CHAPTER 70

GLASS AND GLASSWARE

Notes

1. This chapter does not cover:

(a) goods of heading No 3207 (for example, verifiable enamels and glazes, glass frit, other glass in the form of powder, granules or flakes);

(b) articles of Chapter 71 (for example, imitation jewellery);

(c) optical fibre cables of heading No 8544, electrical insulators (heading No 8546) or fittings of insulating material of heading No 8547;

(d) optical fibres, optically worked optical elements, hypodermic syringes, artificial eyes, thermometers, barometers, hydrometers or other articles of Chapter 90;

(e) lamps or lighting fittings, illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates or the like, having a permanently fixed light source, or parts thereof of heading No 9405;

(f) toys, games, sports requisites, Christmas tree ornaments or other articles of Chapter 95 (excluding glass eyes without mechanisms for dolls or for other articles of Chapter 95); or

(g) buttons, fitted vacuum flasks, scent or similar sprays or other articles of Chapter 96.

1. For the purposes of headings Nos 7003, 7004 and 7005:

(a) Glass is not regarded as ‘worked’ by reason of any process it has undergone before annealing.

(b) Cutting to shape does not affect the classification of glass in sheets.

(c) The expression ‘absorbent or reflecting layer’ means a microscopically thin coating of metal or of a chemical compound (for example, metal oxide) which absorbs, for example, infra-red light or improves the reflecting qualities of the glass while still allowing it to retain a degree of transparency or translucency.

1. The products referred to in heading No 7006 remain classified in that heading whether or not they have the character of articles.

1. For the purposes of heading No 7019, the expression ‘glass wool’ means:

(a) mineral wools with a silica (SiO2) content not less than 60 % by weight;

CHAPTER 71

NATURAL OR CULTURED PEARLS, PRECIOUS OR SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES, PRECIOUS METALS, METALS CLAD WITH PRECIOUS METAL, AND ARTICLES THEREOF; IMITATION JEWELLERY; COIN

Notes

1. Subject to note 1 (a) to Section VI and except as provided below, all articles consisting wholly or partly:

(a) of natural or cultured pearls or of precious or semi-precious stones (natural, synthetic or reconstructed);

(b) of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal,

are to be classified in this chapter.

1. - (a) Heading Nos 7113, 7114 and 7115 do not cover articles in which precious metal or metal clad with precious metal is present as minor constituents only, such as minor fittings or minor ornamentation (for example, monograms, ferrules and rims), and paragraph (b) of the foregoing note does not apply to such articles.

(b) Heading No 7116 does not cover articles containing precious metal or metal clad with precious metal (other than as minor constituents).

1. This chapter does not cover:

(a) amalgams of precious metal, or colloidal precious metal (heading No 2843);

(b) sterile surgical suture materials, dental fillings or other goods of Chapter 30;

(d) handbags or other articles of heading No 4202 or articles of heading No 4203;

(e) articles of heading No 4303 or 4304;

However, articles and parts thereof, wholly of precious or semi-precious stones (natural, synthetic or reconstructed) remain classified in this chapter, except unmounted worked sapphires and diamonds for styluses (heading No 8522);

(k) articles of Chapter 90, 91 or 92 (scientific instruments, clocks and watches, musical instruments);

(l) arms or parts thereof (Chapter 93);

(m) articles covered by note 2 to Chapter 95;

(n) articles classified in Chapter 96 by virtue of note 4 to that chapter; or

(o) original sculptures or statuary (heading No 9703), collectors' pieces (heading No 9705) or antiques of an age exceeding 100 years (heading No 9706), other than natural or cultured pearls or precious or semi-precious stones.

1. - (a) The expression ‘precious metal’ means silver, gold and platinum.

(b) The expression ‘platinum’ means platinum, iridium, osmium, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium.

(c) The expression ‘precious or semi-precious stones’ does not include any of the substances specified in note 2 (b) to Chapter 96.

1. For the purposes of this chapter, any alloy (including a sintered mixture and an inter-metallic compound) containing precious metal is to be treated as an alloy of precious metal if any one precious metal constitutes as much as 2 %, by weight, of the alloy. Alloys of precious metal are to be classified according to the following rules:

(a) An alloy containing 2 % or more, by weight, of platinum is to be treated as an alloy of platinum.

(b) An alloy containing 2 % or more, by weight, of gold but no platinum, or less than 2 %, by weight, of platinum, is to be treated as an alloy of gold.

1. Except where the context otherwise requires, any reference in the nomenclature to precious metal or to any particular precious metal includes a reference to alloys treated as alloys of precious metal or of the particular metal in accordance with the rules in note 5 above, but not to metal clad with precious metal or to base metal or non-metals plated with precious metal.

1.

Hollow bars and rods of iron or steel not conforming to this definition are to be classified within heading No 7304.

1. Ferrous metals clad with another ferrous metal are to be classified as products of the ferrous metal predominating by weight.

1. Iron or steel products obtained by electrolytic deposition, by pressure casting or by sintering are to be classified, according to their form, their composition and their appearance, in the headings of this chapter appropriate to similar hot-rolled products.

Subheading notes

Pig iron containing, by weight, one or more of the following elements in the specified proportions:

— more than 0,2 % of chromium,

— more than 0,3 % of copper,

— more than 0,3 % of nickel,

— more than 0,1 % of any of the following elements: aluminium, molybdenum, titanium, tungsten (wolfram), vanadium.

Alloy steels containing by weight at least 0,6 % but not more than 6 % of silicon and not more than 0,08 % of carbon. They may also contain by weight not more than 1 % of aluminium but no other element in a proportion that would give the steel the characteristics of another alloy steel.

(d) High-speed steel

Alloy steels containing, with or without other elements, at least two of the three elements molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium with a combined content by weight of 7 % or more, 0,6 % or more of carbon and 3 to 6 % of chromium.

(e) Silico-manganese steel

Alloy steels containing by weight:

— 0,35 % or more but not more than 0,7 % of carbon,

— 0,5 % or more but not more than 1,2 % of manganese, and

— 0,6 % or more but not more than 2,3 % of silicon, but not containing any other element in a proportion that would give the steel the characteristics of another alloy steel.

1. For the classification of ferro-alloys in the subheadings of heading No 7202, the following rule should be observed:

A ferro-alloy is considered as binary and classified under the relevant subheading (if it exists) if only one of the alloy elements exceeds the minimum percentage laid down in note 1 (c) to this chapter; by analogy, it is considered respectively as ternary or quaternary if two or three alloy elements exceed the minimum percentage.

For the application of this rule the unspecified ‘other elements’ referred to in note 1 (c) to this chapter must each exceed 10 % by weight.
