Part II – Products of Tariff Headings ex 30.03 and ex 30.04 (Medicaments) for which Suspension of the CET under Article 83 of the Revised Treaty has been granted to St. Kitts and Nevis, other OECS Member States and Belize

SCHEDULE I – List of Conditions to be Complied with as Provided under Article 84 of

the Annex to the Treaty and the Rules Regarding Community Origin

The classification structure of the Schedule of Rates is based on the 2022 seventh edition Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, commonly known as the Harmonized System (HS). The Statistical Classification Numbers are based on the Standard International Trade Classification, Fourth Revision. The units for statistical classification are based on the metric system.

The General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System provide the principles on which classification under that System is based and are an integral part of the classification structure of the Schedule of Rates, as are the Section, Chapter and Additional CARICOM Guidelines.

The rates of duty shown in the Schedule of Rates will be applicable to imports from third countries into the Member States of the Caribbean Community as well as to goods traded among the Member States of the Caribbean Community which do not qualify for Community treatment.

In the Schedule of Rates, the letters A, C and D appear in the column headed rate of duty in several places throughout the Schedule. The inclusion of these letters instead of an actual tariff rate is intended to signify that reference should be made to one of the Lists, A, C and D, in which will be found the agreed Common External Tariff (CET) rates as well as the rates which the individual Member States will be applying pursuant to decisions taken by the Council for Trade and Economic Development.

The List of Conditional Duty Exemptions sets out those goods which, when imported for the purposes stated in the List, may be admitted into the importing Member State free of import duty or at a rate which is lower than that set down in the Schedule of Rates, subject always to the approval of the relevant Competent Authority of the Member State. LDC Member States may apply the facility of conditional duty exemption by the inclusion in their national Customs Tariffs of a `zero’ rate, or a rate lower than that shown in the Schedule of Rates, in accordance with the decision of COTED to so reflect the duty relief. Conditional duty exemption would be accorded to all other items eligible therefor in accordance with the Rules Governing the Application of the List of Conditional Duty Exemptions.

In Part I of the List of Items Ineligible for Duty Exemption are set down those items which

will not be eligible for the grant of exemption from duty (in whole or in part) where they are imported “For use in Industry, Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry and Mining” (Section I of the List of Conditional Duty Exemptions).

At the same time, the items set down in Parts I and II of the List of Items Ineligible for Duty Exemption will not be eligible for the grant of exemption from duty (in whole or in part) where they are imported “For Other Approved Purposes” (Section XI of the List of Conditional Duty Exemptions), except where the items have been made available as gifts or on a concessionary basis.

The List of Items Ineligible for Duty Exemption includes those items produced in the Caribbean Community in quantities which are considered adequate to justify the application of tariff protection. These items will not be eligible for the grant of exemption from duty (in whole or in part) where they are imported for use in Industry, Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry and Mining.

Except where the context otherwise requires, “per cent” or the symbol “%” means percentage of value.

Lists A, C and D provide as follows:

List A – A list of items on which suspension of the rates of duty in the Schedule of Rates under Article 83 of the Revised Treaty has been granted to Member States for an indefinite period subject to review by the COTED, with the rates to be applied by Member States;

List C – A list of items in respect of which minimum rates of duty have been agreed by the COTED, with the actual rates of duty to be applied by individual Member States;

List D – Parts I and II – Additional items in respect of which Suspension of the CET under Article 83 of the revised Treaty has been granted to St. Kitts and Nevis, other OECS Member States and Belize, with the actual Rates to be applied by those Member States.

ABOUT THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM

The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding Systems, usually referred to as the “Harmonized System” or “HS”, is a multipurpose 6-digit international commodity classification system used by governments, international organizations, as well as the private sector, as a basis for customs tariffs, international trade statistics, freight rates and production statistics. It is applied worldwide by over 180 countries which, together, roughly represent 98% of goods in international trade.

It is also a tool for the administration and enforcement of various national and international trade policies (e.g., Customs duties, Customs valuation, Rules of origin and monitoring quotas), for bilateral and multilateral trade negotiations (e.g., at the WTO) and for economic research and analysis. Over the years since its introduction in October 1988, the Harmonized System has become a truly universal and internationally accepted economic language, thus an indispensable tool in international trade. It offers uniformity in the treatment of goods from one country to another, for example –

• traders obtain consistent tariff treatment for imported goods
• researchers benefit from consistent classes of goods for trade statistics
• transporters can use consistent codes for commodities in trade
• economic negotiators can accurately compare trade figures.

The caretaker of the Harmonized System is the World Customs Organization (officially, the Customs Co-operation Council).

GENERAL STRUCTURE

The Harmonized System is a six-digit numbering system which has a logical class structure supported by Rules of Interpretation, as well as by a network of legal notes, in order to achieve the utmost in uniform classification of goods worldwide. It consists of 21 Sections, divided into 97 Chapters which comprise about 5,000 commodity classes.

It should be noted that Chapter 77 contains no classes and is reserved for possible future use in the Harmonized System, while Chapters 98 and 99 are used by Customs Administrations for national purposes to apply, for example, special transactions in trade.

The numbering system actually begins with the Chapter, then with the four-digit

Headings, then the six-digit subheadings being divisions of headings. The subheadings of the System are denoted by dashes, the one-dash subheadings being the primary divisions of a Heading, then the two-dash being the division of a one-dash subheading.

In the Harmonized System, many Sections and Chapters are preceded by Notes. These are known as Legal Notes because they have legal force as an integral part of the Harmonized System and, hence, the Customs Tariff which uses it as a basis. Section Notes, Chapter Notes and Subheading Notes are included in the international core of the Harmonized System Nomenclature. The international Legal Notes define the precise scope and limits of each Chapter, Section, Heading or Subheading. In the CET, there are also some Additional CARICOM Notes which have the same legal force as the Notes in the Harmonized System.

GENERAL RULES FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF THE HARMONIZED
SYSTEM

Classification of goods in the Nomenclature shall be governed by the following principles:

Rule 1

The titles of Sections, Chapters and Subchapters are provided for ease of reference only; for legal purposes, classification shall be determined according to the terms of the Headings and any relative Section or Chapter Notes and, provided such Headings or Notes do not otherwise require, according to the following provisions.

Rule 2

(a) Any reference in a Heading to an article shall be taken to include a reference to that article incomplete or unfinished, provided that, as presented, the incomplete or unfinished article has the essential character of the complete or finished article. It shall also be taken to include a reference to that article complete or finished (or falling to be classified as complete or finished by virtue of this Rule), presented unassembled or disassembled.

(b) Any reference in a Heading to a material or substance shall be taken to include a reference to mixtures or combinations of that material or substance with other materials or substances. Any reference to goods of a given material or substance shall be taken to include a reference to goods consisting wholly or partly of such material or substance. The classification of goods consisting of more than one material or substance shall be according to the principles of Rule 3.

Rule 3

When by application of Rule 2(b) or for any other reason, goods are, prima facie, classifiable under two or more Headings, classification shall be effected as follows:

(a) The Heading which provides the most specific description shall be preferred to Headings providing a more general description. However, when two or more

3

Headings each refer to part only of the materials or substances contained in mixed or composite goods or to part only of the items in a set put up for retail sale, those Headings are to be regarded as equally specific in relation to those goods, even if one of them gives a more complete or precise description of the goods.

(b) Mixtures, composite goods consisting of different materials or made up of different components, and goods put up in sets for retail sale, which cannot be classified by reference to 3(a), shall be classified as if they consisted of the material or component which gives them their essential character, insofar as this criterion is applicable.
(c) When goods cannot be classified by reference to 3(a) or 3(b), they shall be classified under the Heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration.

Rule 4

Goods which cannot be classified in accordance with the above Rules shall be classified under the Heading appropriate to the goods to which they are most akin.

Rule 5

In addition to the foregoing provisions, the following Rules shall apply in respect of the goods referred to therein:

(a) Camera cases, musical instrument cases, gun cases, drawing instrument cases, necklace cases and similar containers, specially shaped or fitted to contain a specific article or set of articles, suitable for long-term use and presented with the articles for which they are intended, shall be classified with such articles when of a kind normally sold therewith. This Rule does not, however, apply to containers which give the whole its essential character.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Rule 5(a) above, packing materials and packing containers presented with the goods therein shall be classified with the goods if they are of a kind normally used for packing such goods. However, this provision is not binding when such packing materials or packing containers are clearly

4

suitable for repetitive use.

Rule 6

For legal purposes, the classification of goods in the Subheadings of a Heading shall be determined according to the terms of those Subheadings and any related Subheading Notes and, mutatis mutandis, to the above Rules, on the understanding that only Subheadings at the same level are comparable. For the purposes of this Rule the relative Section and Chapter Notes also apply, unless the context otherwise requires.

ADDITIONAL RULE FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF THE COMMON EXTERNAL TARIFF (CET)

The classification of goods in a CET tariff item is determined according to the terms of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System. For the purpose of this Rule the relative Section, Chapter and Subheading Notes, as well as, any related CARICOM Additional Note, must be considered, and only Harmonized System Subheadings and CET tariff items at the same level may be compared.

