The sections most commonly falling in this heading are H, I, T, capital omega, Z and U Fluding channels), obtuse, acute and r i p (L) angles. The corners may be square or rounded, e limbs e ual or unequal, and the e ges may or may not be " bulbed' (bulb angles or shipbuilding earns). % Angles, shapes and sections are irsually produced by hot-rolling, hot-drawing, hot-extrusion or hot-forg~ngor forging blooms or billets. The heading includes goods which have been cold-formed or cold-finished (by cold-drawing, etc.) and also covers angles, shapes and sections made by forming on a roll e machine or by forming sheets, plates or strip on a press. So-called ' ribbed sheets and p ates "having an angular profile are aIso classified here.

Subheading Explanatory Notes. Subheadings 7216.10,7216.21,7216.22,7216.31,7216.32,7216.33 and 7216.40 In order to classify U, I, H, L or T sections in these subheadings, the height should be determined as follows : - U, I or H sections : the distance between the external surfaces of the two parallel planes. L sections : the height of the largest external side. T sections : the total height of the section. An I section (narrow or medium flange) is a product with flanges of a width not exceeding 0.66 of the height of the section and less than 300 mm.
