Notes.
1. Except where the context otherwise requires, the
headings of this Chapter apply only to:
(a) Separate chemically defined organic compounds,
whether or not containing impurities;
(b) Mixtures of two or more isomers of the same organic
compound (whether or not containing impurities),
except mixtures of acyclic hydrocarbon isomers
(other than stereoisomers), whether or not saturated
(Chapter 27);
(c) The products of headings 29.36 to 29.39 or the
sugar ethers, sugar acetals and sugar esters, and
their salts, of heading 2940.00.00, or the products
of heading 29.41, whether or not chemically defined;
(d) The products mentioned in (a), (b) or (c) above
dissolved in water;
(e) The products mentioned in (a), (b) or (c) above
dissolved in other solvents provided that the
solution constitutes a normal and necessary method
of putting up these products adopted solely for
reasons of safety or for transport and that the
solvent does not render the product particularly
suitable for specific use rather than for general
use;
(f) The products mentioned in (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e)
above with an added stabiliser (including an anti-
caking agent) necessary for their preservation or
transport;
(g) The products mentioned in (a), (b), (c), (d), (e)
or (f) above with an added anti dusting agent or a
colouring or odoriferous substance added to facilitate
their identification or for safety reasons, provided
that the additions do not render the product
particularly suitable for specific use rather than
for general use;
(h) The following products, diluted to standard strengths,
for the production of azo dyes: diazonium salts,
couplers used for these salts and diazotisable
amines and their salts.
2. This Chapter does not cover:
(a) Goods of heading 15.04 or crude glycerol of heading
1520.00.00;
(b) Ethyl alcohol (heading 22.07 or 22.08);
(c) Methane or propane (heading 27.11);
(d) The compounds of carbon mentioned in Note 2 to
Chapter 28;
(e) Urea (heading 31.02 or 31.05);
(f) Colouring matter of vegetable or animal origin
(heading 3203.00), synthetic organic colouring
matter, synthetic organic products of a kind used
as fluorescent brightening agents or as luminophores
(heading 32.04) or dyes or other colouring matter
put up in forms or packings for retail sale
(heading 32.12);
(g) Enzymes (heading 35.07);
(h) Metaldehyde, hexamethylenetetramine or similar
substances, put up in forms (for example, tablets,
sticks or similar forms) for use as fuels, or
liquid or liquefied gas fuels in containers of a
kind used for filling or refilling cigarette or
similar lighters and of a capacity not exceeding
300 cm3 (heading 36.06);
(ij) Products put up as charges for fire extinguishers
or put up in fire extinguishing grenades, of heading
3813.00.00; ink removers put up in packings for
retail sale, of heading 38.24; or
(k) Optical elements, for example, of ethylenediamine
tartrate (heading 90.01).
3. Goods which could be included in two or more of the
headings of this Chapter are to be classified in that
one of those headings which occurs last in numerical
order.
4. In headings 29.04 to 29.06, 29.08 to 2911.00.00 and
2913.00.00 to 29.20, any reference to halogenated,
sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives includes
a reference to compound derivatives, such as
sulphohalogenated, nitrohalogenated, nitrosulphonated or
nitrosulphohalogenated derivatives.
