Dear Sir/Madam, This is Jerry Tang from a metal distribution company from Hong Kong. I am writing to ask about the definition of the item name under the database of "Volume of production, shipment, inventory, domestic demand and exports" on KOSIS. Here is the link for your reference. https://kosis.kr/statHtml/statHtml.do?orgId=101&tblId=DT_1F01512&conn_path=I2&language=en In the inquiry results, there is an item called "Aluminium plates (M/T)", I am not quite sure if the figures shown under this item are really "Aluminium plates" only or it includes "Aluminium sheets" as well due to lost in translation. Also there is an item called "Aluminium tubes and hollow bar (M/T)", I am wondering if the hollow bar is equal to "profile" or what does it mean actually?...So I would like to clarify the definition of this item name or is it possible to provide us the HS code behind so that we can have a clear understanding of what is included in this item? Much appreciated if you could help on this. Have a good day. Regards, Jerry
