— exceeding that shown in line I but not exceeding that shown in line II when 25 % or more by volume distils at 300 °C by the ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 86 method) or, if less than 25 % by volume distils at 300 °C, when the pour point is higher than 10 °C below zero by the ISO 3016 method. These provisions apply only to oils having a diluted colour C of less than 2.

The term ‘viscosity V’ means the kinematic viscosity at 50 °C expressed in 10^–6 m² s^–1 by the EN ISO 3104 method.

The term ‘diluted colour C’ means the colour of a product, as determined by the ISO 2049 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 1 500 method), after one part of the product has been made up to 100 parts by volume with xylene, toluene or another suitable solvent. The colour must be determined immediately after dilution.

The term ‘bio-components’ means animal or vegetable fats, animal or vegetable oils, or mono-alkyl esters of fatty acids (FAMAE).

Subheadings 2710 19 51 to 2710 19 67 and 2710 20 32 to 2710 20 38 cover only fuel oils of natural colour.

These subheadings do not cover heavy oils defined in paragraph (d) above for which it is not possible to determine:

— the distillation percentage (zero shall be deemed to be a percentage) at 250 °C by the ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 86 method),

— the kinematic viscosity at 50 °C by the EN ISO 3104 method,

— or the diluted colour C by the ISO 2049 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 1500 method).

Such products fall in subheadings 2710 19 71 to 2710 19 99 or 2710 20 90 ;

(g) ‘containing biodiesel’ means that the products of subheading 2710 20 have a minimum content of biodiesel, i.e. mono-alkyl esters of fatty acids (FAMAE) of a kind used as a fuel, of 0,5 % by volume (determination by the EN 14078 method).

1. For the purposes of heading 2712 , the expression ‘crude petroleum jelly’ (subheading 2712 10 10 ) is to be taken to apply to petroleum jelly of a natural colour higher than 4,5 by the ISO 2049 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 1500 method).

1. For the purposes of subheadings 2712 90 31 to 2712 90 39 , the term ‘crude’ is to be taken to apply to products:

(a) with an oil content of 3,5 % by weight or higher, if their viscosity at 100 °C is lower than 9 × 10^–6 m² s^–1 by the EN ISO 3104 method; or

(b) of a natural colour higher than 3 by the ISO 2049 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 1500 method), if their viscosity at 100 °C is 9 × 10^–6 m² s^–1 or higher by the EN ISO 3104 method.

1. For the purposes of headings 2710 , 2711 and 2712 , the term ‘specific process’ is to be taken to apply to the following operations:

(a) vacuum distillation;

(b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process;

(d) reforming;

(e) extraction by means of selective solvents;

(f) the process comprising all the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric anhydride; neutralisation with alkaline agents; decolorisation and purification with naturally active earth, activated earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;

(g) polymerisation;

(h) alkylation;

(ij) isomerisation;

(k) (in respect of products of subheadings 2710 19 31 to 2710 19 99 only) desulphurisation with hydrogen resulting in a reduction of at least 85 % of the sulphur content of the products processed (EN ISO 20846, EN ISO 20884 or EN ISO 14596 or EN ISO 24260, EN ISO 20847 and EN ISO 8754 methods);

(l) (in respect of products of heading 2710 only) deparaffining by a process other than filtering;

(m) (in respect of products of subheadings 2710 19 31 to 2710 19 99 only) treatment with hydrogen at a pressure of more than 20 bar and a temperature of more than 250 °C with the use of a catalyst, other than to effect desulphurisation, when the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a chemical reaction. The further treatment with hydrogen of lubricating oils of subheadings 2710 19 71 to 2710 19 99 (for example, hydrofinishing or decolorisation) in order, more especially, to improve colour or stability shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process;

