72.09 Flat-rolled roducts of iron or non-a110 steel, of a width of 600 rnm or more, cold-rolled gold-reduced), not clad, plate or coated (+). J' - In coils, not fwther worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced) : - - Of a thickness of 3 mrn or more 7209.16 - - Of a thickness exceeding 1 rnrn but less than 3 mm 7209.17 - - Of a thickness of 0.5 mm or more but not exceeding 1 mm 7209.18 - - Of a thickness of less than 0.5 mm 7209.15 - Not in coils, not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced) : 7209.25 7209.26 7209.27 7209.28 7209.90 - - Of a thickness of 3 mm or more - - Of a thickness exceeding 1 mm but less than 3 mm - - Of a thickness of 0.5 rnm or more but not exceeding 1 mm - - Of a thickness of less than 0.5 mm - Other The provisions of the Explanatory Note to heading 72.08 apply, mutatis rnutandis, to the products of this heading. Criteria for distinguishing between the cold-rolled products of this heading and the hot-rolled roducts of heading 72.08 are set out in the General Explanatory Note to this Chapter - see (B)- (crv Because of their S ecial roperties (better surface finish, better aptitude to cold-forming, stricter tolerances, genera ly re uced thickness, hi her mechanical stren , etc.), the products of this heading are in general used for purposes gfferent from those o their hot-rolled counterparts, which they increasingly tend to replace. They are used, in particular, in the manufacture of automobile bodies, metal furniture, domestic appliances, central heating radiators and for producing an les, shapes and sections by a cold rocess (either forming or profiling). They are eas to coat y tin-plating, electroplating, varnis ng, enamelling, lacquering, painting, coating wit plastics, etc.). P B i P Ri W They are often delivered after annealin , norrnalising or other heat treatment. If they are very thin (generally less than 0.5 mm) and i their surface has been pickled to render them suitable for tin-plating, varnishing or printing, they may be described as " black plate ", even when coiled. f

Subheading Explanatory Note. Subheadings 7209.15,7209.16,7209.17,7209.18,7209.25,7209.26,7209.27 and 7209.28 In addition to cold-rolling, the products of these subheadings may have been subjected to the following working or surface treatments : (1) Flattening. (2) Annealing, hardening, tempering, case-hardening, nitriding and similar heat treatments to improve the properties of the metal. (3) Pickling. (4) Surface treatments described in Item (2) of the second paragraph of the Explanatory Note to heading 72.08. (5) Stamping, punching, printing, etc., with simple inscriptions, such as trademarks. (6) Cutting into rectangular (including square) shape. (7) Operations intended exclusively to detect flaws in the metal.
