INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON
THE HARMONIZED COMMODITY DESCRIPTION
AND CODING SYSTEM

(done at Brussels on 14 June 1983)

PREAMBLE

The Contracting Parties to this Convention, established under the auspices of the
Customs Co-operation Council,
Desiring to facilitate international trade,
Desiring to facilitate the collection, comparison and analysis of statistics, in particular
those on international trade,
Desiring to reduce the expense incurred by redescribing, reclassifying and recoding
goods as they move from one classification system to another in the course of
international trade and to facilitate the standardization of trade documentation and the
transmission of data,
Considering that changes in technology and the patterns of international trade require
extensive modifications to the Convention on Nomenclature for the Classification of
Goods in Customs Tariffs, done at Brussels on 15 December 1950,
Considering also that the degree of detail required for Customs and statistical
purposes by Governments and trade interests has increased far beyond that provided by
the Nomenclature annexed to the above-mentioned Convention,
Considering the importance of accurate and comparable data for the purposes of
international trade negotiations,
Considering that the Harmonized System is intended to be used for the purposes of
freight tariffs and transport statistics of the various modes of transport,
Considering that the Harmonized System is intended to be incorporated into
commercial commodity description and coding systems to the greatest extent possible,
Considering that the Harmonized System is intended to promote as close a correlation
as possible between import and export trade statistics and production statistics,
Considering that a close correlation should be maintained between the Harmonized
System and the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) of the United
Nations,
Considering the desirability of meeting the aforementioned needs through a combined
tariff/statistical nomenclature, suitable for use by the various interests concerned with
international trade,
Considering the importance of ensuring that the Harmonized System is kept up-to-
date in the light of changes in technology or in patterns of international trade,
Having taken into consideration the work accomplished in this sphere by the
Harmonized System Committee set up by the Customs Co-operation Council,
Considering that while the above-mentioned Nomenclature Convention has proved an
effective instrument in the attainment of some of these objectives, the best way to
achieve the desired results in this respect is to conclude a new international Convention,
Have agreed as follows :

IE

extent that publication is not precluded for exceptional reasons such as
commercial confidentiality or national security;

III E

GENERAL RULES FOR THE INTERPRETATION


OF THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM

Classification of goods in the Nomenclature shall be governed by the


following principles :
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.
(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 :

10 F
Conv.

(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.

3.- Goods which could be included in two or more of the headings of this Chapter are to be
classificed 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 purposes of heading
29.29.
For the purposes of headings 29.11, 29.12, 29.14, 29.18 and 29.22, " oxygen-function " is to be
restricted to the functions (the characteristic organic oxygen-containing groups) 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.

be classified in the same heading as the corresponding acid-function compounds.

(C) Subject to Note I to Section VI and Note 2 to Chapter 28 :


(I) 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-Chapter; 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 cnol-
function compounds) from which they are formed, whichever occurs last m 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

Section VI
Chapter 29

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
derivanves) 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 csters of polyhydric alcohols or phenols with polybasic acids, or imrdes 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 hormone-stimulating factors, hormone
inhibtors and hormone antagonists (anti-hormones);

(b) The expression "used primarily as hormones" applies not only to hormone derivatives and
strutural analogues used primarily for their hormonal effect, but also to those derivatives and
strctural analogues used primarily as intermediates in the synthesis of products of this heading.

Suhheading 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 sudheading named " Other " in the series of subheadings concerned.

2.- Note 3 to Chapter 29 does not apply to subheadings of this 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.

(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.

For the purposes of this Chapter, except where the context otherwise requires, copolymers (
including co-polycondensates co-polyaddition products, block copolymers and gratt copolymers)
and polymer blends are to be classrfied in the heading covering polymers of that comonomer unit
which predominates by weight over every other single comonomer unit. For the purposes of this
Nute, 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 casc may
bc, 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 unmodificd 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 rnaterial,
transformed into primary forms (headings 39.01 to 39.14).