THE GENERAL RULES EXPLAINED

The six General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System are, in fact, the most important legal text and constitute the backbone of this commodity classification. Whether users realize it or not, all commodities are classified according to these Rules which ensure that a product is classified in only one Heading or Subheading to the exclusions of any other with justifiable legal interpretation. Rules 1 to 5 applies to classification in Headings, while Rule 6 applies to classification in the Subheadings.

These Rules give the framework used to determine the classification of goods presented to a Customs Administration. If the goods cannot be easily determined by using Rule 1 or 2 as described below, then importer or agent usually consult with the National Customs Administration.

Here, we will examine each of the Rules which, it will be shown, are applied in numerical sequence.

GENERAL RULES FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM

Classification of goods in the Nomenclature shall be governed by the following principles:

Rule 1

The titles of Sections, Chapters and Subchapters are provided for ease of reference only; for legal purposes, classification shall be determined according to the terms of the Headings and any relative Section or Chapter Notes and, provided such Headings or Notes do not otherwise require, according to the following provisions.

This Rule is paramount and takes precedence over all the others. It is likely that over 90% of all goods are classified according to this rather straightforward Rule.

It states that the titles of Sections and Chapters are not part of the legal texts, that is, they have no legal force. As it is practically impossible to list all goods which might fit into a

6

Section or Chapter, the titles are only guidelines which give a general indication of what types of goods are covered, or where specific goods are likely to be located.

It also states that, for legal purposes, classification is determined by the terms of the Headings and of the Legal Notes. In other words, a user must examine all Legal Notes (that is Section Notes, Chapter Notes, Subheading Notes and Additional CARICOM Guidelines (i.e. inclusions, exclusions, definitions, etc.) under a Section or Chapter, then determine the Heading text which give the most appropriate description of the goods to be classified. Or, vice versa, after an appropriate Heading text is found, the Legal Notes must be examined to ensure that it is the correct one. This Rule sets the hierarchical order by stating that, if it is not possible to determine with certainty the Heading for a commodity, then classification is effected by applying the other Rules of Interpretation, for example, when two Headings are both equally appropriate classes for the goods.

Rule 2

(a) Any reference in a Heading to an article shall be taken to include a reference to that article incomplete or unfinished, provided that, as presented, the incomplete or unfinished article has the essential character of the complete or finished article. It shall also be taken to include a reference to that article complete or finished (or falling to be classified as complete or finished by virtue of this Rule), presented unassembled or disassembled.

This Rule essentially states that articles classifiable in a Heading will include those –

(i) articles which are incomplete or unfinished but have the essential character of the complete or finished article. For example automobiles without their engines or without wheels belong in 87.03 as automobiles. This part of Rule 2(a) extends to blanks which have been shaped and resemble the finished article, but which are unusable until the article is completed. For example, stainless steel table knife blanks which have the general shape of table knives but which are not completed nor sharpened and ready for use belong in 82.11. It is important that the products have the essential shape of the article in question to be regarded as blanks.

(ii) unassembled or disassembled articles which are incomplete or unfinished but have

7

the essential character of the complete or finished article. For example, unassembled hunting rifles without the bolt are classified as hunting rifles (93.03).

(iii) unassembled or disassembled articles which are complete or finished article. For example, a crate containing unassembled bicycles which have all the parts are classified in 87.12. They would likely be presented unassembled for ease of transport. It should be noted that extra parts are to be classified separately. Only the parts necessary to assemble one complete article are to be classified as that article. It should also be noted that, if the Heading text or the Legal Notes specifically exclude incomplete, unfinished, unassembled or disassembled articles from the Heading, then Rule 2(a) can not apply. The goods would therefore be classified in accordance with Rule 1.

(a) Any reference in a Heading to a material or substance shall be taken to include a reference to mixtures or combinations of that material or substance with other materials or substances. Any reference to goods of a given material or substance shall be taken to include a reference to goods consisting wholly or partly of such material or substance. The classification of goods consisting of more than one material or substance shall be according to the principles of Rule 3 (b).

There are three parts to Rule 2(b) which, in fact, extends the scope of a great number of Headings in the Harmonized System.
The first part deals with materials or substances mixed or combined with other materials or substances. A Heading in which there is reference to a given material or substance will include mixtures or combinations of that material or substance.

The second parts deals with goods of a given material or substance. It states that such goods includes those goods consisting wholly or partly of such material or substance.

The third part states that the goods mentioned in the first and second part are classified according to the principles of Rule 3. It is noted that Rule 2(b) does not inform users on how to classify the goods, but merely states that, in such circumstances, Rule 3 applies.

Similar to Rule 2(a), it should also be noted that, if the Heading text or a Legal Notes

8

referring to the Heading specifically exclude or specifically includes mixtures or combinations, then Rule 2(b) can not apply. The goods would therefore be classified in accordance with Rule 1.

Also, if a material or substance when mixed or combined completely changes, or is entirely deprived of its character or nature, or can no longer answers the description as stated in a Heading text, then Rule 2 cannot apply.

Rule 3

When by application of Rule 2(b) or for any other reason, goods are, prima facie, classifiable under two or more Headings, classification shall be effected as follows:

This preamble of Rule 3 states that when, because of Rule 2(b) or for any other reason, goods are, at first sight, classifiable under two or more Headings, then the following three Rules apply. The order of these Rules is important. First, 3(a) is considered, and if that fails, then Rule 3(b) is considered, and if that fails, Rule 3(c) is considered, in that order.

It should be recalled that Rule 1 is paramount, and users must ensure that the terms of Headings or associated Legal Notes do not otherwise require before moving on to Rule 3. So, the texts of all appropriate Headings and the Legal Notes (of Sections and Chapters) must always be examined in detail.

The priority of Rules 3(a), 3(b) and 3(c) in summary are –

• specific description
• essential character
• numerical order

3(a) The Heading which provides the most specific description shall be preferred to Headings providing a more general description. However, when two or more Headings each refer to part only of the materials orsubstances contained in mixed or composite goods or to part only of the items in a set put up for retail sale, those Headings are to be

9

regarded as equally specific in relation to those goods, even if one of them gives a more complete or precise description of the goods.

Rule 3(a) deals mainly with specific description of the goods. There are two parts to this Rule.

The first part (the first sentence) refers to the Heading texts themselves, and generally does not cover mixed or composite materials or substances, nor to items in a set put up for retail sale. A Heading which give a specific description of the goods (the one which comes closest to actually naming the product) will be preferred to a Heading which give a more general description. In other words, according to this Rule, classification is achieved by giving preference to the Heading which describes the intrinsic characteristics of goods (that is, what they actually consist of) as opposed to a Heading which gives other details, for example, their end use.

Users are usually able to come to a conclusion about which text give a more specific description of the goods. However, depending on the product, it can occasionally be very difficult to determine and, following a proper examination of the Headings involved, it might be necessary to proceed to Rule 3(b).

The second part (the second sentence) deals generally with the classification of mixed or composite goods, as well as with items in a set put up for retail sale.

If more than one Heading mention only part of the material or substance in a mixed or composite goods, then both are said to be equally specific even if one of them give a more complete or precise description.

The same principle is applied with regard to items in a set put up for retail sale. If more than one Heading refer to one of the items in the set, then those Headings are said to be equally specific even if one of them give a more complete or precise description. Goods in sets put up for retail sale are those which –

• consist of two or more articles
• together meet a particular need or carry out a specific activity
• are put up in a common container or in a manner suitable for sale directly to users without repacking.

10

All three (3) conditions must be met.

Note that the second part of Rule 3(a) does not state how to classify products when more than one Heading are so regarded as equally specific. Users must then proceed to Rule 3(b).

It should again be recalled that, as always, Rule 1 is paramount, and users must ensure that the terms of Headings or associated Legal Notes do not otherwise require before
moving on to Rule 3(b). So, the texts of all appropriate Headings and the Legal Notes (of Sections and Chapters) must always be examined in detail.

3(b) Mixtures, composite goods consisting of different materials or made up of different components, and goods put up in sets for retail sale, which cannot be classified by reference to 3(a), shall be classified as if they consisted of the material or component which gives them their essential character, insofar as this criterion is applicable.

Rule 3(b) give the classification principle if goods cannot be classified with Rule 3(a). It deals with the essential character of the goods.

This Rule only relates to –

• mixtures
• composite goods
• goods put up in sets for retail sales

In all cases, classification is determined according to the material or component which can be regarded as conferring the essential character on the mixture, composite good or set for retail sale, assuming that this criterion can be applied. Essential character will vary depending on the type of good in question. Some of the factors which might determine the essential character of a product are:

• quantity
• bulk
• weight
• value

1

• nature of the components role of a component

3(c) When goods cannot be classified by reference to 3(a) or 3(b), they shall be classified under the Heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration.

Rule 3(c) is used only when Rules 3(a) and 3(b) fail. Here, goods are classified according to the Heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merited consideration. This Rule is used when the Heading which provides the most specific description cannot be determined according to Rule 3(a) or when the essential character cannot be conferred on one component of a set or mixture according to Rule 3(b).

Rule 4

Goods which cannot be classified in accordance with the above Rules shall be classified under the Heading appropriate to the goods to which they are most akin.

