NOTES
1. This section does not cover:
(a) Prepared paints, inks or other products with a basis
of metallic flakes or powder (heading nos. 32.07 to
32.10, 32.12,32.13 or 32.15);
(b) Ferro-cerium or other pyrophoric alloys (heading
no.36.06);
(c) Headgear or parts thereof of heading no. 65.06 or
65.07;
(d) Umbrella frames or other articles of heading no.
66.03;
(e) Goods of chapter 71 (for example, precious metal
alloys, base metal clad with precious metal,
imitation jewellery);
(f) Articles of section XVI (machinery, mechanical
appliances and electrical goods);
(g) Assembled railway or tramway track (heading no. 86.08)
or other articles of section XVII (vehicles, ships
and boats, aircraft);
(h) Instruments or apparatus of section XVIII, including
clocks or watch springs;
(ij)Lead shot prepared for ammunitions (heading no. 93.06)
or other articles sextion XIX (arms and ammunitions);
(k) Articles of chapter 94 ( for example, furniture,
mattress support, lamps and lighting fittings,
illuminated signs, prefabricated buildings);
(l) Articles of chapter 95 ( for example, toys, games,
sports requisites);
(m) Hand sieves, buttons, pens, pencil-holders, pen nibs
or other articles of chapter 96 (miscellaneous
manufactured articles); or
(n) Articles of chapter 97 (for example, works of art)
2. Throughout this Nomenclature, the expression "parts of
general use" means;
(a) Articles of heading no. 73.07, 73.12, 73.15, 73.17 or
73.18 and similar articles of other base metal;
(b) Springs and leaves for springs, of base metal, other
than clock or watch springs (heading no. 91.14); and
(c) Articles of heading nos. 83.01, 83.02, 83.08, 83.10
and frames and mirrors, of base metal, of heading no.
83.06.
In chapter 73 to 76 and 78 to 82 (but not in heading no. 73.15) references to parts
of goods do not include references to parts of general use
as defined above.
Subject to the preceding paragraph and to note 1 to chapter 83, the articles of chapter 82
or 83 are excluded from chapter 72 to 76 and 78 to 81.

Chapter notes
- Chapter 74 - NOTES
1.- In this Chapter the following expressions have the
meaning hereby assigned to them :
(a) Refined copper
Metal containing at least 99.85% by weight of copper; or
Metal containing at least 97.5 % by weight of copper,
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
Ag Silver 0.25
As Arsenic 0.5
Cd Cadmium 1.3
Cr Chromium 1.4
Mg Magnesium 0.8
Pb Lead 1.5
S Sulphur 0.7
Sn Tin 0.8
Te Tellurium 0.8
Zn Zinc 1
Zr Zirconium 0.3
Other element*, each 0.3
* Other elements are, for example, Al, Be, Co, Fe, Mn,
Ni, Si.
(b) Copper alloys
Metallic substances other than unrefined copper in which
copper predominates by weight over each of the other
elements, provided that :
(i) the content by weight of at least one of the other
elements is greater than the limit specified in the
foregoing table; or
(ii) the total content by weight of such other elements
exceeds 2.5%.
(c) Master alloys
Alloys containing with other elements more than 10 % by
weight of copper, not usefully malleable and commonly used
as an additive in the manufacture of other alloys or as
de-oxidants, de-sulphurising agents or for similar uses in
the metallurgy of non-ferrous metals. However, copper
phosphide (phosphor copper) containing more than 15 % by
weight of phosphorus falls in heading No. 28.48.
(d) 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 de-scaling),
provided that they have not thereby assumed the character
of articles or products of other headings.
Wire-bars and billets with their ends tapered or
otherwise worked simply to facilitate their entry into
machines for converting them into, for example, drawing
stock (wire-rod) or tubes, are however to be taken to be
unwrought copper of heading No. 74.03.
(e) 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 expressions also covers cast or
sintered products, of the same forms, which have been
subsequently worked after production (otherwise than by
simple trimming or de-scaling), provided that they have
not thereby assumed the character of articles or products
of other headings.
