Under this heading are included iron and steel simply rolled or forged, every subsequent operation causing the iron and steel to be classed as manufactured (di seconda fabbricazione) to which category iron forgings of less than 1 kilo in weight are referred if they have received any finish which justifies this treatment. Rolled or wrought iron, for the construction of wagons, bridges, machinery, or buildings, when not drilled or otherwise worked, is classed under the present heading, in which annealed plates are also comprised. Plates cut (not simply filed) for a special use pay 1 lire of duty more than uncut plates.
