 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 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.
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 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
A
 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 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.

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 or storage tank washings, or from the use of cutting oils for
machining operations.

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 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 subheading 2710.12, “light oils and preparations” are those of which
90 % or more by volume (including losses) distil at 210 °C according to the
ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 86 method).

doses or for retail sale are to be classified in those headings and in no other heading of the
Nomenclature.
3.- 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.
4.- Where a product answers to a description in one or more of the headings in Section VI by
virtue of being described by name or function and also to heading 38.27, then it is
classifiable in a heading that references the product by name or function and not under

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.
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);

120
 (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
3
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 purpose 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 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 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 :
(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
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.

121
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.

 Section VII
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);
187
 (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 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 300 °C, after
conversion to 1,013 milibars 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);
(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.

188
 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 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;
(c) Gutters and fittings thereof;
(d) Doors, windows and their frames and thresholds for doors;

189
 (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.

190
2.- For the purposes of subheading 3920.43, the term “plasticisers” includes secondary
plasticisers.

(a) Unsaturated synthetic substances which can be irreversibly transformed by
vulcanisation with sulphur into non-thermoplastic substances which, at a
temperature between 18 °C and 29 °C, 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
201
 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 electropositive 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.

202
 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.

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;

252
 (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.)

253
 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.
(ij) 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 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”.
2.- Headings54.02 and 54.03 do not apply to synthetic or artificial filament tow of Chapter 55.

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 61.07, 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

294
 - 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

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.

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.
301
 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.

2.- For the purposes of headings 70.03, 70.04 and 70.05 :
(a) glass is not regarded as “worked” by reason of any process it has undergone before
annealing;
(b) cutting to shape does not affect the classification of glass in sheets;
(c) the expression “absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer” means a microscopically
thin coating of metal or of a chemical compound (for example, metal oxide) which
absorbs, for example, infra-red light or improves the reflecting qualities of the glass
while still allowing it to retain a degree of transparency or translucency; or which
prevents light from being reflected on the surface of the glass.
3.- The products referred to in heading 70.06 remain classified in that heading whether or not
they have the character of articles.
4.- For the purposes of heading 70.19, the expression “glass wool” means :
(a) Mineral wools with a silica (SiO2) content not less than 60 % by weight;
(b) Mineral wools with a silica (SiO2) content less than 60 % but with an alkaline oxide
(K2O or Na2O) content exceeding 5 % by weight or a boric oxide (B2O3) content
exceeding 2 % by weight.
Mineral wools which do not comply with the above specifications fall in heading 68.06.
5.- Throughout the Nomenclature, the expression “glass” includes fused quartz and other
fused silica.
Subheading Note.
1.- For the purposes of subheadings 7013.22, 7013.33, 7013.41 and 7013.91, the expression

(columbium), rhenium and thallium.
4.- Throughout the Nomenclature, the term “cermets” means products containing a
microscopic heterogeneous combination of a metallic component and a ceramic
component. The term “cermets” includes sintered metal carbides (metal carbides sintered
with a metal).
5.- Classification of alloys (other than ferro-alloys and master alloys as defined in Chapters 72
and 74) :
(a) An alloy of base metals is to be classified as an alloy of the metal which
predominates by weight over each of the other metals;
(b) An alloy composed of base metals of this Section and of elements not falling within
this Section is to be treated as an alloy of base metals of this Section if the total
weight of such metals equals or exceeds the total weight of the other elements
present;
(c) In this Section the term “alloys” includes sintered mixtures of metal powders,
heterogeneous intimate mixtures obtained by melting (other than cermets) and
intermetallic compounds.

alloys of that metal.
7.- Classification of composite articles :
Except where the headings otherwise require, articles of base metal (including articles of
mixed materials treated as articles of base metal under the General Interpretative Rules)
containing two or more base metals are to be treated as articles of the base metal
predominating by weight over each of the other metals.
For this purpose :
(a) Iron and steel, or different kinds of iron or steel, are regarded as one and the same
metal;
(b) An alloy is regarded as being entirely composed of that metal as an alloy of which,
by virtue of Note 5, it is classified; and
(c) A cermet of heading 81.13 is regarded as a single base metal.
8.- In this Section, the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them :

9.- For the purposes of Chapters 74 to 76 and 78 to 81, the following expressions have the
meanings hereby assigned to them :
(a) Bars and rods
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 of Chapter 74 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. This provision applies mutatis mutandis to the products of Chapter 81.
(b) 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
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.
(c) 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.
(d) Plates, sheets, strip and foil
Flat-surfaced products (other than the unwrought products), 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.

