Goods

Conditions in Which Such Goods Shall be Imported

These goods (except the engine and gearbox) may be built up into a “frame” by means of rivets, gussets, bolts, or welding, and engine and gearbox may be fully assembled and attached (permanently or otherwise) to the frame. The frame must not be further assembled; but such other minor fittings, for example, stays, lugs, and brackets, as are ordinarily affixed to the frame, may be so affixed by welding, riveting, or any other process which has the like effect.

May not be attached to the frame or to parts affixed thereto (as referred to in (a) above) but may, subject to the foregoing restriction, be imported in such condition as the importer elects.

Shall be rough stampings or metal sections, unmachined, and not plated.

May be built up into the form of a “shell”, with doors attached thereto. The shell may have a coat of grease, oil, red oxide, or similar protective coating, not including cellulose or pyroxylin or similar lacquer. The shell shall not be advanced in manufacture beyond the stage where the necessary welding processes have been performed; for example, the seams shall not be soldered, filled, or smoothed.

May not be attached to a spring frame or seat frame.

Shall be imported in the condition set out with respect to chassis of motor vehicles in Class I hereof; except that in cases where a metal underbody or floor takes the place of a chassis frame, such underbody or floor may, at the discretion of the Minister, be deemed to be a chassis frame and may in such case have attached to it the stays, lugs, brackets, and other minor fittings that would ordinarily be attached to a frame.

Shall be plain or machined metal stampings, with or without a protective coat (as set out in paragraph (a) of subdivision (ii) of Class I above) but must not be built up in any way, by welding or any other process which has the like effect, nor must any parts whatsoever be attached thereto.

Shall be imported in an unassembled condition, that is, with window-regulating gear detached and panel stampings unwelded.

Must not be attached to metal panels; but, subject to this restriction, may be imported in such condition as the importer elects.

Shall be imported in the condition set out with respect to chassis of motor vehicles in Class I hereof.
