Organic
Chemicals
Notes:
1. Except where the context otherwise requires, the headings of this
Chapter apply only to:
(a) Separate chemically defined organic compounds, whether or not
containing impurities;
(b) Mixtures of two or more isomers of the same organic compound(whether
or not containing impurities), except mixtures of acyclic hydrocarbon
isomers (other than stereoisomers), whether or not saturated (Chapter
27);
(c) The products of headings 2936 to 2939 or the sugar ethers sugar
acetals and sugar esters, and their salts, of heading 2940, or the products
of heading 2941, whether or not chemically defined;
(d) The products mentioned in (a),(b) or (c) above dissolved in water;
(e) The products mentioned in (a),(b) or (c) above dissolved in other
solvents provided that the solution constitutes a normal and necessary
method of putting up these products adopted solely for reasons of safety
or for transport and that the solvent does not render the product particularly
suitable for 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 dye: diazonium salts, couplers used for these salts
and diazotisable amines and their salts.
2.This Chapter does not cover:
(a) Goods of heading 1504 or crude glycerol of heading 1520;
(b) Ethyl alcohol (heading 2207 or 2208);
(c) Methane or propane (heading 2711);
(d) The compounds of carbon mentioned in Note 2 to Chapter 28;
(e) Urea (heading 3102 or 3105);
(f) Colouring matter of vegetable or animal origin (heading 3203),
synthetic organic colouring matter, synthetic organic products of a
kind used as fluorescent brightening agents or as luminophores (heading
3204) or dyes or other colouring matter put up in forms or packings
for retail sale (heading 3212);
(g) Enzymes (heading 3507);
h) 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 filing or refilling cigarette or similar lighters and of a capacity
not exceeding 300 cm3 (heading 3606);
(ij) Products put up as charges for fire-extinguishers or put up in
fire-extinguishing grenades, of heading 3813;ink removers put up in
packing for retail sale, of heading 3824; or
(k) Optical elements, for example, of ethylenediamine tartrate (heading
9001).
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 2904 to 2906, 2908 to 2911 and 2913 to 2920, any reference
to halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives includes
a reference to compound derivatives, such as sulphohalogenated, nitrohalogenated,
nitrosulphonated or nitrosulphohalogenated derivatives.
Nitro or nitroso groups are not to be taken as “nitrogen-functions”
for the purposes of heading 2929.
For the purposes of headings 2911,2912,2914,2918 and 2922, “oxygen-functions”
is to be restricted to the functions (the characteristic organic oxygen-containing
groups) referred to in headings2905 to 2920.
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) Esters of ethyl alcohol with acid-function organic compounds of
sub-chapters I to VII are to be classified in the same heading as the
corresponding acid-function compounds.
(c) Subject to Note 1 to Section VI and Note 2 to Chapter 28:
[A] Inorganic salts of organic compounds such as acid-, phenol-
or enol- function compounds or organic bases, of sub-Chapters I to
X or heading 2942, are to be classified in the heading appropriate
to the organic compound; and
[B] Salts formed between organic compounds of sub-Chapters I to
X or heading 2942 are to be classified in the heading appropriate
to the base or to the acid (including phenol- or enol- function compounds)
from which they are formed, whichever occurs last in numerical order
in the Chapter.
(d) Metal alcoholates are to be classified in the same heading as the
corresponding alcohols except in the case of ethanol (heading 2905)
(e) Halides of carboxylic acids are to be classified in the same heading
as the corresponding acids.
6. The compounds of headings 2930 and 2931 are organic compounds the
molecules of which contain, in addition to atoms of hydrogen, oxygen or
nitrogen, atoms of other non-metals or of metals (such as sulphur, arsenic,
mercury or lead) directly linked to carbon atoms.
Heading 2930 (organo-sulphur compounds) and heading 2931 (other organo-inorganic
compounds) do not include sulphonated or halogenated derivatives (including
compound derivatives) which, apart from hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen,
only have directly linked to carbon the atoms of sulphur or of a halogen
which give them their nature of sulphonated or halogenated derivatives
(or compound derivatives).
7. Headings 2932, 2933 and 2934 do not include epoxides with a three-membered
ring, ketone peroxides, cyclic polymers of aldehydes or of thioaldehydes
anhydrides of polybasic carboxylic acids, cyclic esters of polyhydric
alcohols or phenols with polybasic acids or imides of polybasic acids.
These provisions apply only when the ring-position hetero-atoms are those
resulting solely from the cyclising function or functions here listed.
8. For the purpose of heading 2937:
a) the term “hormones” includes hormone-releasing or hormone-simulating
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.
SUB-HEADING NOTE:
Within any one heading of this Chapter, derivatives of a chemical compound
(or group of chemical compounds) are to be classified in the same sub-heading
as that compound (or group of compounds) provided that they are not more
specially covered by any other sub-heading and that there is no residual
sub-heading named "Other" in the series of sub-headings concerned.
