In chapters 73 to 76 and 78 to 82 (but not in heading 7315) 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 chapters 72 to 76 and 78 to 81. 3. Throughout the nomenclature, the expression "base metals" means: iron and steel, copper, nickel, aluminum, lead, zinc, tin, tungsten (wolfram), molybdenum, tantalum, magnesium, cobalt, bismuth, cadmium, titanium, zirconium, antimony, manganese, beryllium, chromium, germanium, vanadium, gallium, hafnium, indium, niobium (columbium), rhenium and thallium. 4. Throughout the nomenclature, the term "cermets" means products containing a micro- scopic heterogeneous combination of a metallic component and a ceramic component. The term "cermets" includes sintered metal carbides (metal carbides sintered with a metal). 5. Classification of alloys (other than ferroalloys and master alloys as defined in chapters 72 and 74): (a). An alloy of base metals is to be classified as an alloy of the metal which predominates by weight over each of the other metals. (b). An alloy composed of base metals of this section and of elements not falling within this section is to be treated as an alloy of base metals of this section if the total weight of such metals equals or exceeds the total weight of the other elements present. (c). In this section, the term "alloys" includes sintered mixtures of metal powders, heterogeneous intimate mixtures obtained by melting (other than cermets) and intermetallic compounds.6. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in the nomenclature to a base metal includes a reference to alloys which, by virtue of note 5 above, are to be classified as alloys of that metal. 7. Classification of composite articles: Except where the headings otherwise require, articles of base metal (including articles of mixed materials treated as articles of base metal under the general rules of interpretation) containing two or more base metals are to be treated as articles of the base metal predominating by weight over each of the other metals. For this purpose: (a). Iron and steel, or different kinds of iron or steel, are regarded as one and the same metal; (b). An alloy is regarded as being entirely composed of that metal as an alloy of which, by virtue of note 3, it is classified; and (c). A cermet of heading 8113 is regarded as a single base metal. 8.

For the classification of ferroalloys in the subheadings of heading 7202 the following rule should be observed: A ferroalloy is considered as binary and classified under the relevant subheading (if it exists) if only one of the alloy elements exceeds the minimum percentage laid down in chapter note 1(c); by analogy, it is considered respectively as ternary or quaternary if two or three alloy elements exceed the minimum percentage. For the application of this rule, the unspecified "other elements" referred to in chapter note 1(c) must each exceed 10 percent by weight. Statistical Notes 1. For the purposes of the nomenclature the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them: (a).