This Rule is practically never used, and only in cases when classification cannot be achieved by using the previous Rules, which is quite rare. Virtually all products, whether or not new in trade, can be classified according to the other Rules.

Essentially, when using this Rule, two Headings are not being considered as possibilities, and classification is achieved by comparing the goods with similar goods of a Heading, that is, the goods are classified in the same Heading as goods to which they are most akin. Several factors might be taken into account when considering a good’s kinship, for example, its general description, its use and its nature.

Before moving on to Rule 4, Customs officers should consult with their supervisors.

Rule 5

In addition to the foregoing provisions, the following Rules shall apply in respect of the goods referred to therein:

12

Rule 5 directs the classification of containers which are presented with articles.

5(a) Camera cases, musical instrument cases, gun cases, drawing instrument cases, necklace cases and similar containers, specially shaped or fitted to contain a specific article or set of articles, suitable for long-term use and presented with the articles for which they are intended, shall be classified with such articles when of a kind normally sold therewith. This Rule does not, however, apply to containers which give the whole its essential character.

Rule 5(a) essentially covers the classification of containers presented with the articles for which they are intended. Such containers are classified with the articles as long as they

• are specifically shaped or fitted to contain specific articles, that is, specifically designed or shaped to accommodate the article
• are suitable for long-term use, e.g., durability
• are presented with the articles for which they are intended, although they might be separately packed for convenience of transport
• are normally sold with such articles
• do not confer to the whole its essential character

Such containers, when imported alone that is not with the article for which they are intended are classified as containers (usually in 42.02).
If a product is presented with two containers which both meet the criteria to be classified with the article (an import with a spare container), then one of the containers is classified with the article while the other must be classified separately.

5(b) Subject to the provisions of Rule 5(a) above, packing materials and packing containers presented with the goods therein shall be classified
with the goods if they are of a kind normally used for packing such goods. However, this provision is not binding when such packing materials or packing containers are clearly suitable for repetitive use.

Rule 5(b) states that packing materials and packing containers are classified with the goods they contain, as long as they are of a kind normally used for packing such goods.

13

However, the Rule is not binding if the packing materials or packing containers are clearly suitable for repetitive use.

Rule 6

For legal purposes, the classification of goods in the Subheadings of a Heading shall be determined according to the terms of those Subheadings and any related Subheading Notes and, mutatis mutandis, to the above Rules, on the understanding that only Subheadings at the same level are comparable. For the purposes of this Rule the relative Section and Chapter Notes also apply, unless the context otherwise requires.

Rule 6 becomes relevant only after the goods have been classified at the Heading level.

This rule states that the classification of goods in the Subheadings is to be determined according to the terms of those Subheadings and any related Subheading Notes, as well as according to the terms of Rules 1 to 5 above, as long as the necessary changes have been applied (mutatis mutandis).

It is important to note that only Subheadings at the same level are to be compared, that is, one-dash Subheadings can only be compared with the other one-dash Subheadings under the same Heading, and two-dash Sub-headings can only be compared with the other two-dash Subheadings under the same one-dash Subheading.

In addition, unless the context of the Subheadings otherwise requires, the Section and Chapter Notes also apply to the Subheadings.

SECTION I
LIVE ANIMALS; ANIMAL PRODUCTS

Notes.

1. Any reference in this Section to a particular genus or species of an animal, except where the context otherwise requires, includes a reference to the young of that genus or species.
2. Except where the context otherwise requires, throughout the Nomenclature any reference to “dried” products also covers products which have been dehydrated, evaporated, or freeze-dried.

CHAPTER I LIVE ANIMALS

Note.
This Chapter covers all live animals except:

1. (a) Fish and crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, of heading 03.01, 03.06, 03.07, or 03.08;
   (b) Cultures of micro-organisms and other products of heading 30.02; and
2. Animals of heading 95.08.

Additional CARICOM Guideline.
For the purposes of Subheading 0102.21 and 0102.29, the term “cattle” refers only to bovine animals of the genus Bos, which is divided into four sub-genera, i.e., Bos, Bibos, Novibos and Poephagus. They cover what may be regarded as the common farm cow and bull. In these subheadings, the terms cows and bulls include calves.
These animals may be wild or domesticated. They are, however, usually domesticated or tamed and adapted to being under human control and are generally provided with food and home by humans.

CHAPTER 4

DAIRY PRODUCE; BIRDS’ EGGS; NATURAL HONEY;
EDIBLE PROCTS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN, NOT ELSEWHERE SPECIFIED OR INCLUDED

Notes.

1. The expression “milk” means full cream milk or partially or completely skimmed milk.
2. For the purposes of heading 04.03, yogurt may be concentrated or flavoured and may contain added sugar or other sweetening matter, fruit, nuts, cocoa, chocolate, spices, coffee or coffee extracts, plants, parts of plants, cereals or bakers’ wares, provided that any added substance is not used for the purpose of replacing, in whole or in part, any milk constituent, and the product retains the essential character of yogurt.
3. For the purposes of heading 04.05:

(a) The term “butter” means natural butter, whey butter or recombined butter (fresh, salted or rancid, including canned butter) derived exclusively from milk, with a milkfat content of 80% or more but not more than 95% by weight, a maximum milk solids-not-fat content of 2% by weight and a maximum water content of 16% by weight. Butter does not contain added emulsifiers, but may contain sodium chloride, food colours, neutralising salts and cultures of harmless lactic-acid-producing bacteria.

(b) The expression “dairy spreads” means a spreadable emulsion of the water- in-oil type, containing milkfat as the only fat in the product, with a milkfat content of 39% or more but less than 80% by weight.

4. Products obtained by the concentration of whey and with the addition of milk or milkfat are to be classified as cheese in heading 04.06 provided that they have the three following characteristics:

(a) a milkfat content, by weight of the dry matter, of 5% or more;

(b) a dry matter content, by weight, of at least 70% but not exceeding 85%; and

(c) they are moulded or capable of being moulded.

5. This Chapter does not cover:

(a) Non-living insects, unfit for human consumption (heading 05.11);

(b) Products obtained from whey, containing by weight more than 95% lactose, expressed as anhydrous lactose calculated on the dry matter (heading 17.02);

(c) Products obtained from milk by replacing one or more of its natural constituents (for example, butyric fats) by another substance (for example, oleic fats) (heading 19.01 or 21.06); or

(d) Albumins (including concentrates of two or more whey proteins, containing by weight more than 80% whey proteins, calculated on the dry matter) (heading 35.02) or globulins (heading 35.04)

6. For the purposes of heading 04.10, the term “insects” means edible non- living insects, whole or in parts, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, smoked, salted or in brine, as well as flours and meals of insects, fit for human consumption. However, it does not cover edible non-living insects otherwise prepared or preserved (generally Section IV).

Subheading Notes.

1. For the purposes of subheading 0404.10, the expression “modified whey” means products consisting of whey constituents, that is, whey from which all or part of the lactose, proteins or minerals have been removed, whey to which natural whey constituents have been added, and products obtained by mixing natural whey constituents.
2. For the purposes of subheading 0405.10 the term “butter” does not include dehydrated butter or ghee (subheading 0405.90).

CHAPTER 8

EDIBLE FRUIT AND NUTS; PEEL OF CITRUS FRUIT OR MELONS

Notes.

1. This Chapter does not cover inedible nuts or fruits.
2. Chilled fruits and nuts are to be classified in the same headings as the corresponding fresh fruits and nuts.
3. Dried fruit or dried nuts of this Chapter may be partially rehydrated, or treated for the following purposes –

(a) For additional preservation or stabilisation (for example, by moderate heat treatment, sulphuring, the addition of sorbic acid or potassium sorbate),

(b) To improve or maintain their appearance (for example, by the addition of vegetable oil or small quantities of glucose syrup), provided that they retain the character of dried fruit or dried nuts.

4. Heading 08.12 applies to fruit and nuts which have been treated solely to ensure their provisional preservation during transport or storage prior to use (for example, by sulphur dioxide gas, in brine, in sulphur water or in other preservative solutions), provided they remain unsuitable for immediate consumption in that state.

CHAPTER 16

PREPARATIONS OF MEAT, OF FISH, OF CRUSTACEANS, MOLLUSCS OR OTHER AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES OR OF INSECTS

Notes.

1. This Chapter does not cover meat, meat offal, fish, crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, as well as insects, prepared or preserved by the processes specified in Chapter 2 or 3, Note 6 to Chapter 4 or in heading 05.04.
2. Food preparations fall in this Chapter provided that they contain more than 20% by weight of sausage, meat, meat offal, blood, insects, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, or any combination thereof. In cases where the preparation contains two or more of the products mentioned above, it is classified in the heading of Chapter l6 corresponding to the component or components which predominate by weight. These provisions do not apply to the stuffed products of heading 19.02 or to the preparations of heading 21.03 or 21.04.

Subheading Notes.