(n) (in respect of products of subheadings 2710 19 51 to 2710 19 67 only) atmospheric distillation, on condition that less than 30 % of these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 °C by the ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 86 method). If 30 % or more by volume, including losses, of such products distils at 300 °C by the ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 86 method), the quantities of products which may be obtained during the atmospheric distillation and which fall in subheadings 2710 12 11 to 2710 12 90 or 2710 19 11 to 2710 19 29 shall be dutiable at the same rates as those provided for under subheadings 2710 19 62 to 2710 19 67 according to the kind and value of the products used and on the net weight of the products obtained. This rule shall not apply to products so obtained which, within a period of six months and subject to such other conditions as may be determined by the competent authorities, are to undergo a specific process or chemical transformation by a process not being a specific process;

(o) (in respect of products of subheadings 2710 19 71 to 2710 19 99 only) treatment by means of a high-frequency electrical brush-discharge;

(p) solely for products of subheading 2712 90 31 : de-oiling by fractional crystallisation.

Should any preparatory treatment prior to the above treatments be necessary by reason of technical requirements, the customs exemption is to apply only to the quantities of the products intended for and actually subjected to such of the above treatments; any waste products arising during preparatory treatment are also to be exempt from customs duty.

1. The quantities of products which may be obtained during chemical transformation, or during preparatory treatment which may be necessary by reason of technical requirements, and which fall in headings or subheadings 2707 10 00 , 2707 20 00 , 2707 30 00 , 2707 50 00 , 2710 , 2711 , 2712 10 , 2712 20 , 2712 90 31 to 2712 90 99 and 2713 90 are to be dutiable at the same rates as those provided for in respect of products ‘for other purposes’, according to the kind and value of the products used and on the net weight of the products obtained. This rule is not to apply to such products of headings 2710 to 2712 which, within a period of six months and subject to such other conditions as may be determined by the competent authorities, are to undergo a specific process or further chemical transformation.

Notes

1. (A) Goods (other than radioactive ores) answering to a description in heading 2844 or 2845 are to be classified in those headings and in no other heading of the nomenclature. (B) Subject to paragraph (A) above, goods answering to a description in heading 2843 , 2846 or 2852 are to be classified in those headings and in no other heading of this section.

1. Subject to note 1 above, goods classifiable in heading 3004 , 3005 , 3006 , 3212 , 3303 , 3304 , 3305 , 3306 , 3307 , 3506 , 3707 or 3808 by reason of being put up in measured doses or for retail sale are to be classified in those headings and in no other heading of the nomenclature.

1. Goods put up in sets consisting of two or more separate constituents, some or all of which fall in this section and are intended to be mixed together to obtain a product of Section VI or VII, are to be classified in the heading appropriate to that product, provided that the constituents are:

(a) having regard to the manner in which they are put up, clearly identifiable as being intended to be used together without first being repacked;

(b) presented together; and

(c) identifiable, whether by their nature or by the relative proportions in which they are present, as being complementary one to another.

1. Where a product answers to a description in one or more of the headings in Section VI by virtue of being described by name or function and also to heading 3827 , then it is classifiable in a heading that references the product by name or function and not under heading 3827 .

CHAPTER 28 INORGANIC CHEMICALS; ORGANIC OR INORGANIC COMPOUNDS OF PRECIOUS METALS, OF RARE-EARTH METALS, OF RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS OR OF ISOTOPES

Notes

1. Except where the context otherwise requires, the headings of this chapter apply only to:

(a) separate chemical elements and separate chemically defined compounds, whether or not containing impurities;

(b) the products mentioned in (a) above dissolved in water;

CHAPTER 29 ORGANIC CHEMICALS

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 2936 to 2939 or the sugar ethers, sugar acetals and sugar esters, and their salts, of heading 2940 , or the products of heading 2941 , 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 a 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 or an emetic 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 diazotizable amines and their salts.

1. This chapter does not cover:

(a) goods of heading 1504 or crude glycerol of heading 1520 ;

(b) ethyl alcohol (heading 2207 or 2208 );

(d) the compounds of carbon mentioned in note 2 to Chapter 28;

(e) immunological products of heading 3002 ;

(f) urea (heading 3102 or 3105 );

(g) colouring matter of vegetable or animal origin (heading 3203 ), synthetic organic colouring matter, synthetic organic products of a kind used as fluorescent brightening agents or as luminophores (heading 3204 ) or dyes or other colouring matter put up in forms or packings for retail sale (heading 3212 );

(h) enzymes (heading 3507 );

(ij) 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 3606 );

(k) products put up as charges for fire-extinguishers or put up in fire-extinguishing grenades, of heading 3813 ; ink removers put up in packings for retail sale, of heading 3824 ; or

(l) optical elements, for example, of ethylenediamine tartrate (heading 9001 ).

