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 % by weight     │
├──────────────┼───────────────────┤
│ Fe + Si (iron plus silicon)│                1                     │
│ Other elements(1), each    │                0.1 (2)               │
├──────────────┴───────────────────┤
│(1)  Other elenents are, for example, Cr, Cu, Mg, Mn, Ni, Zn.       │
│                                                                    │
│(2)  Copper is permitted in a proportion greater than 0.1 %         │
│    but not more than 0.2 %, provided that neither the chromium     │
│    nor manganese content exceeds 0.05 %                            │
└──────────────────────────────────┘

(b) Aluminium alloys

Metallic substances in which aluminium 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 %.

2.- Notwithstanding the provisions of 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.
