(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 failing to be classified as complete or finished by virtue of this rule), presented, unassembled or disassembled.

3. 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 substance. 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 referred to heading 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, these 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

1. 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, in so far as this criterion is applicable.
2. when goods cannot be classified by reference to 3 (a) or 3 (b), they shall be classified under the heading, which occur 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.-

1. camera cases, musical instrument cases, gun cases, drawing instrument cases, necklace cases and similar containers, specifically 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 soled therewith. This rule does not, however, apply to containers which gives the whole its essential character.
2. Subject to the provisions of rule 5 (a) above, packaging 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 does not apply when such packing materials or packing containers are clearly suitable for repetitive use.

(6).    For legal purposes, the classification of goods in the sub-headings of a heading shall be determined according to the terms of those sub-headings and any related subheading notes and, mutates mutandis, to the above rules, on the understanding that only sub-headings at the same level are comparable. For the purpose 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 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 derivaties, 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 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 or sub-Chapter 1 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 enolfunction compounds or organic bases, of sub-Chapters 1 to X or heading 29.42, are to be classified in the heading appropriate to the organic compound; and

(2)     Salts formed between organic compounds of subchapters 1 to X 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.

(d)     Metal alcoholates are to be classifed 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.

6.-     The compounds of headings 29.30 and 29.31 are organic compound the molecules of which contain, in addition to atoms of hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen, atoms of other nonmetals or of metals (such as sulphur, arsenic, mercury or lead) directly linked to carbon atoms. Heading 29.30 (organo-sulphur compounds) and heading No.

29.31 (other organoinorganic 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 derivaties).

7. – Headings 29.32, 29.33 and 29.34 do not include expoxides with a three-membered ring, ketone perorxides, 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.

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 polymerization 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 vulcanized fibre. The expression, however, does not apply to materials regarded as textile materials of section XI.

2. – This Chapter does not cover:

(a)     Waxes of heading 27.12 or 34.04;

(b)     Separate chemically defined organic compound (Chapter 29);

(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 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 units predominate, polymers 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 polymer, 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 heading 39.01 to 39.14, the expression “ primary form” applies only to the following forms:

(a)     Liquids and paste, including dispersions (emulsions and suspension ) and solutions;

This expression also includes sausage casings and other lay-flat tubing. However, expect for the last – mention, 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 covering of plastics” applies to products in rolls, of a width not less than 45 cm, suitable for wall or ceiling decoration, consisting of plastic fixed permanently on a backing of any material other than paper, the layer of plastics (on face side ) being grained, embossed, coloured, design-printed or otherwise decorated.
10. – In headings 39.20 and 39.21, the expression “plates, sheet, 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 article ready for use ) .
11. – Heading 39.25 applies only to the following articles, not being products covered by any of the early heading of sub-Chapter II:

(a)     Reservoirs, tanks (including septic tanks ), vats and similar containers, of a capacity exceeding 3001;

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 subheading of a polymer by the prefix “poly” (e.g, polyethylene and polyamide – 6,means that the constituent monomer unit or monomer units of the named polymer taken together must contribute 95% or more by weight of the total polymer content .

(2)     The copolymers named in subheadings 3901.30, 3903.20, 3903.30 and 3904.30 are to be classified in those subheadings, provided that  the comonomer units of the named copolymers contribute 95% or more by weight of the total polymer content .

(3)     Chemically modified polymers are to be classified in the subheading named “Other” provided that the chemically modified polymers are not more specifically covered by another subheading.

(4)     Polymers not meeting (1), (2) or (3) above, are to be classified in the subheading, among the remaining subheadings in the series, covering polymers of that monomer unit which predominates by weight over every other single comonomer unit. For this purpose, constituent monomer units of polymers failing 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 to 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 unit of the polymers in the series under consideration are to be compared .

(2.)    Chemically modified polymer are to be classified in the subheading appropriate to unmodified polymer .

polymer blends are to be classified in the same subheading as polymers of the same monomer units in the same proportions .

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

Notes.

