1.  In this chapter the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them:            
                                                                                                    
  (a). 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                  
        descaling), provided that they have not thereby assumed the character of articles           
        or products of other headings.                                                              
                                                                                                    
   (b). 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         
         expression also covers cast or sintered products, of the same forms, which have            
         been subsequently worked after production (otherwise than by simple trimming               
         or descaling), provided that they have not thereby assumed the character of                
         articles or products of other headings.                                                    
                                                                                                    
   (c). Wire                                                                                        
                                                                                                    
        Rolled, extruded or drawn products, 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.

        coiled or not, of solid rectangular (other than square) cross section with or               
        without rounded corners (including "modified rectangles" of which two opposite              
        sides are convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equal length and              
        parallel) of a uniform thickness, which are:                                                
                                                                                                    
       -  of rectangular (including square) shape with a thickness not exceeding                    
           one-tenth of the width,                                                                  
                                                                                                    
       -  of a shape other than rectangular or square, of any size, provided that                   
           they do not assume the character of articles or products of other                        
           headings.                                                                                
                                                                                                    
       Heading 7905 applies, inter alia, to plates, sheets, strip and foil with patterns (for       
        example, grooves, ribs, checkers, tears, buttons, lozenges) and to such products            
        which have been perforated, corrugated, polished or coated, provided that they              
        do not thereby assume the character of articles or products of other headings.

       Hollow products, coiled or not, which have a uniform cross section with only one             
        enclosed void along their whole length in the shape of circles, ovals, rectangles           
        (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons, and which            
        have a uniform wall thickness.  Products with a rectangular (including square),             
        equilateral triangular or regular convex polygonal cross section, which may have            
        corners rounded along their whole length, are also to be considered as tubes and            
        pipes provided the inner and outer cross sections are concentric and have the               
        same form and orientation.  Tubes and pipes of the foregoing cross sections may             
        be polished coated, bent, threaded, drilled, waisted, expanded, cone-shaped or              
        fitted with flanges, collars or rings.
