This heading covers products obtained by pressing lard (i.e., lard stearin and lard oil) or by pressing tallow (i.e., oleo-oil, tallow oil and oleostearin). In these processes the lard or tallow is held in heated tanks for three to four days during which time crystals of lard stearin or oleostearin are formed. The resulting grainy mass is then pressed to separate the oils from the stearins. This pressing differs from the pressing in dry rendering which is conducted at higher temperature to remove the residual fat from the other animal materials such as protein and connective tissue, etc. The products of this heading may also be obtained by other methods of fractionation. Lard stearin is the solid white fat left after lard or other rendered pig fat has been pressed. The heading covers both the edible and inedible forms. Edible lard stearin is sometimes mixed with soft lard to give it a firmer consistency (heading 15.17). Inedible lard stearin is used as a lubricant or as a source of glycerol, olein or stearin. Lard oilis a product obtained by the cold pressing of lard or other rendered pig fat.

The main source is the African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) which is native to tropical Africa but is also grown in Central America, Malaysia and Indonesia; other examples are Elaeis melanococca (also known as noli palm) and various species of Acrocomia palms, including the Paraguayan palm (coco mbocaya), originating in South America. The oils are obtained by extraction or pressing and may be of various colours depending on their condition and whether they have been refined. They are distinguishable from palm kernel oils (heading 15.13), which are obtained from the same oil palms by having a very high palmitic and oleic acid content. Palm oil is used in the manufacture of soap, candles, cosmetic or toilet preparations, as a lubricant, for hot-dipped tin coating, in the production of palmitic acid, etc. Refined palm oil is used as a food stuff, e.g., as a frying fat, and in the manufacture of margarine.

Cocoa beans are the seeds, contained in large numbers (25 to 80), in the fruit (cocoa-pod) of the cacao-tree (Theobroma cacao). They are of flat ovoid form, generally violet or reddish in colour. They consist of a tough, brittle shell, and a very thin whitish inner husk or skin covering the kernel and dividing it into several sections. In order to reduce their slightly bitter taste, to develop the aroma and to facilitate shelling, the beans are fermented; they may alternatively be steam treated and dried. They are roasted to facilitate removal of the shells, to render the kernels more friable, to concentrate the product and improve the flavour and aroma. They are then passed through corrugated rollers which break up the beans and detach the germs; subsequent processes separate the shells, husks and germs from the broken pieces of kernels (cocoa nibs).

Wine leesoriginate as a muddy deposit during the fermentation and maturing of wine. When the deposit is filter-pressed, wine lees in the solid form are obtained. Dried wine lees may be in powder or granular form, or in the form of irregular fragments. Argol is a concretion which forms in wine vats during the fermentation of grape must, or in casks in which wine is stored. It occurs in the form of powder or flakes or crystalline pieces of irregular shape; it varies in colour from grey to dark red. After a first washing, argol is in the form of greyish-yellow or reddish-brown crystals, the colour depending on the colour of the wine from which it was obtained. This washed argol is also classified in this heading. Both wine lees and argol (including washed argol) are crude potassium hydrogen tartrates containing a fairly high proportion of calcium tartrate. They are used as a source of potassium bitartrate (cream of tartar) which occurs in the form of white crystals or as a crystalline powder, odourless, acid to taste and stable in air. Wine lees are used in the preparation of animal foods, while argol is used as a mordant in dyeing.

The heading includes products of a kind used in animal feeding, obtained by processing vegetable or animal materials to such an extent that they have lost the essential characteristics of the original material, for example, in the case of products obtained from vegetable materials, those which have been treated to such an extent that the characteristic cellular structure of the original vegetable material is no longer recognisable under a microscope. (I) SWEETENED FORAGE Sweetened forage is a mixture of molasses or other similar sweetening substances (generally more than 10 % by weight) with one or more other nutrients. It is used mainly for feeding cattle, sheep, horses or pigs. Besides being highly nutritive, molasses enhances the palatability of foodstuffs and thus extends the use of products of low nutritive value such as straw, cereal husks, linseed flakes and fruit pomace which the animals would otherwise be reluctant to accept.

Anhydrite is a natural anhydrous calcium sulphate used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid or of certain types of plaster. Plasters consist of gypsum partly or completely dehydrated by calcination. The characteristic of gypsum is that, when calcined, it loses part of its water thus forming plasters which on being mixed with water set hard. In order that the plasters should not set too quickly small quantities of retarders are often added to the calcined gypsum. For special purposes gypsum is calcined until all its water is lost, and a small quantity of an accelerator such as alum is added (Keene\u2019s cement or English cement). Similar plasters are made by adding alum to natural anhydrite. All these prepared plasters remain in this heading. This heading also covers : (1) Plaster reduced to a floury consistency for use in dressing woven fabrics or surfacing paper. (2) Plaster containing added colouring matter.

(A) SUBLIMED OR PRECIPITATED SULPHUR The sulphur in these two categories is usually about 99.5 % pure. Sublimed sulphur, or flowers of sulphur, is obtained by slow distillation of crude or impure sulphur, followed by condensation in the solid form (or sublimation) as fine, very light particles. It is chiefly used in viticulture, in the chemical industry or for vulcanising high-grade rubber. This heading also includes \u201cwashed sublimed sulphur\u201d, treated with ammonia solution to eliminate the sulphur dioxide; this product is used in medicine. The precipitated sulphur classified here is always obtained by precipitating a solution of a sulphide, or of an alkaline or alkaline-earth polysulphide, with hydrochloric acid. It is more finely divided and paler yellow than sublimed sulphur; its odour is somewhat similar to that of hydrogen sulphide and it deteriorates with age. Its uses are almost entirely medicinal. The precipitated sulphur of this heading must not be confused with certain \u201crecovered\u201d (triturated or micronised) sulphurs sometimes described as \u201cprecipitated\u201d but classified in heading 25.03. (B) COLLOIDAL SULPHUR Colloidal sulphur is obtained by the action of hydrogen sulphide on a solution of sulphur dioxide containing gelatin.

Carbon black results from the incomplete combustion or cracking (by heating, by electric arc or by electric sparks) of organic substances rich in carbon, such as : (1) Natural gases such as methane, anthracenic gases (i.e., gases carburetted with anthracene) and acetylene. Acetylene black, a very fine and pure product, is obtained by the sudden decomposition, initiated by an electric spark, of compressed acetylene. (2) Naphthalene, resins, oils (lamp black). Carbon black may also be described as channel black or furnace black, according to the method of production. Carbon black may contain oily impurities. Carbon black is used as a pigment for the manufacture of paint, printing ink, shoe-polish, etc., in making carbon paper, and as a reinforcing agent in the rubber industry.

Sub-Chapter II INORGANIC ACIDS AND INORGANIC OXYGEN COMPOUNDS OF NON-METALS GENERAL Acids contain hydrogen which can be wholly or partly replaced by metals (or by ions with analogous properties, e.g., the ammonium ion (NH4+)) as a result salts are formed. Acids react with bases to form salts, and with alcohols to form esters. In the liquid state or in solution, they are electrolytes which produce hydrogen at the cathode. When one or more molecules of water are eliminated from those acids containing oxygen, anhydrides are obtained. Most oxides of non-metals are anhydrides. This sub-Chapter covers inorganic oxygen compounds of non-metals (anhydrides and other), and also inorganic acids, the anode radical of which is a non-metal. On the other hand it excludes anhydrides and acids formed, respectively, by metal oxides or hydroxides; these generally fall in sub-Chapter IV (e.g., metal oxides, hydroxides and peroxides, such as acids or anhydrides of chromium, molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium). In certain cases, however, they fall elsewhere, e.g., in heading 28.43 (compounds of precious metals), heading 28.44 or 28.45 (compounds of radioactive elements and isotopes) or heading 28.46 (compounds of rare-earth metals, of scandium or yttrium).

(A) SULPHURIC ACID Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) is mainly obtained by passing oxygen and sulphur dioxide over a catalyst (platinum, ferric oxide, vanadium pentoxide, etc.). It is freed from impurities (nitrogen compounds, arsenical or seleniferous products, lead sulphate) by treatment with hydrogen sulphide or ammonium sulphide. Sulphuric acid is a very strong corrosive. It is a dense, oily liquid, colourless (if it does not contain impurities) or yellow or brown (in other cases). It reacts violently on contact with water and destroys the skin and most organic substances by carbonising them. Commercial sulphuric acid contains between 77 and 100 % H2SO4. It is presented in containers or carboys of glass, in steel drums, tank trucks, railway tank wagons or tank ships. This acid is used in a great number of industries : it is used in particular in the preparation of fertilisers, explosives and inorganic pigments and, inter alia, in the petroleum and steel industries. (B) OLEUM Oleum (fuming sulphuric acid) is sulphuric acid charged with an excess (up to 80 %) of sulphur trioxide. Oleums can be liquid or solid, very brown in colour; they react violently with water, attack the skin and clothing, give off dangerous fumes (in particular, free sulphur trioxide). They are presented in glass, earthenware or sheet iron containers. Oleum is largely used in sulphonation reactions in organic chemistry (preparation of naphthalenesulphonic acid, hydroxyanthraquinone, thioindigo, alizarin derivatives, etc.). The heading does not include : (a) ","2808":"Nitric acid; sulphonitric acids. 28.08 - Nitric acid; sulphonitric acids. (A) NITRIC ACID Nitric acid (HNO3) is mainly obtained by oxidising ammonia in the presence of a catalyst (platinum, iron, chromium, bismuth or manganese oxides, etc.). Alternatively, nitrogen and oxygen may be directly combined in an electric-arc furnace and the resulting nitric oxide oxidised. It can also be prepared by the action of sulphuric acid (alone or associated with sodium disulphate) on natural sodium nitrate; the impurities (sulphuric or hydrochloric acids, nitrous fumes) are eliminated by distillation and hot air. Nitric acid is a colourless or yellowish toxic liquid. In concentrated form (fuming nitric acid), it gives off clouds of yellowish nitrous fumes. It attacks the skin and destroys organic matter; it is a powerful oxidising agent. It is presented in glass or earthenware carboys or aluminium containers. Its uses include the manufacture of nitrates (of silver, mercury, lead, copper, etc.), organic dyes, explosives (nitroglycerol, collodion cotton, trinitrotoluene, picric acid, mercury fulminate, etc.); the pickling of metals (especially for pickling cast iron); copperplate engraving; gold or silver refining.

Sub-Chapter IV INORGANIC BASES AND OXIDES, HYDROXIDES AND PEROXIDES OF METAL GENERAL Bases are compounds characterised by a hydroxyl radical (OH) and which react with acids to form salts. In the liquid state or in solution, they are electrolytes giving a metal or an analogous ion (ammonium (NH4+)) at the cathode. Metal oxides are compounds of a metal with oxygen. Many can combine with one or more molecules of water to form hydroxides. Most oxides are basic since their hydroxides act as bases. Certain oxides (anhydride oxides), however, react only with alkaline or other bases to form salts, while another more common class (amphoteric oxides) can behave both as anhydride oxides or as bases. These classes of oxides must be regarded as anhydrides of acids, real or hypothetical, corresponding to their hydroxides. Certain oxides (saline oxides) may be regarded as resulting from the combination of a basic oxide with an anhydride oxide. This sub-Chapter covers : (1) Oxides, hydroxides and peroxides of metal, whether basic, acidic, amphoteric or saline. (2) Other inorganic bases containing no oxygen, such as ammonia (heading 28.14), or hydrazine (heading 28.25), and those containing no metal, such as hydroxylamine (heading 28.25). The sub-Chapter excludes : (a) The oxides and hydroxides of Chapter 25, particularly magnesia (magnesium oxide), whether or not pure, and quicklime and slaked lime (crude calcium oxide and hydroxide).

Sodium hydroxide is obtained, for example, by causticising sodium carbonate with milk of lime or by electrolysing sodium chloride. It may be presented as an aqueous solution or an anhydrous solid. Evaporation of the sodium hydroxide aqueous solution produces solid sodium hydroxide in the form of flakes or lumps. The pure product is presented in pellets or cubes in glass jars. Solid sodium hydroxide attacks the skin and destroys the mucous membranes. It is deliquescent and very soluble in water; it must therefore be kept in well-sealed steel containers. It is a powerful base with many industrial uses : preparation of certain chemical wood pulps by elimination of the lignin, manufacture of regenerated cellulose, mercerising of cotton, tantalum or niobium metallurgy, production of hard soaps, manufacture of many chemical products, including phenolic compounds (phenol, resorcinol, alizarin, etc.).