1. – Except where the context otherwise requires, throughout the Nomenclature the expression “rubber” means the following products, whether or not vulcanized or hard: natural rubber, balata, gutta-percha, guayule, chicle and similar natural gums, synthetic rubber, factice derived from oils, and such substances reclaimed.
2. – This Chapter does not cover:

(a)     Goods of section XI (textiles and textile articles);

(b)     Footwear or parts thereof of Chapter 64;

(c)     Headgear or parts thereof (including bathing caps ) of Chapter 65;

(d)     Mechanical or electrical appliances or parts thereof section XVI (including electrical goods of all kinds), of all rubber;

(e)     Articles of Chapter 90, 92, 94 or 96; or

(f)      Articles of Chapter 95 (other than sports gloves, mitten and mitts and articles of headings 40.11 to 40. 13 ).

3. – In headings 40.01 to 40.03 and 40.05, the expression “primary forms” applies only to the following forms:

(a)     Liquids and pastes (including latex, whether or not pre-vulcanised, and other dispersions and solutions);

(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 rub applies to:

(a)     Unsaturated synthetic substances which can be irreversibly transformed by vulcanisation with sulphur into non – thermoplastic substances which at a temperature between 18oC and 29oC, 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 vulcanizing 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 extender, plasticisers and filers, is not permitted;

(b)     Thioplasts (TM); and

(c)     Natural rubber modified by grafting or mixing with plastics, depolymerised natural rubber, mixtures of unsaturated synthetic substance with saturated synthetic high polymers provided that all the above- mentioned products comply with the requirements concerning vulcanization, 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, expect 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 electro-positive rubber latexes), antioxidants, coagulants, crumbing agents, freeze-resisting agents, peptisers, preservatives, stabilizer, viscosity-control agents or simila special- purpose additives.

6. – For the purposes of heading 40.04, the expressions “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 5mm, 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 block 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 . 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)     Elastomeric yarn

Filament yarn, including monofilament, of synthetic textile materials, other than textured yarn, which does not break on being extended to three times its original length and which returns, after being extended to twice its original length, within a period of five minutes, to a length not greater than one and a half times its original length.

(b)     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 garneted 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).

(c)     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;

(ii)     consists of a mixture of unbleached and bleached fibres; or

(iii)    is multiple (folded) or cabled and consists of unbleached and bleached yarns.

(d)     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 of 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, mutats mutandis, to monofilament and to strip or the like of chapter 54.

(e)     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.

(f)      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.

(g)     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.

(h)     Woven fabric of yarns of different colours

Woven fabric (other than printed woven fabrics) which:

(i)      consists of yarns of different colours or yarns of different shades of the Bsame colour (other than the natural colour of the constituent fibres);

(ii)     consists of unbleached or bleached yarn and coloured yarn; o

(iii)    consists of marl or mixture yarns.

In all cases, the yarn used in selvedges and piece ends is not taken into consideration).

(i)      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).

The process of mercerization does not affect the classification of yarns or fabrics within the above categories.

The definitions at (e) to (ij) above apply, mutatis mutandis, to knitted or crocheted fabrics.

(j)      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 Chapter 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.

Man-made filaments

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, such as polyamides, polyester, polyurethanes or polyvinyl derivatives; or

(b)     By chemical transformation of natural organic polymers (for example, cellulose, casein, proteins or algae), such as viscose rayon, cellulose acetate, cupro or alginates.

The terms “synthetic” and “artificial”, used in relation to fibres, means: synthetic: fibres as defined at (a); artificial: fibres as defined at (b).

The terms “man-made”, “synthetic” and “artificial” shall have the same meanings when used in relation to “textile materials”.

2. – Headings 54.02 and 54.03 do not apply to synthetic or artificial filament tow of

Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted

Notes.

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 as 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

– 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 ribbed waistband or other means of tightening at the bottom of the garment, or garments having an average of less than 10 stitches per linear centimentre in each direction counted on an area measuring at least 10 cm x 10 cm. Heading 61.05 does not cover sleeveless garments.
5. – Heading 61.09 does not cover garments with a drawstring, ribbed waistband or other means of tightening at the bottom of the garment.

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 fast (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.

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.

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 fabrics 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 skirts 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.

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. – 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; it also covers babies’ napkins;

(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.

5. – 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.
6. – 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.

7. – Scarves and articles of the scarf type, square or approximately square, of which no side exceeds 60cm, 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.
8. – 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.

9. – Articles of this Chapter may be made of metal thread.

(c)     Silicon-electrical steelAlloy steels containing by weight at least 0.6% but not more than 6% of

silicon and not more than 0.08% of carbon. They may also contain by weight not more than 1% of aluminium but no other element in a proportion that would give the steel the characteristics of another alloy steel.

(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.
