• ‘slabs’: unwrought products which have a uniform solid cross-section along their whole length in the shape of a rectangle or other polygon, of a width exceeding 800 mm, of a thickness exceeding 280 mm and of a length always superior to the width and to the thickness. These products are intended for being rolled;

• ‘billets’: unwrought products which have a uniform solid cross-section along their whole length in the shape of a circle (including a ‘flattened circle’), of a diameter exceeding 125 mm.

2. For the purposes of subheadings 76061211 and 76061219, the following terms shall have the meaning hereby assigned to them:

• ‘beverage can body stock’: sheets or strips in coils, rolled, having manganese and magnesium as main alloying elements and having a minimum tensile strength of 262 MPa. The sheets or strips have a uniform solid cross-section along their whole length, are of a width of 300 mm or more but not more than 2000 mm, of a thickness exceeding 0,2 mm but not exceeding 0,4 mm, and of a length always superior to the width and to the thickness. Beverage can body stock is prelubricated, with a bright surface;

• ‘beverage can end stock and tab stock’: sheets or strips in coils, having magnesium as the main alloying element and having a minimum tensile strength 345 MPa. The sheets or strips have a uniform solid cross-section along their whole length, are of a width of 30 mm or more but not more than 2000 mm, of a thickness exceeding 0,2 mm but not exceeding 0,35 mm, and of a length always superior to the width and to the thickness. Beverage can end stock is varnished on both sides. Beverage can tab stock is degreased and oiled.

These products are to be used for the fabrication of rigid beverage cans, including ends (lids) and tabs.

3. For the purposes of subheadings 76061130, 76061230 and 76072091, the following term shall have the meaning hereby assigned to it:

• ‘Aluminium Composite Panel’: laminated goods consisting of two flat-rolled sheets or foils of aluminium, whether or not alloyed, each of them having a thickness of not less than 0,08 mm but not exceeding 0,55 mm, and a continuous core of non-porous polymer or mineral material, held together with an adhesive, all together having a thickness of 1,0 mm or more, but not exceeding 6,1 mm. The two external aluminium cover sheets or foils can have different finishes. These goods cannot be coiled.