(A) ZINC OXIDE Zinc oxide(zinc white) (ZnO) is obtained by burning zinc vapour with oxygen from air. The zinc vapour is obtained by vaporising metallic zinc (indirect or French process) or by the reduction of oxidic zinc raw materials like zinc ores (roasted blende, calamine \u2013 heading 26.08) with carbon (direct or American process). In these processes, the oxide is collected in bag houses or chambers forming deposits of increasingly pure oxides. In the wet process, zinc is leached from zinc containing raw materials and then precipitated as zinc hydroxide or carbonate. The precipitate is filtered, washed, dried and calcinated to ZnO. Zinc oxide is a fine white powder which turns yellow on heating. It is of amphoteric nature, soluble in acids and alkalis. Zinc oxide is mainly used in industrial paints. It is also used in the rubber industry, ceramic, glass manufacturing, electronics and pharmaceuticals.

It is prepared by electrolysing an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, or by the action of sodium sulphate or sodium carbonate on calcium hypochlorite, or by treating sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) with chlorine. This salt, very soluble in water, does not exist in the anhydrous state; it is rather unstable and sensitive to heat and light. Aqueous solutions of sodium hypochlorite are colourless or yellowish, smelling of chlorine. They generally contain as impurities a small quantity of sodium chloride. Used for bleaching vegetable fibres or wood pulp, disinfecting premises, purifying water or preparing hydrazine.

In theory, the heading also covers the ortho-acids (RC(OH)3) since these may be regarded as hydrated carboxylic acids(RCOOH + H 2O = RC(OH)3). In practice, however, these do not exist in the free state, but they do give rise to stable esters (ortho-esters, to be regarded as esters of hydrated carboxylic acids). Carboxylic acids may contain one or more carboxyl groups (\u2013COOH) (monocarboxylic acids or polycarboxylic acids, respectively). If the hydroxyl group (\u2013OH) is removed, the residue is an acyl radical which can be representedby the formula (RCO\u2013) where R is an alkyl or aryl radical (methyl, ethyl, phenyl, etc.). Acyl radicals enter into the formulae of anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids, esters and salts. Sulphonic acids, which contain the group (\u2013SO3H) are quite different from carboxylic acids; they are classified as sulphonated derivatives in various sub-Chapters. This sub-Chapter includes only those which are sulphonated derivatives of the chemicals of this sub-Chapter.

Sub-Chapter VIII ESTERS OF INORGANIC ACIDS OF NON-METALS AND THEIR SALTS, AND THEIR HALOGENATED, SULPHONATED, NITRATED OR NITROSATED DERIVATIVES GENERAL (A) ESTERS OF INORGANIC ACIDS OF NON-METALS These compounds are usually formed by the reaction of an alcohol or phenol with inorganic acids of non-metals. They have the general formula (ROX) in which R is an alcoholic or phenolic radical and X is the residue of the inorganic acid molecule known as an acid radical. The acid radical of nitric acid is (\u2013NO2), of sulphuric acid (=SO2), of phosphoric acid (\u00baPO); and of carbonic acid ( CO). This sub-Chapter excludes esters of later headings in this Chapter. (B) SALTS OF ESTERS OF INORGANIC ACIDS OF NON-METALS These can be obtained only from esters of inorganic polybasic acids of non-metals (sulphuric, phosphoric, silicic, etc.). Polybasic acids have more than one replaceable acidic element, and when all such elements are not esterified the result is an acid ester. Appropriate treatment of these acid esters produces a salt of an ester of an inorganic acid of a nonmetal. Nitrous and nitric acids, on the other hand, being monobasic, can give only neutral esters. 29.19 - Phosphoric esters and their salts, including lactophosphates; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives*. 2919.10 - Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate 2919.90 - Other Phosphoric acid, being tribasic, gives three types of phosphoric esters according to whether one, t","2920":"Esters of other inorganic acids of non-metals (excluding esters of hydrogen halides) and their salts; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives. 29.20 Esters of other inorganic acids of non-metals (excluding esters of hydrogen halides) and their salts; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives. - Thiophosphoric esters (phosphorothioates) and their salts; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives : 2920.11 - - Parathion (ISO) and parathion-methyl (ISO) (methyl-parathion) 2920.19 - - Other - Phosphite esters and their salts; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives : 2920.21 - - Dimethyl phosphite 2920.22 - - Diethyl phosphite 2920.23 - - Trimethyl phosphite 2920.24 - - Triethyl phosphite 2920.29 - - Other 2920.30 - Endosulfan (ISO) 2920.90 - Other This heading covers esters of other inorganic acids of non-metals, that is, acids in which the anion contains only non-metal elements.

Usually, under the action of acids, bases or enzymes, they are split into a sugar part and a non-sugar part (aglycone). These parts are bonded to each other via the anomeric carbon atom of the sugar. Thus, products such as vacciniin and hamamelitannin of heading 29.40 are not considered to be glycosides. The most common naturally-occurring glycosides are the O-glycosides, in which the sugar moiety and aglycone normally are linked by an acetal function. However, there are also naturally-occurring Nglycosides, S-glycosides and C-glycosides, in which the sugar\u2019s anomeric carbon is linked to the aglycone via a nitrogen atom, a sulphur atom or a carbon atom, respectively (e.g., casimiroedine (an N-glycoside) sinigrin (an S-glycoside) and aloin (a C-glycoside)). The aglycone is sometimes linked to the sugar by an ester group.

These gases generate a propellent effect. In the case of propellent powders for firearms, combustion takes place in a confined space of virtually constant volume and the pressure created in the barrel of the firearm gives high velocity to a projectile. In the case of propellent powders for rockets, combustion produces a constant pressure and the escape of gases through a nozzle gives the propellent effect. The propellent powders of this heading contain combustible ingredients and ingredients which support combustion. They may also contain ingredients whose purpose is to control the rate of combustion. The heading includes : (1) Black powder (gunpowder) Black powder consists of an intimate mixture of potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate, sulphur and charcoal.

This heading covers mixtures of chemical substances the combustion of which produces a more violent reaction than that produced by propellent powders. Combustion produces an extremely large release of gas at a high temperature, creating an enormous pressure within a very short period. Phlegmatising agents are often added to these products to reduce their sensitivity to shock or friction. The heading includes : (1) Explosives consisting of mixtures based on nitrates of glycerol (nitroglycerol) and ethylene glycol (nitroglycol). These products are commonly called dynamites and often contain other substances such as nitrocellulose (gun-cotton), ammonium nitrate, peat, wood flour, sodium chloride or granulated aluminium.

These products fall in two groups : (I) Products generally characterised by a very large specific surface (of the order of hundreds of square metres per gram), and by the presence of van der Waal\u2019s bonds (physical adsorption) or free chemical bonds saturable by organic or inorganic molecules (chemical adsorption). These products are obtained by chemical or heat treatment of certain vegetable or mineral substances (clay, bauxite, etc.) in the presence of natural impurities or added foreign matter. This treatment causes a change in the structure of the basic substance, accompanied by an increase in the specific surface, and, in the case of crystalline substances, distortions in the lattice due to the insertion or substitution of atoms with different valencies. The valencies which thus remain free can cause the condensation of protons or electrons on the surface, rendering the product active as a chemical adsorbent, a catalyst or an ion-exchanger.

Tall oil (sometimes known as liquid rosin) is obtained from the black liquor left over from the manufacture of wood pulp by an alkali process or, more particularly, by the sulphate process. When this liquor is poured into settling-vats, a frothy mass forms on its surface. Crude tall oil is obtained when this frothy mass is heated and acidified, usually with dilute sulphuric acid. Crude tall oil is a dark brown, semi-fluid mixture of fatty acids (mainly oleic and linoleic acids and their isomers), resin acids (especially the abietic types), and a smaller quantity of non-saponifiable products (sterols, higher alcohols and various impurities), in proportions varying according to the nature of the wood. Refined tall oil may be obtained by distilling crude tall oil under very low pressure (distilled tall oil) or by other processes (e.g., treatment with selective solvents or activated earths). It is a yellowish liquid consisting essentially of fatty acids and resin acids. Tall oil is used, inter alia, for the preparation of emulsions for road-surfacing, of common soap, metallic soaps, wetting agents and emulsifiers for the textile or paper industry, drying oils used in the manufacture of varnishes, paints or linoleum, oils for metal-working, disinfectants, mastics, etc.; it is also used as a plasticiser for rubber and increasingly as a source of tall oil fatty acids and tall oil resin acids.

This heading covers : (1) Residual lyes from the manufacture of wood pulp by the sulphite process, whether or not concentrated, desugared or chemically treated. Concentrated sulphite lye consists mainly of salts of lignosulphonic acids mixed with sugars and other products. It is usually in the form of a viscous liquid, a sticky brownish paste, a blackish mass with a vitreous fracture (in this case, it is sometimes known as sulphite pitch or cellulose pitch), or of a dry powder. Concentrated sulphite lye is used as a binder for compressed blocks of fuel or for foundry cores, in the preparation of glues, impregnants, fungicides or tannins, for the production of alcohol, etc. This group also covers lignin sulphonates, usually obtained by precipitation from sulphite lye. Lignin sulphonates are used as an ingredient in adhesives, as dispersants, as concrete admixtures or as drilling-mud additives.

Vulcanised fibre, which is produced by treating paper or sheets of cellulose pulp with zinc chloride, is generally in the form of rods, tubes, sheets, plates or strip and is therefore also excluded (generally heading 39.16, 39.17, 39.20 or 39.21). (B) CHEMICAL DERIVATIVES OF CELLULOSE This group includes chemical derivatives of cellulose which serve as a basis in the manufacture of plastics as well as for other purposes. The principal chemical derivatives of cellulose, whether or not plasticised, are : (1) Cellulose acetates. These are prepared by treating cellulose (usually co","3913":"Natural polymers (for example, alginic acid) and modified natural polymers (for example, hardened proteins, chemical derivatives of natural rubber), not elsewhere specified or included, in primary forms. 39.13 - Natural polymers (for example, alginic acid) and modified natural polymers (for example, hardened proteins, chemical derivatives of natural rubber), not elsewhere specified or included, in primary forms. 3913.10 - Alginic acid, its salts and esters 3913.90 - Other The following are some of the principal natural or modified natural polymers of this heading. (1) Alginic acid, its salts and esters Alginic acid, a poly(uronic acid), is extracted from brown algae (Phaeophyta) by maceration in an alkaline solution. It may be produced by precipitating the extract with a mineral acid or by treating the extract to obtain an impure calcium alginate which on treatment with a mineral acid is transformed into alginic acid of high purity. Alginic acid is insoluble in water but its ammonium and alkali metal salts dissolve readily in cold water to form viscous solutions. The property of forming viscous solutions varies with the origin and degree of purity of the alginates. Water-soluble alginates are used as thickeners, stabilisers, gelling and film-forming agents in, for example, the pharmaceutical, food, textile and paper industries. These products may contain preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate) and be standardised by the addition of gelling agents (e.g., calcium salts), retarders (e.g., phosphates, citrates), accelerators (e.g., organic acids), and regulators (e.g., sucrose, u","3914":"Ion-exchangers based on polymers of headings 39.01 to 39.13, in primary forms. 39.14 - Ion-exchangers based on polymers of headings 39.01 to 39.13, in primary forms. Ion-exchangers of this heading are cross-linked polymers, generally in granular form, containing active ionic groups (usually sulphonic, carboxylic, phenolic or amino groups). These active ionic groups enable the polymers, when brought into contact with a solution of an electrolyte, to exchange one of their own types of ions for one of those (of the same sign, positive or negative) contained in the solution. These are used in water-softening, milk-softening, chromatography, for recovery of uranium from acid solutions and of streptomycin from broths and for various other industrial purposes. The most common ion-exchangers are chemically modified styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers, acrylic polymers or phenolic resins. This heading does not cover ion-exchange columns filled with ion-exchangers of this heading (heading 39.26). ______________________ 3914.00 Ion-exchangers based on polymers of headings 39.01 to 39.13, in primary forms.

This part includes : (1) Stabilised or concentrated natural rubber latex. Rubber latex tends to coagulate spontaneously a few hours after tapping; it must therefore be stabilised in order to ensure preservation and to prevent putrefaction or coagulation. This is usually done by adding ammonia to latex in the proportion of 5 to 7 grams per litre of latex, which produces a product known as \u201cfull ammonia\u201d or FA type.

Bovine or equine leathers are particularly notable for their stoutness and durability; sole leather and leather for machinery belting are, therefore, generally of these kinds. Sole leather is a hard-rolled or hammered leather. It is usually vegetable-tanned or tanned by a combination process and brown in colour, but some varieties (of a greenish-blue colour) are chrometanned. Leather for machinery belting is usually made from the backs of ox hides, generally vegetabletanned, and well greased and dressed to provide strong, flexible leather almost free from stretch.