1. For the purposes of subheading 1602.10, the expression “homogenised preparations” means preparations of meat, meat offal, blood or insects, finely homogenised, put up for retail sale as food suitable for infants or young children or for dietetic purposes, in containers of a net weight content not exceeding 250 g. For the application of this definition no account is to be taken of small quantities of any ingredients which may have been added to the preparation for seasoning, preservation or other purposes. These preparations may contain a small quantity of visible pieces of meat, meat offal or insects. This subheading takes precedence over all other subheadings of heading 16.02.
2. The fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates specified in the subheadings of heading 16.04 or 16.05 under their common names only, are of the same species as those mentioned in Chapter 3 under the same name.

(a) Vegetables, fruit or nuts, prepared or preserved by the processes specified in Chapter 7, 8 or 11;
(b) Vegetable fats and oils (chapter 15);

(c) Food preparations containing more than 20% by weight of sausage, meat, meat offal, blood, insects, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, or any combination thereof (Chapter 16);

(d) Bakers’ wares and other products of heading 19.05; or

(e) Homogenised composite food preparations of heading 21.04.

2. Headings 20.07 and 20.08 do not apply to fruit jellies, fruit pastes, sugar-coated almonds or the like in the form of sugar confectionery (heading 17.04) or chocolate confectionery (heading 18.06).
3. Headings 20.01, 20.04 and 20.05 cover, as the case may be, only those products of Chapter 7 or of heading 11.05 or 11.06 (other than flour, meal and powder of the products of Chapter 8) which have been prepared or preserved by processes other than those referred to in Note 1(a).
4. Tomato juice the dry weight content of which is 7% or more is to be classified in heading 20.02.
5. For the purposes of heading 20.07, the expression “obtained by cooking” means obtained by heat treatment at atmospheric pressure or under reduced pressure to increase the viscosity of a product through reduction of water content or other means.
6. For the purposes of heading 20.09, the expression “juices, unfermented and not containing added spirit” means juices of an alcoholic strength by volume (see Note 2 to Chapter 22) not exceeding 0.5% vol.

Subheading Notes.

1. For the purposes of subheading 2005.10, the expression “homogenised vegetables” means preparations of vegetables, finely homogenised, put up for retail sale as food suitable for infants or young children or for dietetic purposes, in containers of a

net weight content not exceeding 250g. For the application of this definition no account is to be taken of small quantities of any ingredients which may have been added to the preparation for seasoning, preservation or other purposes. These preparations may contain a small quantity of visible pieces of vegetables. Subheading 2005.10 takes precedence over all other subheadings of heading 20.05.

2. For the purposes of subheading 2007.10, the expression “homogenised preparations” means preparations of fruit, finely homogenised, put up for retail sale as food suitable for infants or young children or for dietetic purposes, in containers of a net weight content not exceeding 250 g. For the application of this definition no account is to be taken of small quantities of any ingredients which may have been added to the preparation for seasoning, preservation or other purposes. These preparations may contain a small quantity of visible pieces of fruit. Subheading 2007.10 takes precedence over all other subheadings of heading 20.07.
3. For the purposes of subheadings 2009.12, 2009.21, 2009.31, 2009.41.00, 2009.61 and 2009.71, the expression “Brix value” means the direct reading of degrees Brix obtain from a Brix hydrometer or of refractive index expressed in terms of percentage sucrose content obtained from a refractometer, at a temperature of 200 C or corrected for 200 C if the reading is made at a different temperature.

Additional CARICOM Guidelines.

1. Reconstituted juices, i.e., products obtained by the addition of a quantity of water not exceeding that contained in similar non-concentrated juices of normal composition, are classified in this Chapter. However, fruit juices in which one of the constituents (e.g., water, citric acid or essential oil extracted from the fruit) has been added in such quantity that the balance of the different constituents as found in the natural juice is clearly upset, and the natural juice has lost its original character, are classified in Heading 21.06 or in Chapter 22.
2. Coconut milk, generally consisting of coconut flesh extract (57%) and water (43%), put up for retail sale, is classified in Heading 21.06.
3. For the purposes of Subheadings 2009.61 and 2009.69, grape must partially fermented (whether or not fermentation has been arrested) and unfermented grape must with alcohol added, both having an alcoholic strength by volume exceeding 0.5 % vol., are classified in Heading 22.04.

2. For the purposes of headings 26.01 to 26.17, the term “ores” means minerals of mineralogical species actually used in the metallurgical industry for the extraction of mercury, of the metals of heading 28.44 or of the metals of Section XIV or XV, even if they are intended for non-metallurgical purposes. Headings 26.01 to 26.17 do not, however, include minerals which have been submitted to processes not normal to the metallurgical industry.
3. Heading 26.20 applies only to:

(a) Slag, ash and residues of a kind used in industry either for the extraction of metals or as a basis for the manufacture of chemical compounds of metals, excluding ash and residues from the incineration of municipal waste (heading 26.21); and

(b) Slag, ash and residues containing arsenic, whether or not containing metals, of a kind used either for the extraction of arsenic or metals or for the manufacture of their chemical compounds.

Subheading Notes.

1. For the purposes of subheading 2620.21, “leaded gasoline sludges and leaded anti- knock compound sludges” mean sludges obtained from storage tanks of leaded gasoline and leaded anti-knock compounds (for example, tetraethyl lead), and consisting essentially of lead, lead compounds and iron oxide.

CHAPTER 27

MINERAL FUELS, MINERAL OILS AND PRODUCTS OF THEIR DISTILLATION; BITUMINOUS SUBSTANCES;
MINERAL WAXES

1. This Chapter does not cover:

(a) Separate chemically defined organic compounds, other than pure methane and propane which are to be classified in heading 27.11;

(b) Medicaments of heading 30.03 or 30.04; or

(c) Mixed unsaturated hydrocarbons of heading 33.01, 33.02 or 38.05.

2. References in heading 27.10 to “petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals” include not only petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals but also similar oils, as well as those consisting mainly of mixed unsaturated hydrocarbons, obtained by any process, provided that the weight of the non-aromatic constituents exceeds that of the aromatic constituents.

However, the references do not include liquid synthetic polyolefins of which less than 60% by volume distils at 300oC, after conversion to 1,013 millibars when a reduced-pressure distillation method is used (Chapter 39).

3. For the purposes of heading 27.10, “waste oils” means waste containing mainly petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals (as described in Note 2 to this Chapter), whether or not mixed with water. These include:

(a) Such oils no longer fit for use as primary products (for example, used lubricating oils, used hydraulic oils and used transformer oils);

(b) Sludge oils from the storage tanks of petroleum oils, mainly containing such oils and a high concentration of additives (for example, chemicals) used in the manufacture of the primary products; and

(c) Such oils in the form of emulsions in water or mixtures with water, such as those resulting from oil spills, storage tank washings, or from the use of cutting oils for machining operations.

Sub-heading Notes.

1. For the purposes of subheading 2701.11, “anthracite” means coal having a volatile matter limit (on a dry, mineral-matter-free basis) not exceeding 14%.
2. For the purposes of subheading 2701.12, “bituminous coal” means coal having a volatile matter limit (on a dry, mineral-matter-free basis) exceeding 14% and a calorific value limit (on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis) equal to or greater

155

than 5,833 kcal/kg.

3. For the purposes of subheadings 2707.10, 2707.20, 2707.30 and 2707.40 the terms “benzol (benzene)”, “toluol (toluene)”, “xylol (xylenes)” and “naphthalene” apply to products which contain more than 50% by weight of benzene, toluene, xylenes or naphthalene, respectively.
4. For the purposes of subheadings 2710.12, “light oils and preparations” are those of which 90% or more by volume (including losses) distil at 210oC according to the ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D86 method).
5. For the purposes of the subheadings of heading 27.10, 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.

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;

(c) The products mentioned in (a) 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;

(d) The products mentioned in (a), (b) or (c) above with an added stabiliser (including an anti-caking agent) necessary for their preservation or transport;

(e) The products mentioned in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above with an added anti- dusting agent or a colouring 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.

2. In addition to dithionites and sulphoxylates, stabilised with organic substances (heading 28.31), carbonates and peroxocarbonates of inorganic bases (heading 28.36), cyanides, cyanide oxides and complex cyanides of inorganic bases (heading 28.37), fulminates, cyanates and thiocyanates, of inorganic bases (heading 28.42), organic products included in headings 28.43 to 28.46 and 28.52 and carbides (heading 28.49), only the following compounds of carbon are to be classified in this Chapter:

(a) Oxides of carbon, hydrogen cyanide and fulminic, isocyanic, thiocyanic and other simple or complex cyanogen acids (heading 28.11);

(b) Halide oxides of carbon (heading 28.12);

(c) Carbon disulphide (heading 28.13);

(d) Thiocarbonates, selenocarbonates, tellurocarbonates, selenocyanates, tellurocyanates, tetrathiocyanato-diamminochromates (reineckates) and other complex cyanates, of inorganic bases (heading 28.42);

(e) Hydrogen peroxide, solidified with urea (heading 28.47), carbon oxysulphide, thiocarbonyl halides, cyanogen, cyanogen halides and cyanamide and its metal derivatives (heading 28.53) other than calcium cyanamide, whether or not pure (Chapter 31).