198
Section VII
Chapter 39

8.- For the purposes of heading 39.17, the expression " tubes pipes and hoses " means hollow,
products, whether semi-manufactured 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
lastmentioned, 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 Nos. 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. fot example, in floors, walls or


partliloils, ceilings or roofs;
(c) Gutters and fittings therefor;

(d) Doors, windows and their frames and thresholds for doors;

(e) Balconies, balustrades, fencing, gates and similar barriers;


(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, switchplates 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 :

199
Section VII
Chapter 39

(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 within 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 within 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 within 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 within 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 urpose,
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 mnnomer
units in the same proportions.
2 - For the purposes of subheading 3920.43, the term" plasticisers" incldes secondary
plasticisers."

(b) Blocks of irregular shape, lumps, bales, powders, granules, crumbs and similar bulk forms.

4.- In Note 1 to this Chapter and in heading 40.02, the expression " synthetic rubber " applics to :

(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 greatcr 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 resence of
substances as provided for by Note 5 (b) (ii) and (iii) is also permitted. However, the prcscncc of
any substances not necessary for the cross-linking, such as extenders, plasticiscrs and tillers, is
not permitted;

(b) Thioplasts (TM); and


(c ) Natural rubber modified by grafting or mixing with plastics depolymerised natural
ruhher,mixtures of unsaturated synthetrc substances with saturated synthetic high polymcrs

Man-made filaments; strip and the like of man-made textile materials

Notes.
1.- Throughout the Nomenclature, the term " man-made fibres " means staple ftbres 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 " artiacial ", used in relation to fibres, mean : synthetic : fibres as
dctincd 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 ".

or ferro-alloys.
(h) Granules:

Products of which less than 90 % by weight passes through a sieve with a mesh aperture of I
mm and of which 90 % or more by weight passes through a sieve with a mesh aperture of 5 mm.

(ij)Semi-finished products :

Continuous cast products of solid section, whether or not subjected to primary hot-rolling; and
Other products of solid section which have not been further worked than subjected to primary hot-
rolling or roughly shaped by forging, including blanks for angles, shapes or sections.
These products are not presented in coils.
(k) Flat-rolled products :
Rolled products of solid rectangular (other than square) cross-section, which do not conform to

times the thickness or if of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more are of a width which exceeds I 50 mm
and measures at least twice the thickness.
Flat-rolled products include those with patterns in relief derived directly from rolling (for
example, grooves ribs chequers tears, buttons, lozenges) and those which have been perforated,
corrugated or polished, provided that they do not thereby assume the character of articles or
products of other headings.
Flat-rolled products of a shape other than rectangular or square of any size, are to be
classified as products of a width of 600 mm or more, provided that they do not assume the
character of articles or products of other headings.
(l) Bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils

may have indentations, ribs, grooves or other deformations produced during the rolling process
(reinforcing bars and rods).
(m) Other bars and rods:

379
Section XV
Chapter 72

Products which do not conform to any of the definitions at (ij), (k) or (1) above or to the definition
of wire, which have a uniform solid cross-section along their whole length in the shape of circles,
segments of circles, ovals rectangles (including squares), triangles or other 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). These products may :

- have indentations, ribs, grooves or other deformations produced during the rolling process
(reinforcing bars and rods);
- be twisted after rolling.
(n) Angles, shapes and sections

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 I % of aluminiurm 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 I (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 I
(c) must each exceed 10 % by weight.

Zr Zirconium 0.3
Other elements*, each 0.3
* Other elements are, for example, Al, Be, Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Si.
(b) Copper alloys
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 %.
(c) Master alloys

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,
desulphurising 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
No 28.48

402
Section XV
Chapter 74

(d) 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-sectuion 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.
(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 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.
(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.

(g) Plates, sheets, strip and foil

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.

403
Section XV
Chapter 74

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.

(h) 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), cquilateral
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.

