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
