CONTAINING BY WEIGHT 0.03 PERCENT OR MORE OF LEAD OR 0.05 PERCENT
OR MORE OF BISMUTH, IN COILS OR CUT LENGTHS, AND IN NUMEROUS
SHAPES AND SIZES. EXCLUDED FROM THIS INVESTIGATION ARE OTHER
ALLOY STEELS (AS DEFINED BY THE HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULES OF
THE UNITED STATES (HTSUS) CHAPTER 72, NOTE 1 (F)), EXCEPT STEELS
CLASSIFIED AS OTHER ALLOY STEELS BY REASON OF CONTAINING BY