Subheading Note.
I.- In this Chapter the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them :

(a) Copper-zinc base alloys (brasses)

Alloys of copper and zinc, with or without other elements. When other elements are present :

- zinc predominates by weight over each of such other elements:


- any nickel content by weight is less than 5 % (see copper-nickel-zinc alloys (nickel silvers));
and
- any tin content by weight is less than 3 % (see copper-tin alloys (bronzes)).
(b) Copper-tin base alloys (bronzes):

Alloys of copper and tin, with or without other elements. When other elements are present tin
predominates by weight over each of such other elements, except that when the tin content is 3 %
or more the zinc content by weight may exceed that of tin but must be less than 10 %.

(c) Copper-nickel-zinc base alloys (nickel silvers):


Alloys of copper, nickel and zinc, with or without other elements. The nickel content is 5% or
more by weight (see copper-zinc alloys (brasses).
(d) Copper-nickel base alloys
Alloys of copper and nickel with or without other elements but in any case containing by weight
not more than 1% of zinc. When other elements are present, nickel predominates by weight over
each of such other elements.

4.- For the purposes of headine 85.23:

(a) "Solid-state non-volatile storage devices" (for example, "flash memory cards" or "flash
electronic storage cards") are storage devices with a connecting socket, comprising in the same
housing one or more flash memories (for example,"FLASH E PROM") in the form of integrated
circuits mounted on a printed circuit board. They may include a controller in the form of an
integrated circuit and discrete passive components, such as capacitors and resistors;

(b) The term "smart cards" means cards which have embedded in them one or more electronic
integrated circuits (a microprocessor, random access memory (RAM) or read-only memory (ROM)
in the form of chips. These cards may contain contacts, a magnetic stripe or an mbedded antenna
but do not contain any other active or passive circuit elements.

Section XVI
Chapter 85

5.- For the purposes of headine No. 85.34 " printed circuits " are circuits obtained by foming on an
insulating base, by any pnntmg 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 pattem,
other than elements which can produce, rectify, modulate or amplify an electrical signal (for
cxample, 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. Prinled circuits may, however, be fitted with non-printed connecting
elements.
Thin- or thick-film circuits comprising passive and active elements obtained during the same
technological process are to be classified in heading 85.42.
6.- For the purpose of heading 85.36,"connectores for optical fibres, optical fibre bundles or
cables" means connectors that simply mechanically align optical fibres end to end in a digital line
system. They perform no other function, such as the amplification, regeneration or modification of
a signal.
7.- Heading 85.37 does not include cordless infrared devices for the remote control of television
receivers or other electrical equipments (heading 85.43).
8.- For the purposes of headings 85.41 and 85.42 :

(A) " Diodes, transistors and similar semiconductor devices " are semiconductor devices the
operation of which depends on variations in resistivity on the application of an electric field:

(B) "Electronic integrated circuits" are:

(i) Monolithic integrated circuits in which the circuit elements (diodes, transistors.
resistors,capacitors, inductances, etc.) are created in the mass (essentially) and on the surface of
a semiconductor or compound semiconductor material (for example, doped silicon, gallium
arsenide, silicon germanium, indium phosphide) and are inseparably associated;

(ii) Hybrid integrated circuits in which passive elements (resistors, capacitors, inductances,
etc.), obtained by thin- or thick-film technology, and active elements (diodes, transistors,monolithic
integrated circuits, etc.) obtained by semiconductor technology, are combined to all intents and
purposes indivisibly, by interconnections or interconnecting cables, on a single insulating substrate
(gtass, ceramic, etc.). These circuits may also include discrete components;

(iii) Multichip integrated circuits consisting of two or more interconnected monolithic integrated
circuits combined to all intents and purposes indivisibly, whether or not on one or more insulationg
substrates, with or without leadframes, but with no other active or passive circuit elements.

For the classification of the articles defined in this Note, headings 85.41 and 85.42 shall take
precedence over any other heading in the Nomenclature,except in the case of heading 85.23,
which might cover them by reference to, in particular, their function.

9.- For the purposes of heading 85.48, " spent primary cells, spent primary batteries and spent
electric accumulators " are those which are neither usable as such because of breakage, cutting-
up. wear or other rcasons, nor capable of being recharged.
