Heading 8003 : Tin bars, rods, profiles and wire.
These products, which are defined in Chapter Notes 1 (a), 1 (b) and 1 (c), correspond to similar goods made of copper. The provisions of the Explanatory Notes to heading 74.07 or 74.08 therefore apply, mutatis mutandis, to this heading. The heading also includes rods of tin base solder (generally made by extrusion) whether or not cut to length, provided they are not coated with flux material. Coated rods are excluded (heading 83.11). The heading also excludes cast rods intended, for example, for rolling or drawing or for re-casting into shaped articles (heading 80.01).
