The headings do not apply, however, to pigments dispersed in non-aqueous media, in liquid or paste form, of a kind used in the manufacture of paints, including enamels (heading 3212), or to other preparations of headings 3207, 3208, 3209, 3210, 3212, 3213 or 3215.

4. Heading 3208 includes solutions (other than collodions) consisting of any of the products specified in headings 3901 to 3913 in volatile organic solvents when the weight of the solvent exceeds 50 % of the weight of the solution.

5. The expression ‘colouring matter’ in this chapter does not include products of a kind used as extenders in oil paints, whether or not they are also suitable for colouring distempers.

6. The expression ‘stamping foils’ in heading 3212 applies only to thin sheets of a kind used for printing, for example, book covers or hat bands, and consisting of:

CHAPTER 37 PHOTOGRAPHIC OR CINEMATOGRAPHIC GOODS

Notes

1. This chapter does not cover waste or scrap.

2. In this chapter, the word ‘photographic’ relates to the process by which visible images are formed, directly or indirectly, by the action of light or other forms of radiation on photosensitive surfaces.

1. In the case of sound films imported in two bands (the band bearing only the images and the band used for recording the sound), each band is to be classified in its appropriate heading.

2. The expression ‘newsreels’ (subheading 3706 90 52) is to be taken to apply to films of length of less than 330 m, and depicting current events of a political, sporting, military, scientific, literary, folkloric, touristic, society, etc., nature.

CHAPTER 38 MISCELLANEOUS CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

Notes

1. This chapter does not cover:

(a)

separate chemically defined elements or compounds with the exception of the following:

(1)

artificial graphite (heading 3801);

(2)

insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, anti-sprouting products and plant-growth regulators, disinfectants and similar products, put up as described in heading 3808;

(3)

products put up as charges for fire-extinguishers or put up in fire-extinguishing grenades (heading 3813);

(4)

certified reference materials specified in note 2 below;

(5)

products specified in note 3(a) or 3(c) below;

(b)

(d)

medicaments (heading 3003 or 3004); or

(e)

spent catalysts of a kind used for the extraction of base metals or for the manufacture of chemical compounds of base metals (heading 2620), spent catalysts of a kind used principally for the recovery of precious metal (heading 7112) or catalysts consisting of metals or metal alloys in the form of, for example, finely divided powder or woven gauze (Section XIV or XV).

2.

(A)

For the purpose of heading 3822, the expression ‘certified reference materials’ means reference materials which are accompanied by a certificate which indicates the values of the certified properties, the methods used to determine these values and the degree of certainty associated with each value and which are suitable for analytical, calibrating or referencing purposes.

(B)

With the exception of the products of Chapter 28 or 29, for the classification of certified reference materials, heading 3822 shall take precedence over any other heading in the nomenclature.

3. Heading 3824 includes the following goods which are not to be classified in any other heading of the nomenclature:

(a)

cultured crystals (other than optical elements) weighing not less than 2,5 g each, of magnesium oxide or of the halides of the alkali or alkaline-earth metals;

(b)

fusel oil; Dippel's oil;

(c)

ink removers put up in packings for retail sale;

(d)

stencil correctors, other correcting fluids and correction tapes (other than those of heading 9612), put up in packings for retail sale; and

(e)

ceramic firing testers, fusible (for example, Seger cones).

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, such as wastes of plastics, rubber, wood, paper, textiles, glass or metals and spent batteries which fall in their appropriate headings of the nomenclature;

(b)

industrial waste;

(c)

waste pharmaceuticals, as defined in note 4(k) to Chapter 30; or

(d)

clinical waste, as defined in note 6(a) below.

5. For the purposes of heading 3825, ‘sewage sludge’ means sludge arising from urban effluent treatment plant and includes pre-treatment waste, scourings and unstabilised sludge. Stabilised sludge when suitable for use as fertiliser is excluded (Chapter 31).

6. For the purposes of heading 3825, the expression ‘other wastes’ applies to:

(a)

clinical waste, that is, contaminated waste arising from medical research, diagnosis, treatment or other medical, surgical, dental or veterinary procedures, which often contain pathogens and pharmaceutical substances and require special disposal procedures (for example, soiled dressings, used gloves and used syringes);

(b)

waste organic solvents;

(c)

wastes of metal pickling liquors, hydraulic fluids, brake fluids and anti-freezing fluids; and

(d)

other wastes from chemical or allied industries.

The expression ‘other wastes’ does not, however, cover wastes which contain mainly petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals (heading 2710).

7. For the purposes of heading 3826, the term ‘biodiesel’ means mono-alkyl esters of fatty acids of a kind used as a fuel, derived from animal or vegetable fats and oils whether or not used.
