DIVISION 15 BASE METALS AND ARTICLES OF BASE METAL (a) prepared paints, inks and other products that— (i) have a basis of metallic flakes or powder; and (ii) fall within 32.08, 32.09, 32.10 or 32.13; (b) ferro-cerium and other pyrophoric alloys falling within 36.08; (c) headgear, parts therefor and other goods falling within 65.06 or 65.07; (d) umbrella frames and other goods falling within 66.03; (e) goods falling within Chapter 71; (f) goods falling within Division 16; (g) goods falling within Division 17; (h) instruments, apparatus and other goods of base metal falling within Division 18; (j) goods falling within Division 19; (k) goods falling within Chapter 94; (m) hand sieves falling within 96.06; (n) toys, games, sports requisites and other goods falling within Chapter 97; (p) buttons, pens, pencil-holders, pen nibs and other goods falling within Chapter 98. 2\. (1) In this Schedule, “parts for general use” means— (a) goods of iron or steel described in 73.20, 73.25, 73.29, 73.31 or 73.32 and similar goods of other base metals; (b) springs and leaves for springs, of base metal, other than watch and clock springs falling within 91.11; and (c) goods described in 83.01, 83.02, 83.07, 83.09 or 83.14 and frames and mirrors of base metal falling within 83.06. (2) In an item (other than 73.29) in Chapters 73 to 82 (inclusive), a reference to parts for goods shall be read as not including a reference to parts for general use. (3) Goods falling within Chapter 82 or 83 do not fall within Chapters 73 to 81 (inclusive). 3\. (1) An alloy that is a ferro-alloy for the purposes of Chapter 73 falls within 73.02 and does not fall within any other item in this Division. (2) An alloy that is a master alloy for the purposes of Chapter 74 falls within 74.02 and does not fall within any other item in this Division. (3) For the purposes of this Schedule, an alloy of base metals, other than an alloy referred to in either sub-note (1) or (2), shall be treated as an alloy of that one of those base metals that constitutes a greater percentage, by weight, of the alloy than any other of those base metals. (4) An alloy, other than an alloy referred to in sub-note (1) or (2), that is composed of one or more of the following base metals and of other elements does not fall within this Division if the total weight of the base metals is less than the total weight of the other elements: (a) iron; (b) steel; (c) copper; (d) nickel; (e) aluminium; (f) magnesium; (g) beryllium; (h) lead; (j) zinc; (k) tin; (m) tungsten; (n) molybdenum; (p) tantalum; (q) any base metal referred to in note 1 to Chapter 81. (5) In this Division, “alloys” includes sintered mixtures of metal powders, heterogeneous intimate mixtures obtained by melting (other than cermets) and intermetallic compounds. 4\. Unless the contrary intention appears, a reference in this Schedule to a base metal shall be read as including a reference to an alloy of that base metal. 5\. (1) For the purposes of this Division, unless the contrary intention appears, goods containing two or more base metals shall be deemed to be comprised wholly of that one of those base metals that constitutes a greater percentage, by weight, of the goods than the other base metal or any of the other base metals. (2) For the purposes of this note— (a). iron and steel (including different kinds of iron or steel) shall be deemed to be one metal; (b) an alloy of a base metal shall be deemed to be wholly composed of that metal; and (c) a cermet of 81.04 shall be deemed to be a single base metal. 6\. In this Division, “waste and scrap” means waste and scrap metal fit only for the recovery of metal or for use in the manufacture of chemicals.