The surface may then be cleaned and dressed by fluffing with pumice or other abrasives. The leather usually treated in this way is made from the flesh split of sheep skin or lamb skin from which the grain has been removed by frizing. Chamois leather is characterised by its softness, yellow colour (except when dyed) and washable character. It is used largely for gloves, wash-leathers, etc., and the skins of larger animals (deer, stag, etc.) similarly treated are used for clothing, harness or certain industrial purposes. Chamois leather which is obtained by using solely oils, as described above, is sometimes referred to as full oil chamois. White washable leather, similar in properties to the yellow chamois leather, is obtained by partial tanning with formaldehyde followed by oil tanning such as described above and is known as combination chamois.

This heading applies only to those cocoons which can be reeled to become raw silk classified in heading 50.02. Cocoons unsuitable for reeling are excluded (heading 50.03). Silk-worm cocoons are usually whitish, yellowish or sometimes greenish. 5001.00 Silk-worm cocoons suitable for reeling.","5002":"Raw silk (not thrown). 50.02 - Raw silk (not thrown). This raw silk is obtained by reeling the filaments from cocoons. In practice, since the filaments (baves) forming each cocoon are very fine, the raw silk (gr\u00e8ge) is obtained by combining several filaments (usually 4 to 20) during the reeling process; these filaments adhere together as they are reeled because of the gum (sericin) with which they are covered. The raw silk filaments are wrapped around themselves during reeling giving an even texture and section, assisting the drainage of surplus moisture and compensating for weaknesses in individual filaments; this operation frequently results in the filaments acquiring a certain twist. However, the twist is only very slight and raw silk at this stage should not be confused with the single thrown yarns of heading 50.04. Raw silk is usually whitish, yellowish or sometimes greenish. It is also covered by this heading if discharged (i.e., the gum removed by hot soapy water, dilute alkalis, etc.) or dyed, but not if thrown. It is usually put up in long lengths either on conical bobbins, or in hanks (skeins) of varying weight and tied in a loose knot (slips). Thrown silk is excluded (heading 50.04). 5002.00 Raw silk (not thrown).","5003":"Silk waste (including cocoons unsuitable for reeling, yarn waste and garnetted stock). 50.03 - Silk waste (including cocoons unsuitable for reeling, yarn waste and garnetted stock). This heading covers silk waste of all kinds, in the crude unworked state or at its various stages of processing prior to its conversion into yarn. It includes : (A) Waste obtained from the raw material, viz. : 1) Cocoons unsuitable for reeling : perforated or torn cocoons (damaged by the moth itself, by parasites, by accident or otherwise) with broken filament; cocoons so badly damaged that the filament, although not yet broken, would rupture at the affected points during the reeling process; badly stained or soiled cocoons whether or not still containing the chrysalis, etc. 2) Blazes. These are silky networks, formed of loose, tangled filaments, with which the silk-worm covers the cocoon to hold it in position on the branch; they often contain pieces of leaf or twig. (B) Waste obtained during the reeling process, in particular : 1) Frisons (floss silk). This is the term applied to the coarse threads forming the outer covering of the cocoon; these are first removed with small brushes and then cut away to leave that part of the cocoon which can be reeled. They are marketed as tangled balls or bundles of threads. 2) Cocoons found to be faulty and rejected during the reeling process (sometimes known as \u201cbassin\u00e9s\u201d). 3) \u201cPelettes\u201d or \u201ctelettes\u201d, i.e., the unreelable part of the thread forming the inner part of the cocoon and still enclosing the chrysalis, and \u201cpelades\u201d which are obtained by soaking t","5004":"Silk yarn (other than yarn spun from silk waste) not put up for retail sale. 50.04 - Silk yarn (other than yarn spun from silk waste) not put up for retail sale. This heading applies to thrown silk, i.e., yarns obtained by twisting (either singly or two or more together) the raw silk threads of heading 50.02. They are, however, excluded if put up for retail sale (heading 50.06) or if within the definition of twine, cordage, etc. (heading 56.07) (see Parts (I) (B) (2) and (3) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI). The yarns of this heading differ from the yarns spun from silk waste classified in the following heading in that they are formed of continuous fibres. There are many varieties, including : (1) Single yarns (sometimes known as poils), obtained by twisting a single raw silk thread. Hard-twisted yarns of this type are often called cr\u00eape poils, mousselines or chiffon twist. (2) Tram yarns, obtained by loosely twisting two or more unthrown raw silk threads; these are used as weft yarns. (3) \u201cCr\u00eape twist\u201d, generally a hard-twisted tram. (4) Organzine yarns, obtained from two or more raw silk threads which have been well twisted in the single by doubling them with reverse twist. Grenadine yarn is a hard-twisted organzine. These are used mainly as warp yarns. All these yarns may be discharged or finished.

This heading covers single yarns produced by spinning the noil or other silk waste of heading 50.03; it also covers multiple (folded) yarns produced from these single yarns. They are, however, excluded if put up for retail sale (heading 50.06) or if within the definition of twine, cordage, etc. (heading 56.07) (see Parts (I) (B) (2) and (3) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI). (A) Yarn spun from silk waste other than noil silk. Yarn spun from silk waste other than noil silk, unlike the silk yarn of the preceding heading, is formed of discontinuous fibres. These fibres, which may be up to 20 cm long, lie parallel in the yarn, giving it a smooth, silky and fairly glossy surface; these latter characteristics distinguish it from yarn spun from noil silk. (B) Yarn spun from noil silk. Noil silk yarns are of much poorer quality than other silk waste yarns; they are composed of fibres of varying lengths, usually less than 5 cm; since these fibres have simply been carded but not combed, they are usually still somewhat tangled and form small knots atintervals. Noil silk yarn accordingly lacks the strength and regularity of yarn spun from other silk waste and has a rather dull surface. The heading includes yarn which has been processed as described in Part (I) (B) (1) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI.

Wool fibres are essentially composed of the protein keratin, and have a characteristic scaly surface. They are elastic, extremely hygroscopic (absorb moisture from the air) and, as a rule, have marked felting properties. Wool is almost uninflammable, but chars giving off an odour akin to that of burnt horn. This heading covers sheep\u2019s or lambs\u2019 wool, not carded or combed, whether obtained by shearing the animal or the pelt of the dead animal (shorn wool), or by pulling from the pelt after fermentation or appropriate chemical treatment (e.g., pulled wool, slipe wool or skin wool). Uncarded and uncombed wool is generally in the form of : (A) Greasy, including fleece-washed wool. Greasy wool is wool not yet washed or otherwise cleaned; it is therefore still impregnated with wool grease and fatty matter derived from the animal itself and may contain an appreciable quantity of impurities (burrs, seeds, earth, etc.). Greasy shorn wool is often in the form of \u201cfleeces\u201d having more or less the contours of the pelt. Greasy pulled wool is removed from sheep or lamb skins by a fermentation (\u201csweating\u201d) process in which the fibres and the skin are subjected to the combined action of heat and moisture.

Fine animal hair is generally softer and less curled than wool. The hair of the alpaca, llama, vicuna, camel (including dromedary)l, yak, Angora, Kashmir (cashmere) or similar goats or Angora rabbit is generally spun like wool into yarns; it is also used for wig-making and for the manufacture of dolls\u2019 hair.

(2) Wool and fine animal hair, combed following the \u201cpreparing\u201d (gilling) or carding process. The purpose of carding (on special carding machines) is to disentangle the fibres, lay them more or less parallel, and entirely or largely free them from any extraneous matter (mostly vegetable) which they may still contain. The fibres are then in the form of webs. If \u201cwoollen\u201d products (i.e., those which have been carded only) are required, the web of fibres is divided lengthwise into numerous elements which are then rolled or rubbed into the form of slubbings to increase the cohesion of the fibres and to facilitate their spinning into yarns. The slubbings are wound onto bobbins and can be used without further operation for spinning into woollen yarns. If, on the contrary, combed products (worsted) are required, two alternative processes may be adopted, viz., either the carded webs are combed or, alternatively, the wool or animal hair is not first carded but before combing undergoes a \u201cpreparing\u201d p","5106":"Yarn of carded wool, not put up for retail sale. 51.06 - Yarn of carded wool, not put up for retail sale. 5106.10 - Containing 85 % or more by weight of wool 5106.20 - Containing less than 85 % by weight of wool This heading covers woollen yarns whether single or multiple (folded), i.e., those obtained by spinning the slubbings of carded (but not combed) wool. It also includes yarns, known as combed-carded yarns, which are obtained from carded (but not combed) slivers by the spinning operations employed for combed yarns.

This heading covers : (1) Yarns, whether single or multiple (folded), obtained by spinning the rovings of coarse animal hair (see Explanatory Note to heading 51.02 (item (2)) for an explanation of what is meant by coarse animal hair). These yarns are used in the manufacture of certain woven fabrics, interlinings or articles for technical uses. (2) Yarns of horsehair. These yarns are obtained by spinning, generally using the shorter horsehairs (those from the manes of equine animals or the tails of bovine animals). The much longer horsehairs from the tails of equine animals cannot be spun. They are often knotted end to end, forming continuous filaments which are used as the warp thread in the manufacture of certain horsehair fabrics. In view of their use, filaments of this kind are also classified in this heading. However, single horsehairs (not tied end to end) fall in heading 05.11. Horsehair yarns consisting of a bundle of horsehairs bound or gimped with yarn of cotton or of another textile material remain classified in this heading.

However, woven fabrics of horsehair may also be made with single horsehairs of heading 05.11. Woven fabrics of coarse animal hair are used for linings in furniture or furnishings, for interlinings in clothing, etc. Those made with single horsehairs are made on special looms, generally by hand. In view of the shortness of the hair (from 20 to 70 cm), these tissues are generally in small pieces and are mainly used for sieves. Other horsehair cloth is used largely for interlinings in garments.

It thus includes : Combing waste, usually referred to as comber noils; strippings recovered from carding or combing cylinders; broken fibres detached during the drawing process; fragments of slivers or rovings; carding fly; tangled yarn and other yarn waste; yarn and fibres resulting from the garnetting of rags.

This heading covers cotton (including garnetted stock and other cotton waste) which has been carded or combed, whether or not further prepared for spinning. The main purpose of carding is to disentangle the cotton fibres, lay them more or less parallel, and entirely or largely free them from any extraneous matter they may still contain. The fibres are then in the form of wide webs (laps) which are generally condensed into slivers. These slivers may or may not be combed before being converted into rovings. Combing, which is chiefly practised for the spinning of long staple cotton, removes the last traces of extraneous matter clinging to the fibres and eliminates the shorter fibres in the form of combing waste; only the longer fibres, lying parallel, remain. The slivers, whether or not combed, undergo a series of doubling and drawing processes on drawing frames and roving frames, emerging from the latter as rovings. It should be noted that rovings may, on leaving the roving frames, have approximately the same diameter as the single yarn of heading 52.05 or 52.06, and that they are slightly twisted; however, since they have not been spun, they do not yet constitute yarns and remain in this heading. Slivers are generally coiled into cans, whereas rovings are usually put up on large bobbins. Laps are normally rolled onto wooden rollers. The products of this heading may be bleached or dyed.

Flax (or linen) fibres occur in the plant as compact bundles of bast held together with a pectic substance. For use in the textile industry, the fibres must be separated from each other and from the rest of the plant, particularly from the inner woody part. This heading covers flax, raw, retted, scutched, hackled or otherwise processed but not spun. (A) Raw flax (flax straw). This is flax as harvested, whether or not rippled or bolled (i.e., with leaves and seeds removed). (B) Retted flax. Retting eliminates most of the pectic substance which surrounds the fibres, either by fermentation (by the action of bacteria or mould) or chemically. This process is normally effected either by : (1) exposing the plant to dew or damp; (2) immersing the plant in gently running streams or rivers, or in the stagnant water of ditches or pools; (3) immersing it in warm water in large tanks; or (4) treating it withsteam or with chemical or microbic agents. Retted flax is then dried in the open air or mechanically.

The fibres occur in the bast of the plant and are separated by a series of operations similar to those applied in the case of flax (see Explanatory Note to heading 53.01). This heading covers : (1) Raw hemp as harvested, whether or not the leaves and seeds have been removed. (2) Retted hemp in which the fibres are still attached to the woody part of the plant, but have been loosened by the retting. (3) Scutched hemp which comprises the isolated fibres, sometimes 2 m or more in length, separated from the plant by scutching. (4) Combed hemp or hemp fibres otherwise prepared for spinning, generally in the form of slivers or rovings. (5) Tow and waste of hemp. This includes waste obtained during scutching or combing processes, waste yarns obtained during spinning, weaving, etc., operations, and garnetted stock obtained from rags, scrap rope or cordage, etc. The tow and waste are classified here whether suitable for spinning into yarns (whether or not in the form of slivers or rovings) or suitable only for use as caulking material, for padding or stuffing, paper-making, etc. Cottonisation (similar to that sometimes applied to flax), ble","5303":"Jute and other textile bast fibres (excluding flax, true hemp and ramie), raw or processed but not spun; tow and waste of these fibres (including yarn waste and garnetted stock). 53.03 - Jute and other textile bast fibres (excluding flax, true hemp and ramie), raw or processed but not spun; tow and waste of these fibres (including yarn waste and garnetted stock). 5303.10 - Jute and other textile bast fibres, raw or retted 5303.90 - Other This heading covers all textile fibres extracted from the stems of dicotyledonous plants, other than flax (heading 53.01), true hemp (heading 53.02) and ramie (heading 53.05).