3. Subject to the provisions of Note 1 to Section VI, this Chapter does not cover:

(a) Sodium chloride or magnesium oxide, whether or not pure, or other products of Section V;

(b) Organo-inorganic compounds other than those mentioned in Note 2 above;

(c) Products mentioned in Note 2, 3, 4 or 5 to Chapter 31;

(d) Inorganic products of a kind used as luminophores, of heading 32.06; glass frit and other glass in the form of powder, granules or flakes, of heading 32.07;

(e) Artificial graphite (heading 38.01); products put up as charges for fire-extinguishers or put up in fire-extinguishing grenades, of heading 38.13; ink removers put up in packings for retail sale, of heading 38.24; cultured crystals (other than optical elements) weighing not less than 2.5g each, of the halides of the alkali or alkaline-earth metals, of heading 38.24;

(f) Precious or semi-precious stones (natural, synthetic or reconstructed) or dust or powder of such stones (headings 71.02 to 71.05), or precious metals or precious metal alloys of Chapter 71;

(g) The metals, whether or not pure, metal alloys or cermets, including sintered metal carbides (metal carbides sintered with a metal), of Section XV; or
(h) Optical elements, for example, of the halides of the alkali or alkaline-earth metals (heading 90.01).

4. Chemically defined complex acids consisting of a non-metal acid of sub-Chapter II and a metal acid of sub-Chapter IV are to be classified in heading 28.11.
5. Headings 28.26 to 28.42 apply only to metal or ammonium salts or peroxysalts.
   1.1.2 Except where the context otherwise requires, double or complex salts are to be classified in heading 28.42.
6. Heading 28.44 applies only to:

(a) Technetium (atomic No. 43), promethium (atomic No. 61), polonium (atomic No. 84) and all elements with an atomic number greater than 84;

(b) Natural or artificial radioactive isotopes (including those of the precious metals or of the base metals of Sections XIV and XV), whether or not mixed together;

(c) Compounds, inorganic or organic, of these elements or isotopes, whether or not chemically defined, whether or not mixed together;

(d) Alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing these elements or isotopes or inorganic or organic compounds thereof and having a specific radioactivity exceeding 74 Bq/g (0.002 µ Ci/g).

(e) Spent (irradiated) fuel elements (cartridges) of nuclear reactors;

(f) Radioactive residues whether or not usable.

The term “isotopes”, for the purposes of this Note and of the wording of headings
28.44 and 28.45, refers to:

• individual nuclides, excluding, however, those existing in nature in the monoisotopic state;
• mixtures of isotopes of one and the same element, enriched in one or several of the said isotopes, that is, elements of which the natural isotopic composition has been artificially modified.

1. Heading 28.53 includes copper phosphide (phosphor copper) containing more than 15% by weight of phosphorus.
2. Chemical elements (for example, silicon and selenium) doped for use in electronics are to be classified in this Chapter, provided that they are in forms unworked as drawn, or in the form of cylinders or rods. When cut in the form of discs, wafers or similar forms, they fall in heading 38.18.

Subheading Note.

1. For the purposes of subheading 2852.10, the expression “chemically defined” means all organic or inorganic compounds of mercury meeting the requirements of paragraphs (a) to (e) of Note 1 to Chapter 28 or paragraphs (a) to (h) of Note 1 to Chapter 29.

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 29.36 to 29.39 or the sugar ethers, sugar acetals and sugar esters, and their salts, of heading 29.40, 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 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 diazotisable amines and their salts.

173

2. This Chapter does not cover:

(a) Goods of heading 15.04 or crude glycerol of heading 15.20;

(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) Immunological products of heading 30.02;

(f) Urea (heading 31.02 or 31.05);

(g) Colouring matter of vegetable or animal origin (heading 32.03), 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);

(h) Enzymes (heading 35.07);

(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 36.06);

(k) Products put up as charges for fire-extinguishers or put up in fire- extinguishing grenades, of heading 38.13; ink removers put up in packings for retail sale, of heading 38.24; or

(l) 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 29.11 and 29.13 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.

Nitro or nitroso groups are not to be taken as “nitrogen-functions” for the purposes of heading 29.29.

For the purposes of headings 29.11, 29.12, 29.14, 29.18 and 29.22,

174

“oxygen function”, the characteristic organic oxygen-containing group of those respective headings, is restricted to the oxygen-functions referred to in headings 29.05 to 29.20.

5. (A) The esters of acid-function organic compounds of sub-Chapters 1 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 or glycerol 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 29.42., 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 29.42. 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) Co-ordination compounds, other than products classifiable in sub- Chapter XI or heading 29.41, are to be classified in the heading which occurs last in the 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 29.05).

(E) Halides of carboxylic acids are to be classified in the same heading as the corresponding acids.

6. The compounds of headings 29.30 and 29.31 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 29.30 (organo-sulphur compounds) and heading 29.31 (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).

7. Headings 29.32, 29.33 and 29.34 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.

8. For the purposes of heading 29.37:

(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.
2. Note 3 to Chapter 29 does not apply to the subheadings of this Chapter.

238

2. (A) For the purpose of heading 38.22, 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 38.22 shall take precedence over any other heading in the Nomenclature.

3. Heading 38.24 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;

4. 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

6. For the purposes of heading 38.25, 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 27.10).

7. For the purposes of heading 38.26, 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.

PLASTICS AND ARTICLES THEREOF; RUBBER AND ARTICLES THEREOF

Notes.

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.

2. Except for the goods of heading 39.18 or 39.19, plastics, rubber, and articles thereof, printed with motifs, characters or pictorial representations, which are not merely subsidiary to the primary use of the goods, fall in Chapter 49.

CHAPTER 39

PLASTICS AND ARTICLES THEREOF

Notes.

1. Throughout the Nomenclature the expression “plastics” means those materials of headings 39.01 to 39.14 which are or have been capable, either at the moment of polymerisation or at some subsequent stage, of being formed under external influence (usually heat and pressure, if necessary, with a solvent or plasticiser) by moulding, casting, extruding, rolling or other process into shapes which are retained on the removal of the external influence.

Throughout the Nomenclature any reference to “plastics” also includes vulcanised fibre. The expression, however, does not apply to materials regarded as textile materials of Section XI.

2. This Chapter does not cover:

(a) Lubricating preparations of heading 27.10 or 34.03;

(b) Waxes of heading 27.12 or 34.04;

(c) Separate chemically defined organic compounds (Chapter 29);

(d) Heparin or its salts (heading 30.01);

(e) Solutions (other than collodions) consisting of any of the products specified in headings 39.01 to 39.13 in volatile organic solvents when the weight of the solvent exceeds 50% of the weight of the solution (heading 32.08); stamping foils of heading 32.12;

(f) Organic surface-active agents or preparations of heading 34.02;

(g) Run gums or ester gums (heading 38.06);

(h) Prepared additives for mineral oils (including gasoline) or for other liquids used for the same purposes as mineral oils (heading 38.11);

(ij) Prepared hydraulic fluids based on polyglycols, silicones or other polymers of Chapter 39 (heading 38.19);

(k) Diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing of plastics (heading 38.22);

(l) Synthetic rubber, as defined for the purposes of Chapter 40, or articles

252

thereof;
(m) Saddlery or harness (heading 42.01) or trunks, suitcases, handbags or other containers of heading 42.02;

(n) Plaits, wickerwork or other articles of Chapter 46;

(o) Wall coverings of heading 48.14;

(p) Goods of Section XI (textiles and textile articles);

(q) Articles of Section XII (for example, footwear, headgear, umbrellas, sun umbrellas, walking-sticks, whips, riding-crops or parts thereof);

(r) Imitation jewellery of heading 71.17;

(s) Articles of Section XVI (machines and mechanical or electrical appliances);

(t) Parts of aircraft or vehicles of Section XVII;

(u) Articles of Chapter 90 (for example, optical elements, spectacle frames, drawing instruments);

(v) Articles of Chapter 91 (for example, clock or watch cases) ;

(w) Articles of Chapter 92 (for example, musical instruments or parts thereof);

(x) Articles of Chapter 94 (for example, furniture, luminaires and lighting fittings, illuminated signs, prefabricated buildings);

(y) Articles of Chapter 95 (for example, toys, games, sports requisites); or

(z) Articles of Chapter 96 (for example, brushes, buttons, slide fasteners, combs, mouthpieces or stems for smoking pipes, cigarette-holders or the like, parts of vacuum flasks or the like, pens, propelling pencils, and monopods, bipods, tripods and similar articles).

3. Headings 39.01 to 39.11 apply only to goods of a kind produced by chemical synthesis, falling in the following categories –

(a) Liquid synthetic polyolefins of which less than 60% by volume distils at 300oC, after conversion to 1,013 millibars when a reduced-pressure distillation method is used (headings 39.01 and 39.02);

(b) Resins, not highly polymerised, of the coumarone-indene type (heading 39.11);

253

(c) Other synthetic polymers with an average of at least 5 monomer units;

(d) Silicones (heading 39.10);

(e) Resols (heading 39.09) and other prepolymers.

4. The expression “copolymers” covers all polymers in which no single monomer unit contributes 95% or more by weight to the total polymer content.

