SECTION-XV 680 CHAPTER-79
CHAPTER 79
Zinc and articles thereof
NOTE :
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 crosssection
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.
(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 de-scaling), 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.
(d) Plates, sheets, strip and foil
Flat-surfaced products (other than the unwrought products of heading 7901), 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 being straight, of equal length and
parallel) of a uniform thickness, which are:
(i) of rectangular (including square) shape with a thickness not exceeding one-tenth of
the width;
(ii) 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.
SECTION-XV 681 CHAPTER-79
Heading 7905, applies, inter alia, to plates, sheets, strip and foil with patterns (for example,
grooves, ribs, chequers, 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.
(e) Tubes and pipes
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.
SUB-HEADING NOTE :
In this Chapter, the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them:
(a) Zinc, not alloyed
Metal containing by weight at least 97.5% of Zinc.
(b) Zinc alloys
Metallic substances in which zinc predominates by weight over each of the other elements,
provided that the total content by weight of such other elements exceeds 2.5%.
(c) Zinc dust
Dust obtained by condensation of zinc vapour, consisting of spherical particles which are
finer than zinc powders. At least 80% by weight of the particles pass through a sieve with 63
micrometres (microns) mesh. It must contain at least 85% by weight of metallic zinc.