(B) The tow must be untwisted or be twisted less than 5 turns per metre. (C) Each filament must measure less than 67 decitex. (D) The tow must have been drawn, i.e., it must be incapable of being stretched by more than 100 % of its length. (E) The total measurement of the tow must exceed 20,000 decitex. The requirement under paragraph (D) is designed to ensure that the tow is in a state ready for conversion into staple fibres. After extrusion synthetic filaments are insufficiently oriented and must be drawn in order to effect orientation of their molecules and give them their required properties. Drawn tow still retains a certain elasticity but normally breaks on being stretched by considerably less than 100 % of its length. On the other hand, undrawn tow can be stretched to between three and four times its length before it breaks. Tow of this heading is generally used for the manufacture of yarn of synthetic staple fibres either by being : (1) Cut into staple fibres and then converted into slivers, rovings and yarn by processes generally similar to those used for cotton or wool; or (2) Converted into tops by the \u201ctow-to-top\u201d ","5502":"Artificial filament tow. 55.02 - Artificial filament tow. 5502.10 - Of cellulose acetate 5502.90 - Other With the exception of Note 1 (d) to the Chapter, the Explanatory Note to heading 55.01 applies, mutatis mutandis, to the products of this heading. 5502.10 - Of cellulose acetate 5502.90 - Other","5503":"Synthetic staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning. 55.03 - Synthetic staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning. - Of nylon or other polyamides : 5503.11 - - Of aramids 5503.19 - - Other 5503.20 - Of polyesters 5503.30 - Acrylic or modacrylic 5503.40 - Of polypropylene 5503.90 - Other The fibres of this heading are manufactured as described in the General Explanatory Note to this Chapter.

In carding, staple and waste fibres are passed through machines which render the fibres more or less parallel, and deliver them in the form of a wide web or lap which is then generally condensed into a sliver (a strand of fibres loosely combined without twist). In combing, the carded sliver is passed through further machines which render the fibres almost perfectly parallel and, in the case of waste, remove the shorter fibres (noils). The combed sliver is usually wound in coils or balls, known as \u201ctops\u201d. Tops are also made directly from filament tow by what are known as \u201ctow-to-top\u201d processes. The tow is passed through a device which breaks or cuts the filaments without disturbing their continuity or their parallel arrangement. The operation may be carried out, for example, by passing the tow through rollers operating at different speeds thus causing a tension which breaks the filaments; or toothed rollers may break the filaments by direct pressure; or the tow may be cut diagonally with knife mechanisms. During passage through the machine the tow is drawn out into slivers.

Web formation Four basic methods exist : (a) by carding or air-laying fibres in order to form a sheet. These fibres may be parallel, cross or random oriented (dry-laid process); (b) by extruding filaments which are directionally oriented, cooled and laid down directly into a web or which are coagulated, washed and laid down directly into a web in a wet form of the process (spun laid process); (c) by suspending and dispersing fibres in water, depositing the resultant slurry onto a wire screen and forming a web by removal of the water (wet-laid process); (d) by various specia","5604":"Rubber thread and cord, textile covered; textile yarn, and strip and the like of heading 54.04 or 54.05, impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber or plastics. 56.04 - Rubber thread and cord, textile covered; textile yarn, and strip and the like of heading 54.04 or 54.05, impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber or plastics. 5604.10 - Rubber thread and cord, textile covered 5604.90 - Other (A) RUBBER THREAD AND CORD, TEXTILE COVERED Provided they are covered with textiles (e.g., by gimping or plaiting), this group includes, thread (single strand) of rubber, of any cross-section, and cord (multiple strand) of rubber, made of these threads.

The core of the gimped yarn of this heading is usually of cotton, other vegetable fibres or man-made fibres and the covering threads are usually finer and more glossy (e.g., silk, mercerised cotton or man-made fibres). Gimped yarns with cores of other materials are not necessarily excluded provided the product has the essential character of a textile article.

Fig. 1 (2) Senna or Persian knot : the pile thread is twisted round one warp thread and then passed under a following warp thread (see Figure 2), the two ends standing up to form the surface of the carpet. Fig. 2 In the Ghiordes and Senna knots the pile threads may also cover four warp threads. (3) Single warp knots in which each pile thread is twisted or knotted on to one warp thread; each pile thread makes one and a half turns round a warp thread (see Figure 3), the two ends standing up to form the surface of the carpet.

This heading covers carpets and textile floor coverings, other than those covered by a more specific heading of this Chapter. The heading includes : (1) Bonded pile carpets, where the pile use surface is bonded either to a substrate or directly to an adhesive which forms the substrate. The bonding may be achieved by adhesion or heat or a combination of both or by ultrasonic welding. The pile can be bonded either to a single backing surface or between two backing surfaces, in the latter case for separation into two carpets. (2) Nonwoven carpets, consisting of a layer of carded textile fibres crimped between grooved rollers to form loops, which may either be held in position by a thick coating of rubber, plastics, etc., which also serves as a backing, or be bonded to a backing fabric by similar adhesives. (3) Carpets made by \u201cflocking\u201d, i.e., by implanting textile fibres upright in a textile backing, coated with rubber, plastics, etc. (4) Knitted carpets and carpeting.

This pile consists of either tufts or loops over the whole or part of the surface; it is generally on one side only, but sometimes on both. Warp pile fabrics (velvets, plushes, moquettes, etc.) may be produced by raising the pile warp over wires inserted in the direction of the weft. The loops thus formed are cut either during the weaving or subsequently, or occasionally left uncut for looped or uncut pile fabrics. The loops or tufts of cut pile are held in place by the weft threads. Warp pile fabrics are also produced by weaving two fabrics face to face with a common pile warp; the two fabrics are then separated by cutting to produce two fabrics with a cut pile. Cut weft pile fabrics (velveteens, corduroys, etc.) have a pile usually produced by weft threads which alte","5802":"Terry towelling and similar woven terry fabrics, other than narrow fabrics of heading 58.06; tufted textile fabrics, other than products of heading 57.03. 58.02 - Terry towelling and similar woven terry fabrics, other than narrow fabrics of heading 58.06; tufted textile fabrics, other than products of heading 57.03. 5802.10 - Terry towelling and similar woven terry fabrics, of cotton 5802.20 - Terry towelling and similar woven terry fabrics, of other textile materials 5802.30 - Tufted textile fabrics (A) TERRY TOWELLING AND SIMILAR WOVEN TERRY FABRICS These fabrics are those looped pile fabrics such as are used for towelling, bathrobes, beachrobes, leisure robes, toilet gloves, etc. They have a tight weft and two series of warp threads, one tight and one slack, the latter forming loops on the surface of the fabric. The proportion of the two kinds of warp threads in the fabric may differ, but usually there are the same number of ground warp threads as of pile warp threads. The loops often appear twisted and are generally produced on both sides of the cloth, but sometimes on one only; they may sometimes be cut. The loops may cover the entire surface uniformly or form stripes, checks, diamonds or more complicated patterns. However this heading does not cover fabrics having pile on one side only, all of the loops of which are cut (heading 58.01).

Gauze (sometimes known as leno weave) is defined in Note 3 to this Chapter. In plain gauze the crossing threads run alternately to the right and left of each standing thread passing over the weft every time but crossing under the standing threads; the standing warp threads are always on one side of the weft, and the standing warp and the weft are not interlaced but are held together by the crossing warp. Variations can be obtained by the crossing threads crossing with each other (so-called crocheted gauze, Marly gauze), by inserting two or more weft threads together through the loops formed by the standing and crossing threads, by using two or more standing threads per crossing thread and vice versa, etc. This heading also includes : (1) Broch\u00e9 gauze, manufactured with an extra thread (broch\u00e9 thread) introduced during the weaving process to give the effect of designs on a gauze background. (2) Fabrics comprising parts of gauze and parts woven by any other weave whatever their relative proportions. These usually have the effect of stripes running warpwise, checks or other varied designs. Gauze is usually loosely woven and therefore lightweight; it is chiefly used for curtaining; certain varieties are manufactured into chenille yarn by cutting into narrow strips in the direction of the warp. The different types of gauze vary greatly in appearance, and the designs produced during the weaving process are also very varied, and they should not be confused with the broch\u00e9 ","5804":"Tulles and other net fabrics, not including woven, knitted or crocheted fabrics; lace in the piece, in strips or in motifs, other than fabrics of headings 60.02 to 60.06. 58.04 - Tulles and other net fabrics, not including woven, knitted or crocheted fabrics; lace in the piece, in strips or in motifs, other than fabrics of headings 60.02 to 60.06 (+). 5804.10 - Tulles and other net fabrics - Mechanically made lace : 5804.21 - - Of man-made fibres 5804.29 - - Of other textile materials 5804.30 - Hand-made lace (I) TULLES AND OTHER NET FABRICS These products are used for making curtains, bedspreads or similar household furnishings, veils, ladies\u2019 garments, in embroidery, etc. They are generally of silk, man-made fibres, cotton or linen. (A) Tulle and other bobbin-net fabrics consist of warp threads with weft threads which twist round each warp thread and run diagonally from selvedge to selvedge, half the weft being inclined in one direction and the other half inclined in the other direction (see Figure 1). These wefts form an open mesh with the warp; the meshes may be in regular hexagonal form, square, or diamond-shaped (Neuville net). Another variety of tulle in hexagonal form (Mechlin net) consists of warp threads and a system of bobbin threads which pass longitudinally between two warp threads only (see Figure 2).

This heading covers tapestries either woven by hand or needle-worked on a ground fabric (usually canvas). Their essential characteristic is that they are made in the form of panels bearing a complete, individual design, frequently of a pictorial character. (A) HAND-WOVEN TAPESTRIES Hand-woven tapestries are produced by stretching warp threads on a weaving loom and interlacing weft threads of different colours which cover the warp, produce the designs and also form the woven fabric. Contrary to the procedure used for ordinary warp and weft fabrics the different coloured weft threads are no longer than are needed to produce the design, so that in general these weft threads do not cross the whole width of the fabric; thus along each line of weft the warp threads are covered by a succession of different coloured weft threads, the loose ends of the weft threads appearing on the reverse of the design. Unwoven gaps left in the warp through this method of weaving are usually reinforced by sewing. Such tapestries include the types Gobelins, Flanders, Aubusson or Beauvais.

This heading covers woven fabrics (as defined in Part (I) (C) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI) of the metallised yarns of heading 56.05, and also woven fabrics of the metal threads of Section XIV or XV, provided they are fabrics of a kind used for clothing, furnishing or similar purposes, and are not specified or included elsewhere, in particular in any of the preceding headings of this Chapter. Fabrics containing metal thread or metallised yarns together with other textile yarns are classified here provided the metal thread or metallised yarn exceeds the weight of any other textile. For this purpose the metallised yarn is taken as a single textile material and its weight taken as the aggregate of the weight of the textile fibres and metal it contains (see Part (I) (A) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI).

The embroidery threads are usually of textiles, but the heading also includes those executed with other materials (for example, metal, glass or raffia). The ground fabric usually forms part of the completed embroidery, but in certain cases it is removed (e.g., chemically or by cutting) after being embroidered and only the design remains. Certain embroidery is not made with embroidery threads but with strips or braids. Thus the manufacture starting with a pre-existing ground fabric distinguishes embroidery from lace, and lace should not be confused with embroidery from which the ground fabric has been eliminated after execution. Neither should embroidery be confused with woven fabrics bearing designs produced by broch\u00e9 threads during the weaving process (plumetis and other broch\u00e9 work). Features distinguishing embroidery from these other products will be found later in this Explanatory Note. Embroidery may be hand or machine made. Hand-made embroidery is of comparatively small dimensions. Machine-made embroidery, on the other hand, is very often in long lengths.

It may be plain or patterned; in the latter case the patterns may be obtained by printing or, in the case of inlaid linoleums, by the use of different coloured pastes. When the paste is made with ground cork but without pigment, the resulting material may be known as cork carpet. This material should not be confused with the textile-backed carpeting or other articles of agglomerated cork of heading 45.04 which are not made with the linoleum mixture referred to above and are generally rougher and less pliable.