346
 Headings for plates, sheets, strip, and foil 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.
(e) Tubes and pipes
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 considered as 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.

and parallel). These products may have indentations, ribs, grooves or other
deformations produced during the rolling process (reinforcing bars and rods).
(m) Other bars and rods
Products which do not conform to any of the definitions at (ij), (k) or (l) above or to the
definition of wire, which have a uniform solid cross-section along their whole length in

external dimension of the cross-section exceeds 15 mm but does not exceed 52 mm,
and of which the greatest internal dimension does not exceed one half of the greatest
external dimension. Hollow bars and rods of iron or steel not conforming to this
definition are to be classified in heading 73.04.
2.- Ferrous metals clad with another ferrous metal are to be classified as products of the
ferrous metal predominating by weight.
3.- Iron or steel products obtained by electrolytic deposition, by pressure casting or by
sintering are to be classified, according to their form, their composition and their
appearance, in the headings of this Chapter appropriate to similar hot-rolled products.
Subheading Notes.

proportions :
- more than 0.2 % of chromium
- more than 0.3 % of copper
- more than 0.3 % of nickel
- more than 0.1 % of any of the following elements : aluminium, molybdenum,
titanium, tungsten (wolfram), vanadium.
(b) Non-alloy free-cutting steel

- more than 0.05 % of bismuth.
(c) Silicon-electrical steel
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 %

350
 of aluminium but no other element in a proportion that would give the steel the
characteristics of another alloy steel.
(d) High speed 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.
(e) Silico-manganese steel
Alloy steels containing by weight :
- not more than 0.7 % of carbon,
- 0.5 % or more but not more than 1.9 % of manganese, and
- 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.

incorporate additional elements, including those necessary for receiving video signals and
the allocation of those signals to pixels on the display. However, heading 85.24 does not
include display modules which are equipped with components for converting video signals
(e.g., a scaler IC, decoder IC or application processer) or have otherwise assumed the
character of goods of other headings.
For the classification of flat panel display modules defined in this Note, heading 85.24 shall
take precedence over any other heading in the Nomenclature.
8.- For the purposes of heading 85.34 “printed circuits” are circuits obtained by forming on an
insulating base, by any printing process (for example, embossing, plating-up, etching) or
by the “film circuit” technique, conductor elements, contacts or other printed components
(for example, inductances, resistors, capacitors) alone or interconnected according to a
pre-established pattern, other than elements which can produce, rectify, modulate or
amplify an electrical signal (for example, semiconductor elements).
The expression “printed circuits” does not cover circuits combined with elements other than
those obtained during the printing process, nor does it cover individual, discrete resistors,
capacitors or inductances. Printed circuits may, however, be fitted with non-printed
connecting elements.

Aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof

Notes.
1.- For the purposes of this Chapter, the expression “unmanned aircraft” means any
aircraft, other than those of heading 88.01, designed to be flown without a pilot on
board. They may be designed to carry a payload or equipped with permanently
integrated digital cameras or other equipment which would enable them to
perform utilitarian functions during their flight.
The expression “unmanned aircraft,”, however does not cover flying toys,
designed solely for amusement purposes (heading 95.03).
Subheading Notes.
1.- For the purposes of subheadings 8802.11 to 8802.40, the expression “unladen
weight” means the weight of the machine in normal flying order, excluding the
weight of the crew and of fuel and equipment other than permanently fitted items
of equipment.
2.- For the purposes of subheadings 8806.21 to 8806.24 and 8806.91 to 8806.94,
the expression "maximum take-off weight" means the maximum weight of the
machine in normal flying order, at take-off, including the weight of payload,
equipment and fuel.
