Chapter 28

Inorganic chemicals; organic or inorganic compounds of precious metals, of rare-earth metals, of radioactive elements or of isotopes

Notes.

1.-Ā  Except where the context otherwise requires, the headings of this Chapter apply only toĀ :

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  (a) Separate chemical elements and separate chemically defined compounds, whether or not containing impurities;

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  (b) The products mentioned in (a) above dissolved in water;

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  (c)Ā  The products mentioned in (a) 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;

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  (d) The products mentioned in (a), (b) or (c) above with an added stabiliser (including an anti-caking agent) necessary for their preservation or transport;

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  (e)Ā  The products mentioned in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above with an added anti‑dusting agent or a colouring 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.

2.-Ā  In addition to dithionites and sulphoxylates, stabilised with organic substances (headingĀ 28.31), carbonates and peroxocarbonates of inorganic bases (headingĀ 28.36), cyanides, cyanide oxides and complex cyanides of inorganic bases (headingĀ 28.37), fulminates, cyanates and thiocyanates, of inorganic bases (headingĀ 28.42), organic products included in headingĀ 28.43 to 28.46 and 28.52 and carbides (headingĀ 28.49), only the following compounds of carbon are to be classified in this ChapterĀ :

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  (e)Ā  Hydrogen peroxide, solidified with urea (headingĀ 28.47), carbon oxysulphide, thiocarbonyl halides, cyanogen, cyanogen halides and cyanamide and its metal derivatives (headingĀ 28.53) other than calcium cyanamide, whether or not pure (ChapterĀ 31).

3.‑  Subject to the provisions of NoteĀ 1 to SectionĀ VI, this Chapter does not coverĀ :

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  (a) Sodium chloride or magnesium oxide, whether or not pure, or other products of SectionĀ V;

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  (b) Organo‑inorganic compounds other than those mentioned in NoteĀ 2 above;

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  (c)Ā  Products mentioned in NoteĀ 2, 3, 4 or 5 to ChapterĀ 31;

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  (d) Inorganic products of a kind used as luminophores, of headingĀ 32.06; glass frit and other glass in the form of powder, granules or flakes, of headingĀ 32.07;