The following methods of production are those mainly used : (1) a circular knitting machine produces a knitted fabric in which, by means of an additional yarn, protruding loops are formed; afterwards the loops are cut to form pile and thus give a velvet-like surface; (2) a special warp knitting machine knits two fabrics face to face with a common pile yarn; the two fabrics are then separated by cutting to produce two knitted fabrics with a cut pile; (3) textile fibres from a carded sliver are inserted into the loops of a knitted ground fabric as it is formed (\u201clong pile\u201d fabrics); (4) textile yarn to form loops (\u201cimitation terry fabrics\u201d) (see General Explanatory Note). Such fabrics have rows of chain stitches on the back of the fabric and they differ from the pile fabrics of heading 58.02, which are characterised by rows of stitches having the appearance of running stitches along the length of the back of the fabric.

It is usually made from wood chips or particles obtained by the mechanical reduction of roundwood or wood residues. It may also be produced from other ligneous materials such as fragments obtained from bagasse, bamboo, cereal straw or from flax or hemp shives. Particle board is normally agglomerated by means of an added organic binder, usually a thermosetting resin, which generally does not exceed 15 % of the weight of the board. The chips, particles or other fragments constituting the particle boards of this heading are usually recognisable at the edges of the board with the naked eye.

The fibres making up the board are recognisable under microscopic examination. They are bonded together in the board by felting and by their own adhesive properties, generally deriving from their lignin content. Additional resins or other organic bonding substances may be used to agglomerate the fibres. Impregnating or other agents may also be added during or after manufacture of the board to give an extra property, e.g., impermeability to water or resistance to rot, insect attack, fire or the spread of flame.

Densified wood covered by this heading has been chemically or physically treated to increase its density or hardness and improve its mechanical strength or resistance to chemical or electrical agencies. Such wood may be solid or consist of several layers bonded together, in the latter case the treatment applied being in excess of that required merely to produce a good bond between the layers. Two main processes, impregnation and densification, are used to produce the products of this heading. These processes may be used separately or together. In impregnation the wood is deeply impregnated, usually with thermosetting plastics or with molten metal. Impregnation with thermosetting plastics (e.g., amino-resins or phenolic resins) is more often applied to very thin veneers built up into laminated wood than to solid wood, since penetration is thereby facilitated. Metallised wood is obtained by plunging pieces of solid wood, previously heated, into a bath of molten metal (e.g., tin, antimony, lead, bismuth or their alloys) under pressure in a closed vessel. The density of metallised wood generally exceeds 3.5 g/cm 3. Densification has the effect of contracting the cells of the wood; this may be done by transverse compression by means of powerful hydraulic presses or between rollers, or by compression in all directions at high temperature in an autoclave. Densified wood may have a density as great as 1.4 g/cm 3.

In this latter case the natural gum in the cork acts as a binder. Agglomerated cork of this heading may be impregnated (e.g., with oil), or reinforced by backing with paper or cloth provided it does not have the character of linoleum or similar materials classified in heading 59.04. Agglomerated cork retains most of the properties of natural cork, and in particular is an excellent heat- or sound-insulating material. In many cases, however, the addition of the binders required for the agglomeration modifies some of the characteristic features of the cork, in particular the specific gravity and the tensile or crushing strengths.

Mechanical wood pulp is obtained solely by a mechanical process i.e., by disintegrating or grinding wood, freed of its bark and sometimes of its knots, into its fibres by mechanical milling under a flow of water. Milling without prior steam treating produces the so-called \u201cwhite\u201d mechanical wood pulp in which the fibres are broken and weakened. The wood may be steam treated before grinding, producing stronger fibres of brown colour (brown mechanical wood pulp). Further development from the traditional grinding methods is the pulp referred to as refiner mechanical pulp where wood chips are shredded in a disc refiner by passing the chips between two closely spaced ridged plates, one or both of which may be rotating. One of the superior grades of this type of pulp is produced by refining wood chips after they have received preliminary heat treatment to soften them and allow an easier separation of the fibres with less fibre damage. The resultant pulp quality is superior to the traditional mechanical wood pulp. Thus the main types of mechanical wood pulp are : Stone groundwood (SGW) produced from roundwood or blocks in stone grinders at atmospheric pressure. Pressurised stone groundwood (PGW) produced from roundwood or blocks in pressurised stone grinders. Refiner mechanical pulp (RMP) produced from wood chips or wafers in refiners discharging at atmospheric pressure. Thermo-mechanical pulp (TMP) produced from wood chips or wafers in refiners after high-pressure steaming of the wood. It should be noted that some pulps produced","4702":"Chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades. 47.02 - Chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades. This heading covers chemical wood pulp of dissolving grades only, as defined in Note 1 to this Chapter. This pulp is specially refined or purified to meet the requirements of its intended use. It is used for making regenerated cellulose, cellulose ethers and esters and products of these materials, such as plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, textile fibres and certain papers (e.g., paper of a kind used as a base for photosensitive paper, filter paper and vegetable parchment). According to the final use or to the end product, it is also called viscose pulp, acetate pulp, etc. Chemical wood pulp is obtained by first reducing the wood to chips or particles which are then treated with chemicals. As a result of the treatment the greater part of the lignin and other non-cellulosic materials is removed. The chemicals usually employed are sodium hydroxide (\u201csoda\u201d process), a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulphate, which is converted partly into sodium sulphide (\u201csulphate\u201d process), calcium bisulphite or magnesium bisulphite, also known as calcium hydrogen sulphite or magnesium hydrogen sulphite respectively (\u201csulphite\u201d process). The product obtained is superior in fibre length and richer in cellulose than mechanical pulp made from the same raw material. The manufacture of chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades, is achieved through extensive chemical and physiochemical reactions. In addition to whitening, its manufacture may require chemical purification, deresination, depolymerisation, as","4703":"Chemical wood pulp, soda or sulphate, other than dissolving grades. 47.03 - Chemical wood pulp, soda or sulphate, other than dissolving grades. - Unbleached : 4703.11 - - Coniferous 4703.19 - - Non-coniferous - Semi-bleached or bleached : 4703.21 - - Coniferous 4703.29 - - Non-Coniferous Soda or sulphate pulps are produced by boiling the wood, usually in chipped form, in strongly alkaline solutions. For soda pulp the cooking liquor is a solution of sodium hydroxide; for sulphate pulp a modified sodium hydroxide solution is employed. The term \u201csulphate\u201d came to be applied because sodium sulphate, part of which is converted into sodium sulphide, is used at a stage in the preparation of the cooking liquor. Sulphate pulp is by far the more important.

This heading covers wood pulp manufactured by a combination of mechanical and chemical pulping processes. Such pulp is variously described as semi-chemical pulp, chemi-mechanical pulp, etc. Semi-chemical pulp is produced in a two-part process in which the wood, generally in chips, is first chemically softened in digesters and then mechanically refined. It contains a great deal of impurities and ligneous matter and is used mainly for medium-quality papers. It is generally known as neutral sulphite semi-chemical (NSSC), bisulphite semi-chemical or kraft semi-chemical. Chemi-mechanical pulp is produced in refiners from wood in chips, shavings, sawdust or similar forms. The wood is reduced to a fibrous state by the abrasive action induced by two closely spaced ridged plates or discs, one or both of which are rotating. Small amounts of chemicals are introduced as a pre-treatment or during refining in order to facilitate fibre separation. The wood may be subjected to steaming for different periods of time at different pressures and temperatures. Depending on the combination of processes employed in its manufacture, and the order in which the processes are carried out, chemi-mechanical pulp is also known as chemi-thermomechanical pulp (CTMP), chemi-refiner mechanical pulp (CRMP) or thermo chemi-mechanical pulp (TCMP).

Parts of footwear may vary in shape according to the types or styles of footwear for which they are intended. They include : (1) Parts of uppers (e.g., vamps, toecaps, quarters, legs, linings and clog straps), including pieces of leather for making footwear cut to the approximate shape of uppers. (2) Stiffeners. These may be inserted between the quarters and lining, or between the toecap and lining, to give firmness and solidity at these parts of the footwear.

(A) Hat-forms, hat bodies and hoods of felt, neither blocked to shape nor with made brims. Fur-felt hat-forms, hat bodies and hoods are usually made from the fur of the rabbit, hare, muskrat, nutria or beaver; wool-felt hat-forms, etc., are usually of wool or the hair of the vicuna, camel (including dromedary), etc. In some cases felts are made of mixtures of these materials, sometimes mixed with man-made fibres. After suitable processing the fur is applied evenly to a cone-shaped former by suction and, in the case of wool, by entwining the carded fibres on a double cone. (This latter form when cut in two at the widest part provides two cone-shaped hat-forms.) After spraying with hot water or steam, the shaped forms are removed from the cones. These forms, which are still in a loosely-felted state (not normally found in international trade), undergo a series of hardening and shrinking processes to produce fully-felted, approximately cone-shaped hat bodies. The heading also covers hat bodies which have been tip-stretched to form rounded crowns, sometimes with parallel sides but more usually with sloping sides and an incipient brim. These latter may be distinguished from blocked hoods because, when placed upright on a flat surface, the brim does not project from the crown at approxim","6502":"Hat-shapes, plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, neither blocked to shape, nor with made brims, nor lined, nor trimmed. 65.02 - Hat-shapes, plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, neither blocked to shape, nor with made brims, nor lined, nor trimmed. This heading covers hat-shapes, neither blocked to shape nor with made brims, nor lined, nor trimmed, made either : (1) Directly by plaiting from fibres or strips of any material (particularly straw, reeds, palm fibres, raffia, sisal, strips of paper, strips of plastics or strips of wood). These materials may be plaited by various methods including \u201cplaiting\u201d by arranging one set of fibres or strips so that they radiate from the centre of the crown and interlacing them with other fibres or strips wound spirally. Additional radial fibres or strips are introduced in the \u201cplaiting\u201d as the distance from the centre increases. or (2) Subject to Note 2 to this Chapter, by assembling strips (usually not more than 5 cm in width) of any material (e.g., plaited or other strips of felt or other textile fabric, monofilament or plastics), usually by sewing the strips spirally together, starting from the crown, in such a manner that each spiral overlaps the previous one, or by arranging plaits spirally so that the serrated edges intermesh and assembling them by threading. Because of the method of plaiting or assembling the strips, the hat-shapes of this heading, unlike the articles of heading 65.01, frequently have a distinct line of demarcation between the crown and the brim which may sometimes be at approximat","6504":"Hats and other headgear, plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed. 65.04 - Hats and other headgear, plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed. This heading covers essentially hats and other headgear made from the hat-shapes of heading 65.02 after they have been blocked to shape, have had their brim made or have been lined or trimmed. The hat-shapes are blocked by pressing or ironing on a matrice, usually after having been stiffened by application of gelatin, size, gum, etc. In the process of blocking, the crown opening is given an oval shape of the required size and at the same time the brim becomes more clearly defined. After blocking, the brim is fashioned to the required shape. Hat-shapes which have been blocked should not be confused with shapes which have not been blocked (heading 65.02), notwithstanding that these latter are sometimes worn as such untrimmed (e.g., for beach or country wear). After blocking and, where applicable, brim-shaping, hats and headgear may be subjected to further finishing operations (e.g., fitted with linings, head-bands, hat-bands, chinstraps, decorative accessories such as artificial flowers, fruit or foliage, pins and feathers). In addition to the articles described above, the heading also covers : (1) Hats and other headgear, in a variety of forms, made by milliners from the hat-shapes of heading 65.02, neither blocked nor with made brims.

Since they are obtained with a die-punch, their edges are clean cut. Natural mica is often used as such in the form of sheets or splittings. However, since the small size of the crystals and their poor flexibility, high cost, etc., render natural mica unsuitable for many uses, it is frequently replaced by agglomerated (built-up) mica (e.g., micanite, micafolium), which is obtained by bonding mica splittings one above the other or side by side using shellac, natural resins, plastics, asphalt, etc. Agglomerated mica is made in sheet, plate or strip form, in all thicknesses, often with a fairly large surface area; the sheets, etc., are generally backed on one or (usually) both surfaces with textile fabric, glass fibre fabric, paper or asbesto","6815":"Articles of stone or of other mineral substances (including carbon fibres, articles of carbon fibres and articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or included. 68.15 - Articles of stone or of other mineral substances (including carbon fibres, articles of carbon fibres and articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or included. - Carbon fibres; articles of carbon fibres for non-electrical uses; other articles of graphite or other carbon for non-electrical uses : 6815.11 - - Carbon fibres 6815.12 - - Fabrics of carbon fibres 6815.13 - - Other articles of carbon fibres 6815.19 - - Other 6815.20 - Articles of peat - Other articles : 6815.91 - - Containing magnesite, magnesia in the form of periclase, dolomite including in the form of dolime, or chromite 6815.99 - - Other This heading covers articles of stone or of other mineral substances, not covered by the earlier headings of this Chapter and not included elsewhere in the Nomenclature; it therefore excludes, for example, ceramic products of Chapter 69.

