# Introduction

This report should be read together with CH5088, "Index & Guide to
China's 2005 Import Tariff Schedule", which contains definitions of the
column headings and a table of definitions of the codes used in the
column labeled, "S&C." It also contains an index of GAIN reports for
other agricultural products not contained in this report.

###### DISCLAIMER: The report is NOT a legal document and should not be used for such purposes. While FAS/Beijing has made every effort to accurately transcribe and translate the information, in the event of any errors or omissions in translation or other information contained herein, the original version of China's tariff schedule in the Chinese language shall prevail. Moreover, Chinese Customs officials at the port of entry determine the description of products imported into the People's Republic of China and the tariff paid thereon.

        other solvents provided that the solution constitutes a normal
        and necessary method of putting up these products adopted solely
        for reasons of safety or for transport and that the solvent does
        not render the product particularly suitable for specific use
        rather than for general use;

    f.  The products mentioned in (a), (b), (c) (d) or (e) above with an
        added stabilizer (including an anti-caking agent) necessary for

        an added anti-dusting agent or a coloring or odoriferous
        substance added to facilitate their identification or for safety
        reasons, provided that the additions do not render the product
        particularly suitable for specific use rather than for general
        use;

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
6.  -- The compounds of headings 29.30 and 29.31 are organic compounds
    the molecules of which contain, in addition to atoms of hydrogen,
    oxygen or nitrogen, atoms of other non-metals of or metals (such as
    sulphur, arsenic, mercury or lead) directly linked to carbon atoms.
    Heading 29.30 (organo-sulphur compounds) and heading 29.31 (other
    organo-inorganic compounds) do not include sulphonated or
    halogenated derivatives (including compound derivatives) which,
    apart from hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, only have directly linked
    to carbon the atoms of sulphur or of a halogen which give them their
    nature of sulphonated or halogenated derivatives (or compound
    derivatives).

7.  -- Headings 29.32, 29.33 and 29.34 do not include epoxides with a
    three-membered ring, ketone peroxides, cyclic polymers of aldehydes
    or of thioaldehydes, anhydrides of polybasic carboxylic acids,
    cyclic esters of polyhydric alcohols or phenols with polybasic
    acids, and imides of polybasic acids.

> These provisions apply only when the ring-position hetero-atoms are
> those resulting solely form the cyclising function or functions here
> listed.

    a.  The term "hormones" includes hormone-releasing or
        hor-mone-stimulating factors, hormone inhibitors and hormone
        antagonists (anti-hormones);

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

Subheading Note:

1.  -- Within any one heading of this Chapter, derivatives of a chemical
    compound (or group of chemical compounds) are to be classified in
    the same subheading as that compound (or group of compounds)
    provided that they are not more specifically covered by any other
    subheading and that there is no residual subheading named "other" in
    the series of subheadings concerned.

    degree of certainty associated with each value and which are
    suitable for analytical, calibrating or referencing purposes;

> \(b\) With the exception of the products of Chapter 28 or 29, for the
> classification of certified reference materials, heading 38.22 shall
> take precedence over any other heading in the Nomenclature.

3.  -- Heading 38.24 includes the following goods which are not to be
    classified in any other heading of the Nomenclature:

    a.  Cultured crystals (other than optical elements) weighing not
        less than 2.5g each, of magnesium oxide or of the halides of the
        alkali or alkaline-earth meals;

    b.  Fusel oil; Dippel's oil;

    c.  Ink removers put up in packing for retail sale;

    d.  Stencil correctors and other correcting fluids put up in packing
        for retail sale; and

    e.  Ceramic firing testers, fusible (for example, Seger cones).

4.  -- Throughout the Nomenclature, "municipal waste" means waste of a
    kind collected from households, hotels, restaurants, hospitals,
    shops, offices, etc., road and pavement sweepings, as well as
    construction and demolition waste. Municipal waste generally
    contains a large variety of materials such as plastics, rubber,
    wood, paper, textiles, glass, metals, food materials, broken
    furniture and other damaged or discarded articles. The term
    "municipal waste", however, does not cover:

    a.  Individual materials or articles segregated from the waste, such
        as wastes of plastics, rubber, wood, paper, textiles, glass or
        metals and spent batteries which fall in their appropriate
        headings of the Nomenclature;

    b.  Industrial waste;

    c.  Waste pharmaceuticals, as defined in Note 4 (k) to Chapter 30;

    d.  Clinical waste, as defined in Note 6 (a) below.

5.  -- For the purposes of heading 38.25, "sewage sludge" means sludge
    arising from urban effluent treatment plant and includes
    pretreatment waste, scouring and unstabilized sludge. Stabilized
    sludge when suitable for use as fertilizer is excluded (Chapter 31).

6.  -- For the purposes of heading 38.25, the expression "other wastes"
    applies to:

    a.  Clinical waste, that is, contaminated waste arising from medical
        research, diagnosis, treatment or other medical, surgical,
        dental or veterinary procedures, which often contain pathogens
        and pharmaceutical substances and require special disposal
        procedures (for example, soiled dressings, used gloves and used
        syringes);

    b.  Waste organic solvents;

    c.  Wastes of metal pickling liquors, hydraulic fluids, brake fluids
        and anti-freezing fluids; and

    d.  Other wastes from chemical or allied industries.

> The expression "other wastes" does not, however, cover wastes which
> contain mainly petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous
> minerals (heading 27.10).

Subheading Note:

1.  \- For the purposes of subheadings 3825.41 and 3825.49, "waste
    organic solvents" are wastes containing mainly organic solvents, not
    fit for further use as presented as primary products, whether or not
    intended for recovery of the solvents.