For the purposes of this Chapter, except where the context otherwise requires, copolymers (including co-polycondensates, co-polyaddition products, block copolymers and graft copolymers) and polymer blends are to be classified in the heading covering polymers of that comonomer unit which predominates by weight over every other single comonomer unit. For the purposes of this Note, constituent comonomer units of polymers falling in the same heading shall be taken together.

If no single comonomer unit predominates, copolymers or polymer blends, as the case may be, are to be classified in the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration.

5. Chemically modified polymers, that is those in which only appendages to the main polymer chain have been changed by chemical reaction, are to be classified in the heading appropriate to the unmodified polymer. This provision does not apply to graft copolymers.
6. In headings 39.01 to 39.14, the expression “primary forms” applies only to the following forms:

(a) Liquids and pastes, including dispersions (emulsions and suspensions) and solutions;

(b) Blocks of irregular shape, lumps, powders (including moulding powders), granules, flakes and similar bulk forms.

7. Heading 39.15 does not apply to waste, parings and scrap of a single thermoplastic material, transformed into primary forms (headings 39.01 to 39.14).
8. For the purposes of heading 39.17, the expression “tubes, pipes and hoses” means hollow products, whether semi-manufactures or finished products, of a kind generally used for conveying, conducting or distributing gases or liquids (for example, ribbed garden hose, perforated tubes). This expression also includes sausage casings and other lay-flat tubing. However, except for the last-mentioned, those having an internal cross-section other than round, oval, rectangular (in which the length does not exceed 1.5 times the width) or in the shape of a regular polygon are not to be regarded as tubes, pipes and hoses but as profile shapes.
9. For the purposes of heading 39.18, the expression “wall or ceiling coverings of plastics” applies to products in rolls, of a width not less than 45 cm, suitable for

254

wall or ceiling decoration, consisting of plastics fixed permanently on a backing of
any material other than paper, the layer of plastics (on the face side) being grained, embossed, coloured, design-printed or otherwise decorated.

10. In headings 39.20 and 39.21, the expression “plates, sheets, film, foil and strip” applies only to plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (other than those of Chapter 54) and to blocks of regular geometric shape, whether or not printed or otherwise surface-worked, uncut or cut into rectangles (including squares) but not further worked (even if when so cut they become articles ready for use).
11. Heading 39.25 applies only to the following articles, not being products covered by any of the earlier headings of sub-Chapter II:

(a) Reservoirs, tanks (including septic tanks), vats and similar containers, of a capacity exceeding 300 1;

(b) Structural elements used, for example, in floors, walls or partitions, ceilings or roofs;

(c) Gutters and fittings therefor;

(d) Doors, windows and their frames and thresholds for doors;

(e) Balconies, balustrades, fencing, gates and similar barriers;

(f) Shutters, blinds (including Venetian blinds) and similar articles and parts and fittings thereof;

(g) Large-scale shelving for assembly and permanent installation, for example, in shops, workshops, warehouses;

(h) Ornamental architectural features, for example, flutings, cupolas, dovecotes; and

(ij) Fittings and mountings intended for permanent installation in or on doors, windows, staircases, walls or other parts of buildings, for example, knobs, handles, hooks, brackets, towel rails, switch-plates and other protective plates.

Subheading Notes.

1. Within any one heading of this Chapter, polymers (including copolymers) and chemically modified polymers are to be classified according to the following provisions:

(a) Where there is a subheading named “other” in the same series:

(1) The designation in a subheading of a polymer by the prefix "poly" (for example, polyethylene and polyamide-6,6) means that the constituent monomer unit or monomer units of the named polymer taken together must contribute 95% or more by weight of the total polymer content.
(2) The copolymers named in subheadings 3901.30, 3901.40, 3903.20,

3903.30 and 3904.30 are to be classified in those subheadings, provided that the comonomer units of the named copolymers contribute 95% or more by weight of the total polymer content.
(3) Chemically modified polymers are to be classified in the subheading named “Other” provided that the chemically modified polymers are not more specifically covered by another subheading.
(4) Polymers not meeting (1), (2) or (3) above, are to be classified in the subheading, among the remaining Subheadings in the series, covering polymers of that monomer unit which predominates by weight over every other single comonomer unit. For this purpose, constituent monomer units of polymers falling in the same subheading shall be taken together. Only the constituent comonomer units of the polymers in the series of subheadings under consideration are to be compared.
(b) Where there is no subheading named “Other” in the same series:
(1) Polymers are to be classified in the subheading covering polymers of that monomer unit which predominates by weight over every other single comonomer unit. For this purpose, constituent monomer units of polymers falling in the same subheading shall be taken together. Only the constituent comonomer units of the polymers in the series under consideration are to be compared.
(2) Chemically modified polymers are to be classified in the subheading appropriate to the unmodified polymer.
Polymer blends are to be classified in the same subheading as polymers of the same monomer units in the same proportions.

2. For the purposes of subheading 3920.43, the term “plasticisers” includes secondary plasticisers.

CHAPTER 40

RUBBER AND ARTICLES THEREOF

Notes.

1. Except where the context otherwise requires, throughout the Nomenclature the expression “rubber” means the following products, whether or not vulcanised or hard: natural rubber, balata, gutta-percha, guayule, chicle and similar natural gums, synthetic rubber, factice derived from oils, and such substances reclaimed.
2. This Chapter does not cover:

(a) Goods of Section XI (textiles and textile articles);

(b) Footwear or parts thereof of Chapter 64;

(c) Headgear or parts thereof (including bathing caps) of Chapter 65;

(d) Mechanical or electrical appliances or parts thereof of Section XVI (including electrical goods of all kinds), of hard rubber;

(e) Articles of Chapters 90, 92, 94 or 96; or

(f) Articles of Chapter 95 (other than sports gloves, mittens and mitts and articles of headings 40.11 to 40.13).

3. In headings 40.01 to 40.03 and 40.05, the expression “primary forms” applies only to the following forms:

(a) Liquids and pastes (including latex, whether or not pre-vulcanised, and other dispersions and solutions);

(b) Blocks of irregular shape, lumps, bales, powders, granules, crumbs and similar bulk forms.

4. In Note 1 to this Chapter and in heading 40.02, the expression “synthetic rubber” applies to:

(a) Unsaturated synthetic substances which can be irreversibly transformed by vulcanisation with sulphur into non-thermoplastic substances which, at a temperature between 180C and 290C, will not break on being extended to three times their original length and will return , after being extended to twice their original length, within a period of five minutes, to a length not greater than one and a half times their original length. For the purposes of

this test, substances necessary for the cross-linking, such as vulcanising
activators or accelerators, may be added; the presence of substances as provided for by Note 5(B)(ii) and (iii) is also permitted. However, the presence of any substances not necessary for the cross-linking, such as extenders, plasticisers and fillers, is not permitted;

(b) Thioplasts (TM); and

(c) Natural rubber modified by grafting or mixing with plastics , depolymerised natural rubber , mixtures of unsaturated synthetic substances with saturated synthetic high polymers provided that all the above-mentioned products comply with the requirements concerning vulcanisation , elongation and recovery in (a) above.

5. (A) Headings 40.01 and 40.02 do not apply to any rubber or mixture of rubbers which has been compounded, before or after coagulation, with:

(i) vulcanising agents, accelerators, retarders or activators (other than those added for the preparation of pre-vulcanised rubber latex);

(ii) pigments or other colouring matter, other than those added solely for the purpose of identification;

(iii) plasticisers or extenders (except mineral oil in the case of oil- extended rubber), fillers, reinforcing agents, organic solvents or any other substances, except those permitted under (B);

(B) The presence of the following substances in any rubber or mixture of rubbers shall not affect its classification in heading 40.01 or 40.02, as the case may be, provided that such rubber or mixture of rubbers retains its essential character as a raw material:

(i) emulsifiers or anti-tack agents;

(ii) small amounts of breakdown products of emulsifiers;

(iii) very small amounts of the following: heat-sensitive agents (generally for obtaining thermosensitive rubber latexes), cationic surface-active agents (generally for obtaining electro-positive rubber latexes), antioxidants, coagulants, crumbling agents, freeze-resisting agents, peptisers, preservatives, stabilisers, viscosity-control agents, or similar special-purpose additives.

6. For the purposes of heading 40.04, the expression “waste, parings and scrap” means rubber waste, parings and scrap from the manufacture or working of rubber and rubber goods definitely not usable as such because of cutting-up, wear or other reasons.
7. Thread wholly of vulcanised rubber, of which any cross-sectional dimension exceeds 5 mm, is to be classified as strip, rods or profile shapes, of heading 40.08.
8. Heading 40.10 includes conveyor or transmission belts or belting of textile fabric impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with rubber or made from textile yarn or cord impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber.
9. In headings 40.01, 40.02, 40.03, 40.05 and 40.08, the expressions “plates”, “sheets” and “strip” apply only to plates, sheets and strip and to blocks of regular geometric shape, uncut or simply cut to rectangular (including square) shape, whether or not having the character of articles and whether or not printed or otherwise surface-worked, but not otherwise cut to shape or further worked.

In heading 40.08 the expressions “rods” and “profile shapes” apply only to such products, whether or not cut to length or surface-worked but not otherwise worked.