These materials are usually mixed with binders (such as clay or magnesia) and sometimes with other substances (e.g., asbestos, hair, sawdust, coal dust). These articles are usually very light weight, and their porous structure makes them excellent heatinsulators for use in building, for the lagging of gas and steam piping. Some of these goods are also used as refractory products in the construction of ovens, industrial furnaces, steam generating boilers or other industrial plant and for other applications where lightness of the material, low thermal conductivity, as well as heat resistance, are desired.

Sub-chapter II OTHER CERAMIC PRODUCTS GENERAL This sub-Chapter covers ceramic articles other than those of siliceous fossil meals or of similar siliceous earths and refractory goods of sub-Chapter I. For the purpose of the Nomenclature, these articles are classified according to kind (bricks, tiles, sanitary ware, etc.), and classification is not affected by the nature of the ceramics used in their manufacture, except in the case of tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, classified in heading 69.11 when of porcelain or china and in heading 69.12 if of other kinds of ceramics. (I) PORCELAIN OR CHINA Porcelain or china means hard porcelain, soft porcelain, biscuit porcelain (including parian) and bone china. All these ceramics are almost completely vitrified, hard, and are essentially impermeable (even if they are not glazed). They are white or artificially coloured, translucent (except when of considerable thickness), and resonant. Hard porcelain is made from a body composed of kaolin (or kaolinic clays), quartz, feldspar (or feldspatho\u00efds), and sometimes calcium carbonate. It is covered with a colourless transparent glaze fired at the same time as the body and thus fused together. Soft porcelain contains less alumina but more silica and fluxes (e.g., feldspar). Bone china, which contains less alumina, contains calcium phosphate (e.g., in the form of bone ash); a translucent body is thus obtained at a lower firing temperature than with hard porcelain. The glaze is n","6905":"Roofing tiles, chimney-pots, cowls, chimney liners, architectural ornaments and other ceramic constructional goods. 69.05 - Roofing tiles, chimney-pots, cowls, chimney liners, architectural ornaments and other ceramic constructional goods. 6905.10 - Roofing tiles 6905.90 - Other This heading covers a range of non-refractory goods, usually of common pottery but sometimes more or less vitrified, which, like bricks, are used in constructional or building work. It includes : (1) Roofing tiles (for roofs, for topping walls, etc.). These are usually provided with nibs, holed for nailing, or may be moulded to interlock, and in this respect differ from the tiles of heading 69.07. They may be flat, half cylinders or of special shapes for eaves, ridges, hips or valleys, etc. (2) Chimney-pots, cowls, chimney liners, flue-blocks, etc. (3) Architectural ornaments for use on buildings, walls, gates, etc. (e.g., cornices and friezes); gargoyles; pediments, rosettes, balustrades, corbels, capitals; gable-end, eave, ridging and roof ornaments, etc. (4) Other ceramic constructional goods, e.g., ventilator grills; clay-lath used as support for plasterwork and formed of wire mesh with fired clay crosses or plates at the intersections, the fired clay forming the major constituent.

This heading covers : (A) Waste and scrap of glass of all kinds arising from the manufacture of glass (including glass waste splashed outside the melting pots and subsequently recovered); also broken articles. Waste glass is generally characterised by its sharp edges. (B) Glass (including \u201cenamel\u201d glass), in the mass (i.e., in more or less regular blocks), with no particular intended use. \u201cEnamel\u201d glass is of greater fusibility and higher density than most ordinary varieties of glass. It is usually opaque though occasionally transparent; it may be colourless or of various colours. It falls in this heading when in the mass (in lumps or slabs). It is used for colouring or opacifying other glass, for lampworking into ornaments, etc., and for enamelling pottery, etc. The heading also includes vitrite in the mass, a type of glass with a low melting point, used for insulating the contact terminals at the base of electric light bulbs. It has a high manganese dioxide content which gives it a blackish colour so that the inner fittings of the base are concealed. Glass (including vitrite and \u201cenamel\u201d glass) in the form of powder, granules or flakes is excluded (heading 32.07). 7001.00 Cullet and other waste and scrap of glass, excluding glass from cathode-ray tubes or other activated glass of h","7002":"Glass in balls (other than microspheres of heading 70.18), rods or tubes, unworked.

(2) Glass rods and tubing of various diameters, which are generally obtained by drawing (combined with blowing in the case of tubing); they may be used for many purposes (e.g., for chemical or industrial apparatus; in the textile industry; for further manufacture into thermometers, ampoules, electric or electronic bulbs and valves, or ornaments). Certain tubes for fluorescent lighting (used mainly for advertising purposes) are drawn with partitions running through the length. This group includes \u201cenamel\u201d glass, in bars, rods or tubes (\u201cenamel\u201d glass is defined in the Explanatory Note to heading 70.01). Balls of this heading must be unworked; similarly rod and tubing must be unworked (i.e., as obtained direct from the drawing process or merely cut into lengths the ends of which may have been simply smoothed).

It includes : (A) Unworked plate glass. This is generally non-transparent on account of its grained or rough surfaces. It may also be artificially coloured in the mass by means of metallic oxides or other salts. Surface ground or polished plate glass is excluded (heading 70.05). (B) A category of non-transparent glass which is more or less opacified in the mass and sometimes completely opaque. It is often made to resemble marble, porcelain (china) or alabaster in appearance. This type of glass is made in white, black and other colours, plain or veined, and is used for facing walls, for the manufacture of tops for washstands, counters, desks, tables, operating tables, etc., of tablets for gravestones, of advertising boards, signs, etc. This type of glass may be intended for subsequent mechanical polishing on one","7004":"Drawn glass and blown glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or nonreflecting layer, but not otherwise worked. 70.04 - Drawn glass and blown glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked. 7004.20 - Glass, coloured throughout the mass (body tinted), opacified, flashed or having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer 7004.90 - Other glass This heading is restricted to drawn glass and blown glass which must be unworked and in sheets (whether or not cut to shape). The non-mechanical blowing process, now more or less completely discarded (except for certain special types of glass), has been replaced by various mechanical processes consisting essentially of drawing (e.g., the Fourcault, Libbey-Owens or Pittsburgh processes) or of drawing combined with blowing. The glass of this heading may be of various thicknesses but, in general, is less thick than cast glass of heading 70.03. It may be coloured or opacified in the mass, or flashed with glass of another colour during manufacture or may be coated with an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer. Drawn glass and blown glass are frequently used in the form in which they are originally produced, without any further working. In addition to their main use as glass for windows, doors, display cases, greenhouses, clocks, pictures, etc., these types of glass are also used as parts of articles of furniture, for photographic plates, plain spectacle glass, etc. The heading excludes drawn glass and blown glass which have been surfac","7005":"Float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked. 70.05 - Float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked. 7005.10 - Non-wired glass, having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer - Other non-wired glass : 7005.21 - - Coloured throughout the mass (body tinted), opacified, flashed or merely surface ground 7005.29 - - Other 7005.30 - Wired glass This heading covers float glass in sheets. Its raw materials are melted in a furnace. The molten glass leaves the furnace and is fed on to a float bath of molten metal. On the float bath, the glass acquires the flatness of a liquid pool and later retains the smooth finish of liquid surfaces. Before it reaches the end of the bath, it is cooled to a temperature at which it is hard enough to be passed over rollers without being marked or distorted. From the float bath the glass moves through an annealing lehr, at the end of which it is cooled and can be cut. This glass is not surface ground or polished : it is perfectly flat as a result of the manufacturing process. The heading also covers the types of glass of headings 70.03 and 70.04, which have been surface ground or polished (usually the two processes are combined). In the surface grinding process the glass is subjected to the action of rotating iron-shod discs which, in conjunction with a flow of water containing abrasives, wears the glass surface down to sm","7006":"Glass of heading 70.03, 70.04 or 70.05, bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled, enamelled or otherwise worked, but not framed or fitted with other materials. 70.06 - Glass of heading 70.03, 70.04 or 70.05, bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled, enamelled or otherwise worked, but not framed or fitted with other materials.

The heading does not, however, include safety glass (heading 70.07), multiple-walled insulating units of glass (heading 70.08) or glass in the form of mirrors (heading 70.09). The heading includes : (A) Bent or curved glass such as the special glass (e.g., for display windows) which is obtained by hot-bending or hot-curving (in a suitable furnace and over moulds) flat glass sheets, with the exception, however, of the bent or curved glass of heading 70.15. (B) Glass with worked edges (ground, polished, rounded, notched, chamfered, bevelled, profiled, etc.), thus acquiring the character of articles such as slabs for table-tops, for balances or other weighing machinery, for observation slits and the like, for signs of various kinds, fingerplates, glasses for photograph frames, etc., window panes, glass fronts for furniture, etc. (C) Glass perforated or fluted as a subsequent operation, etc. (D) Glass which has been surface worked after manufacture, for example, glass subjected to obscuring processes (sand-blasted glass, or glass rendered dull by treatment with emery or acid); frosted glass; glass engraved or etche","7007":"Safety glass, consisting of toughened (tempered) or laminated glass. 70.07 - Safety glass, consisting of toughened (tempered) or laminated glass. - Toughened (tempered) safety glass : 7007.11 - - Of size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels 7007.19 - - Other - Laminated safety glass : 7007.21 - - Of size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels 7007.29 - - Other The term \u201csafety glass\u201d covers only the types of glass described below and does not refer to protective glass such as ordinary wired glass and selective absorption glasses (e.g., anti-glare glass, X-ray protective glass). (A) Toughened (tempered) glass. This is : (1) Glass obtained by reheating pieces of glass until they are soft but not soft enough to lose their shape. The glass is then cooled rapidly by appropriate processes (thermal-toughened glass). (2) Glass whose strength, durability and flexibility have been substantially increased by a complex physical-chemical treatment (e.g., ion-exchange) which may include a modification of the surface structure (commonly known as \u201cchemically toughened glass\u201d). This glass cannot be worked after manufacture because of the internal stresses set up by the processing and is therefore always produced in the shapes and sizes required before tempering. (B) Laminated glass. Safety glass of this type, commonly known as laminated glass, sandwich glass, etc., is made in sandwich form, with one or more interlayers of plastics between two or more sheets of glass. The plastics core usually consists of","7008":"Multiple-walled insulating units of glass. 70.08 - Multiple-walled insulating units of glass. This heading covers multiple-walled insulating units of glass, the most common type of which consists of two or more panels of glass (sheet, plate, float or even such types as hammered or cathedral) separated by a layer of dry air or inert gas, sometimes divided internally into compartments. These sheets are sealed around the edges by a metal, plastic or other joint which makes a completely airtight unit. Another type of multiple-walled insulating glass consists of a sandwich of two sheets of glass with an interlayer of glass fibre.

In the silvering method a dilute ammoniacal solution of silver nitrate (mixed with a reducing solution based on potassium sodium tartrate or invert sugar) is used. These products are poured on to the surface of the glass after it has been scrupulously cleaned. The reduction of the silver salts forms a lasting and brilliant deposit of metallic silver. In the platinum deposition process, a compound of platinum chloride is brushed on to the glass, which is then heated almost to softening point. This gives a very adherent coating of metal. The metal coating (particularly if it is of silver) is given protective coatings, sometimes consisting of one or more coatings of varnish or an electrolytic deposit of copper, itself protected by a coating of varnish. This heading covers mirrors in sheets, whether or not further worked. It also includes shaped mirrors of any size, for example, mirrors for furniture, for interior decoration, for railway carriages, etc.; toilet mirrors (including hand or hanging mirrors); pocket mirrors (whether or not in a protective case).

Pearls have a shiny surface and consist essentially of layers of calcium carbonate coated with a horny material (conchiolin). The layers of carbonate cause optical interference and diffraction which produce the characteristic nacreous lustre of pearls (\u201corient\u201d); the conchiolin gives the pearls their translucency or \u201cwater\u201d. Pearls are usually white but may be shaded or coloured (e.g., grey, black, purple, red, yellow, green or blue). They are usually round, but sometimes half round (button pearls) or irregular (baroque or blister pearls), and their size varies considerably. Mother of pearl (headings 05.08 or 96.01) has much the same composition, but usually takes the form of thin sheets.

The most important of these powders are derived from diamonds and garnets. Natural diamond dust and powder are obtained mainly by crushing \u201cbort\u201d (industrial grade diamond grains). Synthetic diamond dust and powder are produced by direct conversion, generally of graphite, at high temperatures and pressures. These dusts and powders differ from the diamonds of headings 71.02 and 71.04 in that, for practical purposes, they are too small to be mounted individually. They are normally used for abrasive purposes. Their particle size generally does not exceed 1,000 micrometers (microns) but sizing is effected by sieving rather than by measuring individual particles. There can be a considerable degree of overlap between the size of dust and powder particles and that of stones, but whereas stones are counted individually to determine quantity, dust and powder are weighed. Diamond dust and powder are used for the manufacture of grinding, polishing or honing wheels, cutters, polishing pastes, etc. Garnet powder is used mainly for the grinding of optical lenses or as an abrasive on a base of paper or other material.

