SCHEDULE 6. - METALS AND METAL PRODUCTS Part 2. - Metals, Their Alloys, and Their Basic Shapes and Forms Rates of Duty

(c) Base-<netal alloys are alloys which contain one or more base metals and are not any of the precious-metal alloys, as defined in tb) of this headndte. Base-metal alloys are classifiable as — li) alloys of that base metal which predominates by weight over each of the other metallic elements contained therein, except as specified In (cICIl) of this headnote; and lii) ferroalloys (as defined in headnote 2le) of subpart 8 of this part) or master alloys (as defined in headnote 2(b) of subpart C of this part) under their respective headings in subpart B or C of this part, regardless of the base metal therein which predominates by weight. (d) In the tariff schedules, unless the context requires otherwise, a provision for a specific metal includes that metal and its alloys. 3. For the purposes of this part, unless the context requires otherwise — (a) the term "unwrouoht" refers to metal, whether or not refined, in the form of ingots, blocks, lumps, billets, cakes, slabs, pigs, cathodes, anodes, briquettes, cubes, sticks, grains, sponge, pellets, shot, and SITII lar primary forms, but does not cover rol led, forged, drawn, or extruded products, tubular products, or cast or sintered forms which have been machined or processed otherwise than by simple trimming, scalping, or descaling; (b) the term "waste and scrap" refers to materials and articles of metal which are second-hand or waste or refuse, or are obsolete, defective or damaged, and which are fit only for the recovery of the metal content or for use in the manufacture of chemicals, and does not include metal in unwrought form or metal-bearing materials provided for in part I of this schedule; (c) the term "wrought". as applied to metal products other than wrought iron, refers to products which have been rolled, forged, drawn, or extruded, and also refers to cast or sintered products which have been machined or processed otherwise than by simple trimming, scalping, or descaling; (d) the term "clad". as applied to metal products, refers to such products with two or more layers of metal of different colors or natures which have been associated or bonded together by forging, hammering, rolling, or other mechanical or thermic process to Insure welding or molecular interpenetration of the surfaces in contact; and (e) the term "pipes and tubes and blanks therefor" covers tubular products. Including hollow bars and hollow billets but not including hollow drill steel, of any cross-sectional configuration, by whatever process made, whether seamless, brazed, or welded and whether with an open or lock seam or joint. 4. No allowance or reduction of duties for partial damage or loss in consequence of discoloration or rust occurring before importation shall be made upon iron or steel or upon any article of iron or steel.