Subject to Note 1 to Section XI, textiles, garments and other textile articles, incorporating chemical, mechanical or electronic components for additional functionality, whether incorporated as built-in components or within the fibre or fabric, are classified in their respective headings in Section XI provided that they retain the essential character of the goods of this Section.

Subheading Notes.

1. In this Section and, where applicable, throughout the Nomenclature, the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them:

(a) Unbleached yarn
Yarn which:
(i) has the natural colour of its constituent fibres and has not been bleached, dyed (whether or not in the mass) or printed; or
(ii) is of indeterminate colour (“grey yarn”), manufactured from garnetted stock.

Such yarn may have been treated with a colourless dressing or fugitive dye (which disappears after simple washing with soap) and, in the case of man-made fibres, treated in the mass with delustring agents (for example, titanium dioxide).

(b) Bleached yarn
Yarn which:
(i) has undergone a bleaching process, is made of bleached fibres or, unless the context otherwise requires, has been dyed white (whether or not in the mass) or treated with a white dressing;
(ii) consists of a mixture of unbleached and bleached fibres; or
(iii) is multiple (folded) or cabled and consists of unbleached and bleached yarns.

(c) Coloured (dyed or printed) yarn
Yarn which:
(i) is dyed (whether or not in the mass) other than white or in a fugitive colour, or printed, or made from dyed or printed fibres;
(ii) consists of a mixture of dyed fibres of different colours or of a mixture of unbleached or bleached fibres with coloured fibres (marl or mixture yarns), or is printed in one or more colours at intervals to give the impression of dots;
(iii) is obtained from slivers or rovings which have been printed; or
(iv) is multiple (folded) or cabled and consists of unbleached or bleached yarn and coloured yarn.
The above definitions also apply, mutatis mutandis, to monofilament and to strip or the like of Chapter 54.

(d) Unbleached woven fabric
Woven fabric made from unbleached yarn and which has not been bleached, dyed or printed. Such fabric may have been treated with a colourless dressing or a fugitive dye.

(e) Bleached woven fabric
Woven fabric which:
(i) has been bleached or, unless the context otherwise requires, dyed white or treated with a white dressing, in the piece;
(ii) consists of bleached yarn; or
(iii) consists of unbleached and bleached yarn.

(f) Dyed woven fabric
Woven fabric which:
(i) is dyed a single uniform colour other than white (unless the context otherwise requires) or has been treated with a coloured finish other than white (unless the context otherwise requires), in the piece; or
(ii) consists of coloured yarn of a single uniform colour.

(g) Woven fabric of yarns of different colours
Woven fabric (other than printed woven fabric) which:
(i) consists of yarns of different colours or yarns of different shades of the same colour (other than the natural colour of the constituent fibres);
(ii) consists of unbleached or bleached yarn and coloured yarn; or
(iii) consists of marl or mixture yarns.
(In all cases, the yarn used in selvedges and piece ends is not taken into consideration.)

(h) Printed woven fabric
Woven fabric which has been printed in the piece, whether or not made from yarns of different colours.
(The following are also regarded as printed woven fabrics: woven fabrics bearing designs made, for example, with a brush or spray gun, by means of transfer paper, by flocking or by the batik process.)

The process of mercerisation does not affect the classification of yarns or fabrics within the above categories.

The definitions at (d) to (h) above apply, mutatis mutandis, to knitted or crocheted fabrics.

(i) Plain weave
A fabric construction in which each yarn of the weft passes alternately over and under successive yarns of the warp and each yarn of the warp passes alternately over and under successive yarns of the weft.

2. (A) Products of Chapters 56 to 63 containing two or more textile materials are to be regarded as consisting wholly of that textile material which would be selected under Note 2 to this Section for the classification of a product of Chapters 50 to 55 or of heading 58.09 consisting of the same textile materials.
   (B) For the application of this rule:

(a) where appropriate, only the part which determines the classification under Interpretative Rule 3 shall be taken into account;

(b) in the case of textile products consisting of a ground fabric and a pile or looped surface no account shall be taken of the ground fabric;

(c) in the case of embroidery of heading 58.10 and goods thereof, only the ground fabric shall be taken into account. However, embroidery without visible ground, and goods thereof, shall be classified with reference to the embroidering threads alone.

CHAPTER 54

MAN-MADE FILAMENTS; STRIP AND THE LIKE OF MAN-MADE TEXTILE MATERIALS

Notes.

1. Throughout the Nomenclature, the term “man-made fibres” means staple fibres and filaments of organic polymers produced by manufacturing processes, either:

(a) By polymerisation of organic monomers to produce polymers such as polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins or polyurethanes, or by chemical modification or polymers produced by this process (for example, poly(vinyl alcohol) prepared by the hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate)); or

(b) By dissolution or chemical treatment of natural organic polymers (for example, cellulose) to produce polymers such as cuprammonium rayon (cupro) or viscose rayon, or by chemical modification or natural organic polymers (for example, cellulose, casein and other proteins, or alginic acid), to produce polymers such as cellulose acetate or algmates.

The terms “synthetic” and “artificial”, used in relation to fibres, mean: synthetic: fibres as defined at (a); artificial: fibres as defined at (b). Strip and the like of headings 54.04 or 54.05 are not considered to be man-made fibres.

The terms “man-made”, “synthetic” and “artificial” shall have the same meanings when used in relation to “textile materials”.

2. Headings 54.02 and 54.03 do not apply to synthetic or artificial filament tow of Chapter 55.

CHAPTER 56

WADDING, FELT AND NONWOVENS; SPECIAL YARNS; TWINE, CORDAGE, ROPES AND CABLES AND ARTICLES THEREOF

Notes.

1. This Chapter does not cover:

(a) Wadding, felt or nonwovens, impregnated, coated or covered with substances or preparations (for example, perfumes or cosmetics of Chapter 33, soaps or detergents of heading 34.01, polishes, creams or similar preparations of heading 34.05, fabric softeners of heading 38.09) where the textile material is present merely as a carrying medium;

(b) Textile products of heading 58.11;

(c) Natural or artificial abrasive powder or grain, on a backing of felt or nonwovens (heading 68.05);

(d) Agglomerated or reconstituted mica, on a backing of felt or nonwovens (heading 68.14);

(e) Metal foil on a backing of felt or nonwovens (generally Section XIV or XV); or

(f) Sanitary towels (pads) and tampons, napkins (diapers) and napkin liners and similar articles of heading 96.19.

2. The term “felt” includes needleloom felt and fabrics consisting of a web of textile fibres the cohesion of which has been enhanced by a stitch-bonding process using fibres from the web itself.
3. Headings 56.02 and 56.03 cover respectively felt and nonwovens, impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber whatever the nature of these materials (compact or cellular).

Heading 56.03 also includes nonwovens in which plastics or rubber forms the bonding substance.

Headings 56.02 and 56.03 do not, however, cover:

(a) Felt impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber, containing 50% or less by weight of textile material or felt completely embedded in plastics or rubber (Chapter 39 or 40);

(b) Nonwovens, either completely embedded in plastics or rubber, or entirely coated or covered on both sides with such materials, provided that such coating or covering can be seen with the naked eye with no account being taken of any resulting change of colour (Chapter 39 or 40); or

(c) Plates, sheets or strip of cellular plastics or cellular rubber combined with felt or nonwovens, where the textile material is present merely for reinforcing purposes (Chapter 39 or 40).

4. Heading 56.04 does not cover textile yarn, or strip or the like of heading 54.04 or 54.05, in which the impregnation, coating or covering cannot be seen with the naked eye (usually Chapters 50 to 55); for the purpose of this provision, no account should be taken of any resulting change of colour.

CHAPTER 61

ARTICLES OF APPAREL AND CLOTHING ACCESSORIES, KNITTED OR CROCHETED

Notes.

1. This Chapter applies only to made up knitted or crocheted articles.
2. This Chapter does not cover:

(a) Goods of heading 62.12;

(b) Worn clothing or other worn articles of heading 63.09; or

(c) Orthopaedic appliances, surgical belts, trusses or the like (heading 90.21).

3. For the purposes of headings 61.03 and 61.04:

(a) The term “suit” means a set of garments composed of two or three pieces made up, in respect of their outer surface, in identical fabric and comprising:

 one suit coat or jacket the outer shell of which, exclusive of sleeves, consists of four or more panels, designed to cover the upper part of the body, possibly with a tailored waistcoat in addition whose front is made from the same fabric as the outer surface of the other components of the set and whose back is made from the same fabric as the lining of the suit coat or jacket; and

 one garment designed to cover the lower part of the body and consisting of trousers, breeches or shorts (other than swimwear), a skirt or a divided skirt, having neither braces nor bibs.

All of the components of a “suit” must be of the same fabric construction, colour and composition; they must also be of the same style and of corresponding or compatible size. However, these components may have piping (a strip of fabric sewn into the seam) in a different fabric.