The heading covers blooms, billets, rounds, slabs, sheet bars, pieces roughly shaped by forging, blanks for angles, shapes or sections, and all products obtained by continuous casting. (A) BLOOMS, BILLETS, ROUNDS, SLABS AND SHEET BARS All these products are obtained by hot-rolling or forging the ingots, puddled bars or pilings classified in heading 72.06. They are semi-finished products intended for further hot-rolling or forging. They are therefore not required to be made exactly to size; the edges are not accurate and the surfaces are often convex or concave and may retain marks caused during the manufacturing processes (e.g., roller marks). Blooms are usually square in cross-section and are larger than billets; the latter may be either square or rectangular. Both are used for re-rolling to bars, rods, angles, shapes and sections, or for the manufacture of forgings.

(A) Copper mattes. This is obtained by the fusion of roasted copper sulphide ores to separate the copper sulphide from the gangue and the other metals which form a slag that floats on the surface of the matte. The matte consists essentially of copper and iron sulphides and is generally in the form of black or brown granules (obtained by pouring the molten matte into water) or a crude mass, with a dull, metallic appearance. (B) Cement copper (precipitated copper). Cement copper (precipitated copper) is a product obtained by precipitation (cementation), i.e., by adding iron to the aqueous solution resulting from the leaching of certain roasted ores or residues. It is a finely divided black powder containing oxides and insoluble impurities. It is sometimes used in anti-fouling paints and agricultural fungicides but is more often added to the charge which goes to a melting furnace to produce copper matte. Cement copper must not be confused with the copper powder of heading 74.06, which does not contain impurities. 7401.00 Copper mattes; cement copper (precipitated copper).","7402":"Unrefined copper; copper anodes for electrolytic refining. 74.02 - Unrefined copper; copper anodes for electrolytic refining.

The copper content varies widely, usually in the range of approximately 60 to 85 % by weight. (2) Blister copper. It consists of an impure form of copper produced by blowing air through molten copper matte. During the conversion process, sulphur, iron and other impurities are oxidised. The copper content is normally about 98 % by weight. (3) Copper anodes for electrolytic refining. Copper partially refined by complete fusion is cast into anodes for further refining by electrolysis. These anodes are usually in the form of slabs cast with two lugs for suspending them in the electrolytic refining tank.

Refined copper containing at least 99.85 % by weight of copper is obtained by electrolytic refining, electrolytic extraction, chemical refining or fire refining. Other refined copper (containing at least 97.5 % by weight of copper) is normally produced by alloying the above-mentioned refined copper with one or more other elements up to the maximum content limits as shown in the table in Chapter Note 1 (a). Refined copper is cast into ingots or ingot-bars for remelting (e.g., for alloying purposes) or into wire-bars, slabs for rolling, billets (including those of circular cross-section) and similar forms for rolling, extruding, drawing or forging into plates, sheets, strip, wire, tubes and other products. Electrolytically refined copper is sometimes presented in the form of cathodes consisting of plates or sheets with two loops attached by which the original starting sheets were suspended in the electrolytic refining tank, or with the loops cut off, or cut into sections.

This heading does not cover ingots, or similar unwrought forms cast from remelted copper waste and scrap (heading 74.03). 7404.00 Copper waste and scrap.","7405":"Master alloys of copper. 74.05 - Master alloys of copper. Master alloys are defined in Chapter Note 1 (c). The master alloys of this heading are alloys containing more than 10 % by weight of copper together with other elements, and which, because of their composition, are too brittle for normal metal working. They are therefore used either to introduce into brass, bronze or aluminium bronze, other elements with a higher melting point than those alloys, or highly oxidisable elements (e.g., aluminium, cadmium, arsenic, magnesium) or elements sublimable at the fusion temperature, or else to facilitate the preparation of certain alloys by adding de-oxidising, de-sulphurising or similar elements (e.g., calcium). The copper acts as a solvent or diluent of the other elements and must be present in amounts sufficient to reduce the melting point or the oxidising or sublimating action of the master alloy. If the proportion of copper is too high, however, that metal unduly dilutes the other elements introduced into the alloys. The copper content generally ranges between 30 and 90 % in these products but may, in special cases, be above or below these limits. The heading therefore excludes, for example, any copper-nickel alloy, even if intended for use as a master alloy, since copper-nickel alloys are usefully malleable in all proportions. Other alloys, for example copper manganese and copper-silicon alloys, may or may not be malleable according to the proportions of the constituent metals present; in such cases the heading covers only those alloys which are not usefully malleable.

Subject to the provisions of Note 7 to Section XV, it also covers copper powders mixed with other base metal powders (e.g., \u201cbronze powder\u201d consisting of a simple mixture of copper and tin powders). Copper powders are mainly produced by electrodeposition or by atomisation (i.e., by injecting a thin stream of molten metal into a high-velocity cross-jet of water, steam, air or other gases). In addition to the above two main processes, copper powders may also be produced on a smaller scale by gaseous reduction of finely divided oxides, precipitation from solutions or by comminution of solids. Powders of lamellar structure and flakes are normally produced by grinding foil. The lamellar shape can be seen by the naked eye or through a magnifying glass in the case of flakes, but a microscope is needed for true powders. The method of manufacture determines such characteristics as the particle size and shape (which may be more or less irregular, globular, spherical or lamellar). Powders with a lamellar structure are often polished and may retain traces of greasy or waxy substances (e.g., stearic acid or paraffin wax) used in the course of their preparation. The powders are used for compacting and sintering into bearings, bushings and many other technica","7407":"Copper bars, rods and profiles. 74.07 - Copper bars, rods and profiles. 7407.10 - Of refined copper - Of copper alloys : 7407.21 - - Of copper-zinc base alloys (brass) 7407.29 - - Other Bars and rods are defined in Note 9 (a) to Section XV and profiles in Note 9 (b) to Section XV.

The Explanatory Notes to headings 73.04 to 73.06 apply, mutatis mutandis, as regards the scope of the heading and the methods of manufacture of the goods. Most copper tubes and pipes are seamless but may sometimes be made by brazing or welding together the edges of strip or by other processes. The seamless tubes and pipes are usually produced by piercing and extruding a billet to form a tube blank which is hot-rolled or drawn through a die to the finished size. For some purposes the tubes and pipes may be extruded to their final size without drawing. Copper tubes and pipes have many industrial applications (e.g., in cooking, heating, cooling, distilling, refining or evaporating apparatus) and are used in buildings for domestic or general water or gas supplies. Copper alloy condenser tubes are widely employed in ships and power stations because of their strong resistance to corrosion, particularly salt water.

These primary forms are mainly used as an additive in the manufacture of alloy steels and non-ferrous alloys and in the production of certain chemicals. Some of the forms are used in titanium baskets for nickel plating, or for the production of nickel powder. Unrefined nickel is normally cast into anodes for refining by electrolysis. The anodes of this heading are usually in the form of slabs cast with two lugs for suspending them in the electrolytic refining tank. They should not be confused with anodes for electroplating described in the Explanatory Note to heading 75.08. Cathodes are plates obtained by electrolytic deposition onto \u201cstarting sheets\u201d of refined nickel to which two nickel loops have been attached for suspending them in the electrolytic refining tank. As the deposit of refined nickel builds up, the \u201cstarting sheets\u201d become an integral and inseparable part of the cathodes. Untrimmed cathodes are usually shipped without removing these loops, which often carry a growth of deposited nickel at the weld and should not be confused with the suspension hooks fitted to certain electroplating anodes.

The ores are converted into the oxide, which is then reduced by hydrogen in an electric furnace or by aluminium or carbon in a high temperature crucible. The powdered metal so obtained is compressed into blocks or bars which are sintered in an atmosphere of hydrogen in an electric furnace. The compact sintered bars are then hammered mechanically, and finally rolled or drawn into sheets, bars of smaller section or wire. Tungsten is a dense, steel-grey metal, with a high melting point. It is brittle, hard and has a high resistance to corrosion. Tungsten is used in filaments for electric light bulbs and radio valves; elements for electric furnaces; anti-cathodes for X-ray tubes; electric contacts; non-magnetic springs for electrical measuring apparatus or watches; hairlines for telescope lenses; it is also used as welding electrodes for hydrogen arc welding, etc. The most important use of tungsten (usually as ferrrotungsten, see Chapter 72) is, however, in the preparation of special steels.

The metal is obtained either in a compact form suitable for rolling, drawing, etc., or as a powder which can be sintered like tungsten (see the Explanatory Note to heading 81.01). Molybdenum in the compact form resembles lead in appearance, but it is extremely hard and melts at a high temperature. It is malleable and, at normal temperatures, resists corrosion. Molybdenum is used (either as the metal or as ferro-molybdenum, of Chapter 72) for the manufacture of alloy steels. Molybdenum metal is also used in filament supports for electric light bulbs; grids of electronic valves; elements for electric furnaces; current rectifiers and electric contacts.

It may be obtained as a compact metal, or as a powder for sintering like tungsten or molybdenum. Tantalum powder is black. In other forms it is white when polished and steel blue when unpolished. It is very malleable and ductile when pure. It is unusually resistant to corrosion, including the action of most acids. Tantalum is used in the manufacture of the carbide, and (as ferro-tantalum, see Chapter 72) in preparing alloy steels. It is also used to make grids and anodes for electronic valves, current rectifiers, crucibles, heat-exchangers and other chemical apparatus, spinnerets for extruding man-made fibres, dental instruments and surgical tools.

It is also extracted from sea water or natural brines (heading 25.01) and from lyes containing magnesium chloride. In the first stage of the industrial preparation of the metal, magnesium chloride or magnesium oxide (magnesia) is produced by methods varying according to the source of magnesium used. The extraction of the metal is then usually based on one of the two following types of reaction : (A) Electrolysis of fused magnesium chloride mixed with fluxes such as alkali metal chlorides or fluorides. The separated magnesium collects on the surface of the bath around the cathodes and chlorine is withdrawn at the anodes. (B) Thermal reduction of magnesia with carbon, ferro-silicon, silicon carbide, calcium carbide, aluminium, etc. The high temperature of the reaction vaporises the metal which, after rapid cooling, condenses in a very pure state.

They consist essentially of : (1) A rotor comprising a shaft on which is mounted a wheel (or wheels) the rim of which carries a row of closely-spaced vanes or blades generally of curved cross-section and sometimes referred to as \u201cbuckets\u201d. (2) A stator consisting of a casing, in which the rotor is supported and revolves, containing a system of stationary blades or nozzles to direct the steam on to the blading of the rotor.

In a \u201creaction\u201d turbine the blades on the rotor revolve between similarly shaped stationary blades mounted in the reverse form round the face of the stator, and so arranged that the steam flows axially through the blades of the stator and on to the adjacent blades of the rotor. For greater efficiency two systems are often combined in \u201ccompound turbines\u201d, but more often a series of rotors are mounted on a common shaft (multi-stage turbines) to allow progressive expansion of the steam.

It includes such engines for motor vehicles. These engines generally have the following elements : cylinder, piston, connecting-rod, crank shaft, flywheel, inlet and exhaust valves, etc. They make use of the expansion force of a charge of inflammable gas or vapour burned inside a cylinder. The characteristic feature of these engines is that they are equipped with sparking plugs fitted into the cylinder head and with electrical devices (such as magnetos, coils and contact breakers) synchronised with the motor, for supplying high tension current. In the more common types the fuel and air are mixed (e.g., in a carburettor) before induction into the cylinder by the suction stroke of the piston, but in some cases (e.g., certain airc","8408":"Compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines). 84.08 - Compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines). 8408.10 - Marine propulsion engines 8408.20 - Engines of a kind used for the propulsion of vehicles of Chapter 87 8408.90 - Other engines This heading covers compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (other than those of Chapter 95), including those for motor vehicles. These engines are of similar mechanical construction to spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines and have the same essential elements (i.e., cylinder, piston, connecting-rod, crank shaft, flywheel, inlet and exhaust valves, etc.), but differ in that the air (or sometimes air mixed with gas) is first admitted to the cylinder where it is rapidly compressed. Atomised liquid fuel is then injected into the combustion chamber where it is spontaneously ignited by the heat developed, the compression being considerably greater than in the spark-ignition engine. In addition to diesel engines, there are intermediate compression-ignition semi-diesel engines which operate at lower compression. To start this type, the cylinder-head must be pre-heated by a blow-lamp or a glow plug must be used. Compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines operate on heavy fluid fuels such as heavy petroleum or coal tar oils, shale oils, vegetable oils (ground-nut, castor, palm, etc.). * * * The engines of this heading may have one or several cylinders.

