2. For the classification of ferro-alloys in the subheadings of heading 7202, the following rule should be observed:
A ferro-alloy is considered as binary and classified under the relevant subheading (if it exists) if only one of the alloy elements exceeds the minimum percentage laid down in note 1(c) to this chapter; by analogy, it is considered respectively as ternary or quaternary if two or three alloy elements exceed the minimum percentage.
For the application of this rule, the unspecified ‘other elements’ referred to in note 1(c) to this chapter must each exceed 10 % by weight.