1. 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.

1. In headings 2904 to 2906 , 2908 to 2911 and 2913 to 2920 , any reference to halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives includes a reference to compound derivatives, such as sulphohalogenated, nitrohalogenated, nitrosulphonated or nitrosulphohalogenated derivatives.

Nitro or nitroso groups are not to be taken as ‘nitrogen-functions’ for the purposes of heading 2929 .

For the purposes of headings 2911 , 2912 , 2914 , 2918 and 2922 , ‘oxygen function’, the characteristic organic oxygen-containing group of those respective headings, is restricted to the oxygen-functions referred to in headings 2905 to 2920 .

1. (A) The esters of acid-function organic compounds of sub-chapters I to VII with organic compounds of these sub-chapters are to be classified with that compound which is classified in the heading which occurs last in numerical order in these sub-chapters. (B) Esters of ethyl alcohol with acid-function organic compounds of sub-chapters I to VII are to be classified in the same heading as the corresponding acid-function compounds. (C) Subject to note 1 to Section VI and note 2 to Chapter 28: (1) inorganic salts of organic compounds such as acid-, phenol- or enol-function compounds or organic bases, of sub-chapters I to X or heading 2942 , are to be classified in the heading appropriate to the organic compound; (2) salts formed between organic compounds of sub-chapters I to X or heading 2942 are to be classified in the heading appropriate to the base or to the acid (including phenol- or enol-function compounds) from which they are formed, whichever occurs last in numerical order in the chapter; and (3) coordination compounds, other than products classifiable in sub-chapter XI or heading 2941 , are to be classified in the heading which occurs last in numerical order in Chapter 29, among those appropriate to the fragments formed by ‘cleaving’ of all metal bonds, other than metal-carbon bonds. (D) Metal alcoholates are to be classified in the same heading as the corresponding alcohols except in the case of ethanol (heading 2905 ). (E) Halides of carboxylic acids are to be classified in the same heading as the corresponding acids.

1. The compounds of headings 2930 and 2931 are organic compounds the molecules of which contain, in addition to atoms of hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen, atoms of other non-metals or of metals (such as sulphur, arsenic or lead) directly linked to carbon atoms.

Heading 2930 (organo-sulphur compounds) and heading 2931 (other organo-inorganic compounds) do not include sulphonated or halogenated derivatives (including compound derivatives) which, apart from hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, only have directly linked to carbon the atoms of sulphur or of a halogen which give them their nature of sulphonated or halogenated derivatives (or compound derivatives).

1. Headings 2932 , 2933 and 2934 do not include epoxides with a three-membered ring, ketone peroxides, cyclic polymers of aldehydes or of thioaldehydes, anhydrides of polybasic carboxylic acids, cyclic esters of polyhydric alcohols or phenols with polybasic acids, or imides of polybasic acids.

These provisions apply only when the ring-position hetero-atoms are those resulting solely from the cyclising function or functions here listed.

1. For the purposes of heading 2937 :

(a) the term ‘hormones’ includes hormone-releasing or hormone-stimulating factors, hormone inhibitors and hormone antagonists (anti-hormones);

(b) the expression ‘used primarily as hormones’ applies not only to hormone derivatives and structural analogues used primarily for their hormonal effect, but also to those derivatives and structural analogues used primarily as intermediates in the synthesis of products of this heading.

Subheading notes

1. Within any one heading of this chapter, derivatives of a chemical compound (or group of chemical compounds) are to be classified in the same subheading as that compound (or group of compounds), provided that they are not more specifically covered by any other subheading and that there is no residual subheading named ‘Other’ in the series of subheadings concerned.

1. Note 3 to Chapter 29 does not apply to the subheadings of this chapter.