The turbines of this heading are, in general, internal combustion engines which do not usually require any external source of heat as does, for example, a steam turbine. (A) TURBO-JETS A turbo-jet consists of a compressor, a combustion system, a turbine and a nozzle, which is a convergent duct placed in the exhaust pipe. The hot pressurised gas exiting from the turbine is converted to a high velocity gas stream by the nozzle. The reaction of this gas stream acting on the engine provides the motive force which may be used to power aircraft. In its simplest form the compressor and turbine are accommodated on a single shaft. In more complex designs the compressor is made in two parts (a two spool compressor) in which the spool of each part is driven by its own turbine through concentric shafting. Another variation is to add a ducted fan usually at the inlet to the compressor and drive this either by a third turbine or connect it to the first compressor spool.

(I) MILKING MACHINES A milking machine comprises a cluster of teat-cups (each with a rubber liner) which are connected, by means of flexible tubing, on one side to a vacuum pump unit via a pulsator and on the other to a milk pail (usually of stainless metal). The pulsator, which is fixed to the lid of the milk pail, acts on the teat-cups by alternating atmospheric pressure with a comparative vacuum between the cups and the liners. The assembly formed by the teat-cup cluster, the pulsator and the milk pail is described as a \u201cmilking pail\u201d. In certain machines of smaller capacity, the milking pails and the vacuum pump unit may be on a common base (single or twin-pail machines). In the machines of larger capacity, the various components are usually separate. A variable number of milking pails may be connected to the vacuum pump unit by piping. Certain types have no milk pails, the milk passing directly from the teat-cups to the cooling apparatus or storage tanks along a pipe-line, generally fixed. These types include milking robots, also known as voluntary milking systems.

This heading covers machines for the manufacture of man-made textile fibres, including machines for cutting the fibres. These include : (1) Machines for extruding man-made textiles in the form of monofilaments or of several filaments. These machines are, in practice, made up of a long series of separate identical spinning units placed side by side. Each unit consists essentially of a metering pump and a filter which feed the spinnerets or spinning nozzles. Depending on the process employed, the one or more filaments leaving the nozzles pass either through a bath containing a chemical coagulating agent (e.g., viscose process), or through an airtight chamber fitted with a water spray (e.g., cuprammonium process) or a hot air current (e.g., cellulose acetate process), or through a cooling chamber. The nozzles may be single or contain a great number of holes (sometimes many thousands) according to whether it is desired to obtain a monofil, or a multi-filament yarn, or tow for cutting into staple fibre. In some machines the fibres emerging from the nozzle are brought together and assembled by a slight twist given by a special device, thus forming a yarn. In others, the fibres leaving the various spinning units are combined in a thick rope (tow), sometimes of many hundreds of thousands of fibres, for subsequent cutting into staple fibre.

In these machines the warp and weft yarns are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric. In the simplest weave, the sheet of warp yarns from the warp beam divides into two groups of alternate yarns, each group being controlled by a harness; these harnesses alternately raise and lower their warp yarns to form an angle (known as the shed) between the two groups of yarns through which passes the weft yarn (in conventional looms carried by a shuttle) which is immediately beaten up against the preceding weft by the reed; the raising or lowering of the groups of warp yarn is then reversed by the harnesses, entrapping the weft and forming a new shed for the next line of weft. On ordinary looms up to eight harnesses can be used to vary the order in which the warp yarns are raised and so produce a certain variation in the weave. More complex looms can execute more complicated weaves. For example, some looms have a special system for controlling the raising of the warp (dobbies, Jacquards, etc.) so as to control a greater number of groups of warp threads or even single warp threads; or special devices can be used ","8447":"Knitting machines, stitch-bonding machines and machines for making gimped yarn, tulle, lace, embroidery, trimmings, braid or net and machines for tufting. 84.47 - Knitting machines, stitch-bonding machines and machines for making gimped yarn, tulle, lace, embroidery, trimmings, braid or net and machines for tufting. - Circular knitting machines : 8447.11 - - With cylinder diameter not exceeding 165 mm 8447.12 - - With cylinder diameter exceeding 165 mm 8447.20 - Flat knitting machines; stitch-bonding machines 8447.90 - Other This heading covers all machinery for the production of fabrics or trimmings by knitting, stitch-bonding, gimping, braiding, netting, tufting, etc., or for embroidery work on any ground, whether using unspun rovings, textile (including peat fibre) yarns, other yarns (e.g., of metal, glass or asbestos) or wire.

(I) MACHINERY FOR PREPARING, TANNING OR WORKING HIDES, SKINS OR LEATHER Many machines of this group are, in practice, used at several stages in the processing of hides or skins (e.g., in the washing, pre-tanning, dyeing or other finishing processes). Such machines include special vats, drums, washers, etc., incorporating mechanical features such as stirrers, rotating mechanisms or devices for manipulating the skins. This group also includes, inter alia : (1) De-hairing machines, which remove from the raw skins the hairs previously loosened by chemical action.

The oxidation increases the temperature of the metal further. The most common types of converters are pear-shaped or cylindrical vessels consisting of an outer shell of heavy steel plates with an internal lining of refractory material. The oxygen is brought in either by a lance from above (LD-converters (Linz-Donawitz)) or through nozzles in the converter bottom (OBM-converters (Oxygen Bodenblasende Maximilianh\u00fctte)). Combinations of the two exist. Other types include converters with the tuy\u00e8res incorporated in the sides, rotating cylindrical converters, conical converters (for treating copper matte) with an internal metal grille for supporting the charge.

In some cases, in addition to their normal functions, rolling mills may be used to produce a pattern on the metal surface, or to roll together two or more sheets of different metals to produce a laminated product. Similar machines for rolling materials other than metal, e.g., calenders, are excluded (heading 84.20). Other roller machines (e.g., for gumming metal foil on to a paper support) (heading 84.20), bending, folding, straightening or flattening machines (heading 84.62) are not regarded as rolling mills in the sense described above and are therefore also excluded from this heading. Rolling mills are of various types according to the particular rolling operations for which they are designed, viz. : (A) Rolling out to reduce the thickness with a corresponding increase in length (e.g., in the rolling of ingots into blooms, billets or slabs; rolling of slabs into sheet, strip, etc.).

A primary cell consists basically of a container holding an alkaline or a non-alkaline electrolyte (e.g., potassium or sodium hydroxide, ammonium chloride or a mixture of lithium chloride, ammonium chloride, zinc chloride and water) in which two electrodes are immersed. The anode is generally of zinc, magnesium or of lithium and the cathode (depolarising electrode) is, for example, of manganese dioxide (mixed with carbon powder), of mercuric oxide or of silver oxide. In lithium primary cells, the anode is of lithium and the cathode is, for example, of thionyl chloride, of sulphur dioxide, manganese dioxide or of iron sulphide. A nonaqueous electrolyte is used because of the solubility and reactivity of lithium in aqueous solutions. In air-zinc primary cells, an alkaline or neutral electrolyte is generally used. The zinc is used as the anode, oxygen diffuses into the cell and is used as the cathode. Each electrode is provided with a terminal or other arrangement for connection to an external circuit. The principal characteristic of a primary cell is that it is not readily or efficiently recharged. Primary cells are used for supplying current for a number of purposes (for bells, telephones, hearing aids, cameras, watches, calculators, heart pacemaker","8507":"Electric accumulators, including separators therefor, whether or not rectangular (including square). 85.07 Electric accumulators, including separators therefor, whether or not rectangular (including square). 8507.10 - Lead-acid, of a kind used for starting piston engines 8507.20 - Other lead-acid accumulators 8507.30 - Nickel-cadmium 8507.50 - Nickel-metal hydride 8507.60 - Lithium-ion 8507.80 - Other accumulators 8507.90 - Parts Electric accumulators (storage batteries or secondary batteries) are characterised by the fact that the electrochemical action is reversible so that the accumulator may be recharged. They are used to store electricity and supply it when required. A direct current is passed through the accumulator producing certain chemical changes (charging); when the terminals of the accumulator are subsequently connected to an external circuit these chemical changes reverse and produce a direct current in the external circuit (discharging). This cycle of operations, charging and discharging, can be repeated for the life of the accumulator. Accumulators consist essentially of a container holding the electrolyte in which are immersed two electrodes fitted with terminals for connection to an external circuit. In many cases the container may be subdivided, each subdivision (cell) being an accumulator in itself; these cells are usually connected together in series to produce a higher voltage. A number of cells so connected is called a battery. A number of accumulators may also be assembled in a larger container. Accumulators may be of the wet or dry cell type.

Suction is effected by means of a turbine fixed directly onto the shaft of the motor, turning at high velocity. The dust and other material are collected in an internal or external dust bag or other receptacle, whereas the air sucked in and filtered is also used to cool the motor.

Unlike electronic integrated circuits, discrete components may have a single active electrical function (semiconductor devices defined by Note 12 (a) to Chapter 85) or a single passive electrical function (resistors, capacitors, inductances, etc.). Discrete components are indivisible and are the basic electronic construction components in a system. However, components consisting of several electric circuit elements and having multiple electrical functions, such as integrated circuits, are not considered as discrete components.

Usually there is a relation between the size of the insulator and the voltage (large for high voltages, smaller for low voltages). Similarly, the shape of the various types of insulators is influenced by electric, thermic and mechanical considerations. The external surface is very smooth in order to prevent the formation of deposits of non-insulating materials, such as water, salts, dusts, oxides and smoke. Insulators are often given bell, accordion, petticoat, grooved, cylinder or other shapes. Certain types are constructed in such a way that when in position they may contain oil to prevent contamination of the surface by conducting materials.

The most common type is the projection lantern (or diascope) which is used to project the image of a transparent object (slide or transparency). It uses two lenses : one, the condenser, forms an image of the light source on the second lens, called the projection lens. The transparency is placed between the two lenses so that the projection lens forms an image of the transparency on the screen. A high power light source is used, the light from which is concentrated by a reflector. Slides may be changed manually, semi-automatically (by means of an electromagnet or by a motor controlled by the operator) or automatically (by means of a timer). Certain diascopes (overhead projectors) have a large object field for the projection of written or printed texts on transparent positives. The episcope is an image projector designed to throw on to a screen an enlarged image of a brightly illuminated opaque object. A source of light is directed on to the surface of the object and the light reflected from that surface is projected by a lens on to a screen.

A compound optical microscope normally comprises : (I) An optical system consisting essentially of an objective designed to produce a magnified image of the object, and an eyepiece which further magnifies the observed image. The optical system usually also incorporates provision for illuminating the object from below (by means of a mirror illuminated by an external or an integral light source), and a set of condenser lenses which direct the beam of light from the mirror on to the object.

The normal type of electron microscope is an assembly of the following devices usually enclosed in a common frame as a unit : (1) A device (known as an electron gun) for emitting and accelerating the electrons. (2) A system (playing the part of the optical system of an ordinary microscope) consisting of electrostatic or electromagnetic \u201clenses\u201d (which are respectively electrically charged plates or coils carrying a current); these act as condenser, objective and projector. There is usually also a further so-called field \u201clens\u201d, between the objective and the projector, which serves to vary the range of magnification while not altering the scope of the scanned field.

Provided, they satisfy the other conditions of the preceding paragraph, the heading includes, as original works, lithographs executed by the transfer technique (in which the lithographic artist first makes his drawing on a special paper and then transfers the design to the stone). The impressions as defined above are produced from engraved plates which may have been executed by various processes, e.g., line-engraving, dry-point, aquatint (acid process) or stipple-engraving. Original impressions remain in this heading even if they have been retouched. It is often difficult to distinguish the original article from the copy, fake or reproduction, but the relatively small number of impressions and the quality of the paper may be useful guides in determining originals; on the other hand, evidence of the use of half-tone screens (in photogravure and heliogravure) and, very often, the absence of the mark left on the paper by the plate, may indicate a copy or a reproduction.

These works may be produced by various processes including the following : in one of these the artist carves the work directly from hard materials; in another the artist models soft materials into figures; these are then cast in bronze or in plaster, or are fired or otherwise hardened, or they may be reproduced by the artist in marble or in other hard materials. In the latter process, the artist usually proceeds on the following lines : He begins by roughing out his idea as a model, also known as a maquette, (usually on a reduced scale) in clay or other plastic material; with this as a basis, he then models a \u201cclay form\u201d. This \u201cclay form\u201d is seldom sold, but is usually destroyed after it has served for moulding a very limited number of copies decided in advance by the artist, or it is placed in a museum for study purposes. These reproductions include, firstly, the \u201cplaster model\u201d produced directly from the \u201cclay form\u201d.
