INTRODUCTION
The text of the Nomenclature established under the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and
st
Coding System, approved by the Customs Co-operation Council on June 1983, amended as at 1 January 2007.
The Handbook includes the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System, abbreviations and symbols,
Section, Chapter and Subheading Notes, and the headings and subheadings.
Each heading is identified by four digits, the first two indicating the Chapter number and the second two the numerical order
in which the heading appears within the Chapter.
The heading numbers are shown in the first column. The second column contains the eight-digit codes of the Harmonized
System as transposed at the EAC level. The third column contains the text of the headings in bold and the texts of
subheadings. The fourth column contains units of quantity for use when reporting statistics based on the Harmonized
System. The fifth columns contain applicable Common External Tariff rates.
The Handbook comprises Schedule 1 with duty rates under the three-band tax structure and Schedule 2 with duty rates of
sensitive items.
The fifth column of Schedule 1 contains applicable Common External Tariff rates and where the abbreviation “SI” (Sensitive
Items) appears the applicable duty rates shall be those specified in Schedule 2.
1. The titles of Sections, Chapters and sub-Chapters 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 :
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.
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 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.
11
(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.
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.
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 suitable for repetitive use.
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.

Section 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;
(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 incidental to the primary use of the goods, fall in Chapter 49.
____________________
Chapter 39
Chapter 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.
160
(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, lamps 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).
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 300°C, 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);
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.
161
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 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 l;
(b) Structural elements used, for example, in floors, walls or partitions, ceilings or roofs;
(d) Doors, windows and their frames and thresholds for doors;
(f) Shutters, blinds (including Venetian blinds) and similar articles and 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 :
(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, 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.
(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.
162
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.

or printed; or
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).
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;
(iii) is multiple (folded) or cabled and consists of unbleached and bleached yarns
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;
217
(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;
(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.
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.
(i) has been bleached or, unless the context otherwise requires, dyed white or treated with a white
dressing, in the piece;
(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
(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);
(In all cases, the yarn used in selvedges and piece ends is not taken into consideration.)
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.
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

Chapter 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 of 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 of natural organic polymers
(for example, cellulose, casein and other proteins, or alginic acid), to produce polymers such as cellulose acetate
or alginates.
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 heading 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".

Alloy steels containing by weight at least 0.6% but not more than 6% of silicon and not more than 0.08% of carbon.
They may also contain by weight not more than 1% of aluminium but no other element in a proportion that would
give the steel the characteristics of another alloy steel.
Alloy steels containing, with or without other elements, at least two of the three elements molybdenum, tungsten and
vanadium with a combined content by weight of 7% or more, 0.6% or more of carbon and 3 to 6% of chromium.
- 0.6% or more but not more than 2.3% of silicon, but no other element in a proportion that would give the steel the
characteristics of another alloy steel.
2.- For the classification of ferro-alloys in the subheadings of heading 72.02 the following rule should be observed :
A ferro-alloy is considered as binary and classified under the relevant subheading (if it exists) if only one of the alloy
elements exceeds the minimum percentage laid down in Chapter Note 1 (c); by analogy, it is considered respectively as
ternary or quaternary if two or three alloy elements exceed the minimum percentage.
For the application of this rule the unspecified "other elements" referred to in Chapter Note 1 (c) must each exceed
10% by weight.

1.- In this Chapter the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them :
Metal containing at least 97.5% by weight of copper, provided that the content by weight of any other element does
not exceed the limit specified in the following table :
Ag Silver 0.25
As Arsenic 0.5
Cd Cadmium 1.3
Cr Chromium 1.4
Mg Magnesium 0.8
Pb Lead 1.5
S Sulphur 0.7
Sn Tin 0.8
Te Tellurium 0.8
Zn Zinc 1
Zr Zirconium 0.3
Other elements*, each 0.3
* Other elements are, for example, Al, Be, Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Si.
Metallic substances other than unrefined copper in which copper predominates by weight over each of the other
elements, provided that :
(i) the content by weight of at least one of the other elements is greater than the limit specified in the foregoing
table; or
(ii) the total content by weight of such other elements exceeds 2.5%.
Alloys containing with other elements more than 10% by weight of copper, not usefully malleable and commonly
used as an additive in the manufacture of other alloys or as de-oxidants, de-sulphurising agents or for similar uses in
the metallurgy of non- ferrous metals. However, copper phosphide (phosphor copper) containing more than 15% by
weight of phosphorus falls in heading 28.48.
Rolled, extruded, drawn or forged products, not in coils, which have a uniform solid cross-section along their whole
length in the shape of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons
(including "flattened circles" and "modified rectangles", of which two opposite sides are convex arcs, the other two
sides being straight, of equal length and parallel). Products with a rectangular (including square), triangular or
polygonal cross-section may have corners rounded along their whole length. The thickness of such products which
have a rectangular (including "modified rectangular") cross-section exceeds one-tenth of the width. The expression
also covers cast or sintered products, of the same forms and dimensions, which have been subsequently worked
after production (otherwise than by simple trimming or de-scaling), provided that they have not thereby assumed the
character of articles or products of other headings.
Wire-bars and billets with their ends tapered or otherwise worked simply to facilitate their entry into machines for
converting them into, for example, drawing stock (wire-rod) or tubes, are however to be taken to be unwrought
copper of heading 74.03.
331
(e) Profiles
Rolled, extruded, drawn, forged or formed products, coiled or not, of a uniform cross-section along their whole
length, which do not conform to any of the definitions of bars, rods, wire, plates, sheets, strip, foil, tubes or pipes.
The expression also covers cast or sintered products, of the same forms, which have been subsequently worked

(f) Wire
Rolled, extruded or drawn products, in coils, which have a uniform solid cross-section along their whole length in the
shape of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons (including
"flattened circles" and "modified rectangles", of which two opposite sides are convex arcs, the other two sides being
straight, of equal length and parallel). Products with a rectangular (including square), triangular or polygonal cross-
section may have corners rounded along their whole length. The thickness of such products which have a
rectangular (including "modified rectangular") cross-section exceeds one-tenth of the width.
Flat-surfaced products (other than the unwrought products of heading 74.03), coiled or not, of solid rectangular
(other than square) cross-section with or without rounded corners (including "modified rectangles" of which two
opposite sides are convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equal length and parallel) of a uniform
thickness, which are :
- of rectangular (including square) shape with a thickness not exceeding one-tenth of the width,
- of a shape other than rectangular or square, of any size, provided that they do not assume the character of
articles or products of other headings.
Headings 74.09 and 74.10 apply, inter alia, to plates, sheets, strip and foil with patterns (for example, grooves, ribs,
chequers, tears, buttons, lozenges) and to such products which have been perforated, corrugated, polished or
coated, provided that they do not thereby assume the character of articles or products of other headings.
Hollow products, coiled or not, which have a uniform cross-section with only one enclosed void along their whole
length in the shape of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons,
and which have a uniform wall thickness. Products with a rectangular (including square), equilateral triangular or
regular convex polygonal cross-section, which may have corners rounded along their whole length, are also to be
taken to be tubes and pipes provided the inner and outer cross-sections are concentric and have the same form and
orientation. Tubes and pipes of the foregoing cross-sections may be polished, coated, bent, threaded, drilled,
waisted, expanded, cone-shaped or fitted with flanges, collars or rings.
