This heading covers the same kind of products described in heading 72.08 or 72.09 but, to fall in this heading, they must be of a width of less than 600 mm.
The provisions of the Explanatory Notes to headings 72.08 and 72.09 apply, mutatis mutandis, to products of this heading except those relating to width (see also the General Explanatory Note to this Chapter). Products of this heading include "wide flats" ("universal plates") of a width exceeding 150 mm but less than 600 mm, and hoop and strip. Hoop and strip are usually produced by hot re-rolling the semi-finished products of heading 72.07. They may be subsequently cold-rolled to give a thinner product and a better quality finish. Strip is also produced by slitting "wide coil", "sheets" or "plates" of heading 72.08 or 72.09. Products of this heading may be worked (e.g., corrugated, ribbed, chequered, embossed, bevelled or rounded at the edges), provided that they do not thereby assume the character of articles or of products of other headings. They are used for many purposes, e.g., hooping of boxes, casks and other containers; as a basis for tin-plate; manufacture of welded tubes, tools (e.g., saw blades), cold-formed angles, shapes or sections, conveyor and machinery belting, in the automobile industry and for the production of many other articles (by stamping, folding, etc.). The heading does not cover :(a) Twisted hoop of a kind used for fencing, of iron or steel ( heading 73.13). (b) Corrugated strip with one edge serrated or bevelled, being corrugated nails in the length used for assembling wooden parts (heading 73.17). (c) Blanks of articles of Chapter 82 (including razor blade blanks in strips). Subheading Explanatory Notes.
