-
- For the purposes of heading 3401 , the expression ‘soap’ applies only to soap soluble in water. Soap and the other products of heading 3401 may contain added substances (for example, disinfectants, abrasive powders, fillers or medicaments). Products containing abrasive powders remain classified in heading 3401 only if in the form of bars, cakes or moulded pieces or shapes. In other forms, they are to be classified in heading 3405 as ‘scouring powders and similar preparations’.
-
- For the purposes of heading 3402 , ‘organic surface-active agents’ are products which, when mixed with water at a concentration of 0,5 % at 20 °C and left to stand for one hour at the same temperature:
- (a) give a transparent or translucent liquid or stable emulsion without separation of insoluble matter; and
- (b) reduce the surface tension of water to 4,5 × 10–2 N/m (45 dyn/cm) or less.
-
- In heading 3403 , the expression ‘petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals’ applies to the products defined in note 2 to Chapter 27.
-
- In heading 3404 , subject to the exclusions provided below, the expression ‘artificial waxes and prepared waxes’ applies only to:
- (a) chemically produced organic products of a waxy character, whether or not water-soluble;
- (b) products obtained by mixing different waxes;
- (c) products of a waxy character with a basis of one or more waxes and containing fats, resins, mineral substances or other materials.
The heading does not apply to:
- (a) products of heading 1516 , 3402 or 3823 , even if having a waxy character;
- (b) unmixed animal waxes or unmixed vegetable waxes, whether or not refined or coloured, of heading 1521 ;
- (c) mineral waxes or similar products of heading 2712 , whether or not intermixed or merely coloured; or

PHOTOGRAPHIC OR CINEMATOGRAPHIC GOODS
Notes
-
- This chapter does not cover waste or scrap.
-
- In this chapter, the word ‘photographic’ relates to the process by which visible images are formed, directly or indirectly, by the action of light or other forms of radiation on photosensitive, including thermosensitive, surfaces.
Additional notes

- In the case of sound films imported in two bands (the band bearing only the images and the band used for recording the sound), each band is to be classified in its appropriate heading.
-
- The expression ‘newsreels’ (subheading 3706 90 52 ) is to be taken to apply to films of length of less than 330 m, and depicting current events of a political, sporting, military, scientific, literary, folkloric, touristic, society, etc., nature.

- (A) For the purpose of heading 3822 , the expression ‘certified reference materials’ means reference materials which are accompanied by a certificate which indicates the values of the certified properties, the methods used to determine these values and the degree of certainty associated with each value and which are suitable for analytical, calibrating or referencing purposes. (B) With the exception of the products of Chapter 28 or 29, for the classification of certified reference materials, heading 3822 shall take precedence over any other heading in the nomenclature.
-
- Heading 3824 includes the following goods which are not to be classified in any other heading of the nomenclature:
- (a) cultured crystals (other than optical elements) weighing not less than 2,5 g each, of magnesium oxide or of the halides of the alkali or alkaline-earth metals;

-
- Throughout the nomenclature, ‘municipal waste’ means waste of a kind collected from households, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, shops, offices, etc., road and pavement sweepings, as well as construction and demolition waste. Municipal waste generally contains a large variety of materials such as plastics, rubber, wood, paper, textiles, glass, metals, food materials, broken furniture and other damaged or discarded articles. The term ‘municipal waste’, however, does not cover:
- (a) individual materials or articles segregated from the waste, for example wastes of plastics, rubber, wood, paper, textiles, glass or metals, electrical and electronic waste and scrap (including spent batteries) which fall in their appropriate headings of the nomenclature;
- (b) industrial waste;
- (c) waste pharmaceuticals, as defined in note 4(k) to Chapter 30; or
- (d) clinical waste, as defined in note 6(a) below.
-
- For the purposes of heading 3825 , ‘sewage sludge’ means sludge arising from urban effluent treatment plant and includes pre-treatment waste, scourings and unstabilised sludge. Stabilised sludge when suitable for use as fertiliser is excluded (Chapter 31).
-
- For the purposes of heading 3825 , the expression ‘other wastes’ applies to:
- (a) clinical waste, that is, contaminated waste arising from medical research, diagnosis, treatment or other medical, surgical, dental or veterinary procedures, which often contain pathogens and pharmaceutical substances and require special disposal procedures (for example, soiled dressings, used gloves and used syringes);
- (b) waste organic solvents;
- (c) wastes of metal pickling liquors, hydraulic fluids, brake fluids and anti-freezing fluids; and
- (d) other wastes from chemical or allied industries.
The expression ‘other wastes’ does not, however, cover wastes which contain mainly petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals (heading 2710 ).
-
- For the purposes of heading 3826 , the term ‘biodiesel’ means mono-alkyl esters of fatty acids of a kind used as a fuel, derived from animal, vegetable or microbial fats and oils whether or not used.