If several separate components to cover the lower part of the body are presented together (for example, two pairs of trousers or trousers and shorts, or a skirt or divided skirt and trousers), the constituent lower part shall be one pair of trousers or, in the case of women’s or girls’ suits, the skirt or divided skirt, the other garments being considered separately.
The term “suit” includes the following sets of garments, whether or not they fulfil all the above conditions:

 morning dress, comprising a plain jacket (cutaway) with rounded tails hanging well down at the back and striped trousers;

 evening dress (tailcoat), generally made of black fabric, the jacket of which is relatively short at the front, does not close and has narrow skirts cut in at the hips and hanging down behind;

 dinner jacket suits, in which the jacket is similar in style to an ordinary jacket (though perhaps revealing more of the shirt front), but has shiny silk or imitation silk lapels.

(b) The term “ensemble” means a set of garments (other than suits and articles of heading 6l.07, 61.08 or 61.09), composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale, and comprising:

 one garment designed to cover the upper part of the body, with the exception of pullovers which may form a second upper garment in the sole context of twin sets, and of waistcoats which may also form a second upper garment, and

 one or two different garments, designed to cover the lower part of the body and consisting of trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, shorts (other than swimwear), a skirt or a divided skirt.

All of the components of an ensemble must be of the same fabric construction, style, colour and composition; they also must be of corresponding or compatible size. The term “ensemble” does not apply to track suits or ski suits, of heading 61.12.

4. Headings 61.05 and 61.06 do not cover garments with pockets below the waist, with a ribbed waistband or other means of tightening at the bottom of the garment, or garments having an average of less than 10 stitches per linear centimetre in each direction counted on an area measuring at least 10 cm x 10 cm. Heading 61.05 does not cover sleeveless garments.

“Shirts” and “shirt-blouses” are garments designed to cover the upper part of the body, having long or short sleeves and a full or partial opening starting at the neckline. “Blouses” are loose-fitting garments also designed to cover the upper part of the body but may be sleeveless and with or without an opening at the neckline. “Shirts”, “shirt-blouses” and “blouses” may also have a collar.

5. Heading 61.09 does not cover garments with a drawstring, ribbed waistband or other means of tightening at the bottom of the garment.
6. For the purposes of heading 61.11:

(a) The expression “babies’ garments and clothing accessories” means articles for young children of a body height not exceeding 86 cm;

(b) Articles which are, prima facie, classifiable both in heading 61.11 and in other headings of this Chapter are to be classified in heading 61.11.

7. For the purposes of heading 61.12, “ski suits” means garments or sets of garments which, by their general appearance and texture, are identifiable as intended to be worn principally for skiing (cross-country or alpine). They consist either of:

(a) a “ski overall”, that is, a one-piece garment designed to cover the upper and the lower parts of the body; in addition to sleeves and a collar the ski overall may have pockets or footstraps; or

(b) a “ski ensemble”, that is, a set of garments composed of two or three pieces, put up for retail sale and comprising:

 one garment such as an anorak, wind-cheater, wind-jacket or similar article, closed by a slide fastener (zipper), possibly with a waistcoat in addition, and

 one pair of trousers whether or not extending above waist-level, one pair of breeches or one bib and brace overall.

The “ski ensemble” may also consist of an overall similar to the one mentioned in paragraph (a) above and a type of padded, sleeveless jacket worn over the overall.

All the components of a “ski ensemble” must be made up in a fabric of the same texture, style and composition whether or not of the same colour; they also must be of corresponding or compatible size.

8. Garments which are, prima facie, classifiable both in heading 61.13 and in other headings of this Chapter, excluding heading 61.11, are to be classified in heading 61.13.
9. Garments of this Chapter designed for left over right closure at the front shall be regarded as men’s or boys’ garments, and those designed for right over left closure at the front as women’s or girls’ garments. These provisions do not apply where the cut of the garment clearly indicates that it is designed for one or other of the sexes.

Garments which cannot be identified as either men’s or boys’ garments or as women’s or girls’ garments are to be classified in the headings covering women’s or girls’ garments.

10. Articles of this Chapter may be made of metal thread.

CHAPTER 62

ARTICLES OF APPAREL AND CLOTHING ACCESSORIES, NOT KNITTED OR CROCHETED

Notes.

1. This Chapter applies only to made up articles of any textile fabric other than wadding, excluding knitted or crocheted articles (other than those of heading 62.12).
2. This Chapter does not cover:

(a) Worn clothing or other worn articles of heading 63.09; or

(b) Orthopaedic appliances, surgical belts, trusses or the like (heading 90.21).

3. For the purposes of headings 62.03 and 62.04:

(a) The term “suit” means a set of garments composed of two or three pieces made up, in respect of their outer surface, in identical fabric and comprising:

 one suit coat or jacket the outer shell of which, exclusive of sleeves, consists of four or more panels, designed to cover the upper part of the body, possibly with a tailored waistcoat in addition whose front is made from the same fabric as the outer surface of the other components of the set and whose back is made from the same fabric as the lining of the suit coat or jacket; and

 one garment designed to cover the lower part of the body and consisting of trousers, breeches or shorts (other than swimwear), a skirt or a divided skirt, having neither braces nor bibs.

All of the components of a “suit” must be of the same fabric construction, colour and composition; they must also be of the same style and of corresponding or compatible size. However, these components may have piping (a strip of fabric sewn into the seam) in a different fabric.

If several separate components to cover the lower part of the body are presented together (for example, two pairs of trousers or trousers and shorts, or a skirt or divided skirt and trousers), the constituent lower part shall be one pair of trousers or, in the case of women’s or girls’ suits, the skirt or divided skirt, the other garments being considered separately.

The term “suit” includes the following sets of garments, whether or not they fulfil all the above conditions:

 morning dress, comprising a plain jacket (cutaway) with rounded tails hanging well down at the back and striped trousers;

 evening dress (tailcoat), generally made of black fabric, the jacket of which is relatively short at the front, does not close and has narrow skirts cut in at the hips and hanging down behind;

 dinner jacket suits, in which the jacket is similar in style to an ordinary jacket (though perhaps revealing more of the shirt front), but has shiny silk or imitation silk lapels.

(b) The term “ensemble” means a set of garments (other than suits and articles of heading 62.07 or 62.08) composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale, and comprising:

 one garment designed to cover the upper part of the body, with the exception of waistcoats which may also form a second upper garment, and

 one or two different garments, designed to cover the lower part of the body and consisting of trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, shorts (other than swimwear), a skirt or a divided skirt.

All of the components of an ensemble must be of the same fabric construction, style, colour and composition; they also must be of corresponding or compatible size. The term “ensemble” does not apply to track suits or ski suits, of heading 62.11.

4. Headings 62.05 and 62.06 do not cover garments with pockets below the waist, with a ribbed waistband or other means of tightening at the bottom of the garment. Heading 62.05 does not cover sleeveless garments.

“Shirts” and “shirt-blouses” are garments designed to cover the upper part of the body, having long or short sleeves and a full or partial opening starting at the neckline. “Blouses” are loose-fitting garments also designed to cover the upper part of the body but may be sleeveless and with or without an opening at the neckline. “Shirts”, “shirt-blouses” and “blouses” may also have a collar.

5. For the purposes of heading 62.09:

(a) The expression “babies’ garments and clothing accessories” means articles for young children of a body height not exceeding 86 cm;

(b) Articles which are, prima facie, classifiable both in heading 62.09 and in other headings of this Chapter are to be classified in heading 62.09.

6. Garments which are, prima facie, classifiable both in heading 62.10 and in other headings of this Chapter, excluding heading 62.09, are to be classified in heading 62.10.
7. For the purposes of heading 62.11, “ski suits” means garments or sets of garments which, by their general appearance and texture, are identifiable as intended to be worn principally for skiing (cross-country or alpine). They consist either of:

(a) a “ski overall”, that is, a one-piece garment designed to cover the upper and the lower parts of the body; in addition to sleeves and a collar the ski overall may have pockets or footstraps; or

(b) a “ski ensemble”, that is, a set of garments composed of two or three pieces, put up for retail sale and comprising:

 one garment such as an anorak, wind-cheater, wind-jacket or similar article, closed by a slide fastener (zipper), possibly with a waistcoat in addition, and

 one pair of trousers whether or not extending above waist-level, one pair of breeches or one bib and brace overall.

The “ski ensemble” may also consist of an overall similar to the one mentioned in paragraph (a) above and a type of padded, sleeveless jacket worn over the overall. All the components of a “ski ensemble” must be made up in a fabric of the same texture, style and composition whether or not of the same colour; they also must be of corresponding or compatible size.

8. Scarves and articles of the scarf type, square or approximately square, of which no side exceeds 60 cm, are to be classified as handkerchiefs (heading 62.13). Handkerchiefs of which any side exceeds 60 cm are to be classified in heading 62.14.
9. Garments of this Chapter designed for left over right closure at the front shall be regarded as men’s or boys’ garments, and those designed for right over left closure at the front as women’s or girls’ garments. These provisions do not apply where the cut of the garment clearly indicates that it is designed for one or other of the sexes.

Garments which cannot be identified as either men’s or boys’ garments or as women’s or girls’ garments are to be classified in the headings covering women’s or girls’ garments.

10. Articles of this Chapter may be made of metal thread.
