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 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.

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;

products of heading 30.02;
(f) Urea
(heading 31.02 or 31.05);
(g) The products mentioned in (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) above with an added a
nti-dusting agent or a colouring or odoriferous substance or an emetic added to facilitate their identification or for safety reasons, provided that t
he additions do not render the product particularly suitable for specific use rather than for general use;
(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 cm (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, “oxygen function”, the characteristic organic oxygen-containing group of thos
e 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 I to
VII with organic compounds of these sub-Chapters are to be classified
with that compound which is classified in the heading which occurs last
in numerical order in these sub-Chapters.
(B)
