ANNEX

1.2.3 // // // // Description of the goods // Classification (CN code) // Reasons // // // // (1) // (2) // (3) // // // // // // // 1. Grains of Zizania aquatica ('wild rice') not dehulled, resembling pine needles, brown in colour // 1008 90 90 // Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 and the texts of CN codes 1008 and 1008 90 90. The outer green layer has been removed from the product but the black pericarp remians. The product cannot therefore be classified as husked grain of CN code 1104 29 10. // 2. Powder of dead monocellular algae (Spirulina or Chlorella) whether or not put up in the form of tablets or capsules for human consumption. // 2102 20 90 // Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 and the texts of CN codes 2102, 2102 20 and 2102 20 90. See also HS explanatory notes to heading 2102, item B. The manner in which the goods are presented does not affect the classification. // 3. Milk product consisting of skimmed milk powder containing 50 - 100 million live yoghurt bacteria (Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus) per gram, with a fat content not exceeding 3 %. // 0403 10 11 // Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 and the texts of CN codes 0403, 0403 10 and 0403 10 11. The product is essentially a milk product of CN codes 0403 rather than a microbial culture of CN code 3002. // 4. Product obtained by dry turbo-separation of wheat flour and having the following analytical characteristics (by dry weight): - starch content: 83 % using the modified Ewers polarimetric method, - ash content: 0,4 %, - protein content: approximately 4,5 % // 1101 00 00 // Classification is determined by the provisions of general rule 1 and the texts of CN code 1101 00 00 and of note 2 to Chapter 11. This product presents the characteristics of a wheat flour. Although it is enriched with starch and has a reduced protein content, it does not meet the analytical criteria for classification as a wheat starch of CN code 1108 11. // 5. Famotidine (INN) // 2934 10 00 // Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 and the texts of CN codes 2934 and 2934 10 00. The compound is not a sulphonamide of heading 29.35 because the sulphur atom of the SO2NH2 group is not directly linked to a carbon atom. The structure includes an unfused thiazole ring. // 6. Preparation of the kind used as raw material in the production of cosmetics having the following composition: - animal placenta extracts approximately 10 % by weight, - maize germ oil approximately 90 % by weight. // 3823 90 99 // Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 and the texts of CN codes 3823 and 3823 90 99. The product cannot be considered as a protein substance of CN code 3504. It is covered by the second part of the text of CN code 3823. It is an intermediate product not yet having the characteristics of a cosmetic preparation. // // // // Description of the goods // Classification (CN code) // Reasons // // // // (1) // (2) // (3) // // // // // 7. Preparation of the kind used as raw material in the production of cosmetics having the following composition: - Collagen approximately 3 % by weight, - Glycerol approximately 44 % by weight, - Water approximately 53 % by weight. // 3823 90 99 // Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 and the texts of CN codes 3823 and 3823 90 99. The product cannot be considered as a protein substance of CN code 3504. It is covered by the second part of the text of CN code 3823. It is an intermediate product not yet having the characteristics of a cosmetic preparation. // 8. Preparation of the kind used as raw material in the production of cosmetics having the following composition: - Elastin approximately 5 % by weight, - Propare-1, 2-diol approximately 45 % by weight, - Water approximately 50 % by weight. // 3823 90 99 // Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 and the texts of CN codes 3823 and 3823 90 99. The product cannot be considered as a protein substance of CN code 3504. It is covered by the second part of the text of CN code 3823. It is an intermadiate product not yet having the characteristics of a cosmetic preparation. // 9. Mechanical assembly for a video recording or reproducing apparatus of CN code 8521, equipped with recording and reproducing heads (Mecadeck). // 8521 10 39 // Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1, 2 (a) and 6 and the texts of CN codes 8521, 8521 10 and 8521 10 39. This mechanical assembly presents the essential characteristics of a video recording or reproducing apparatus. // 10. Flat non-alloy steel product, obtained by the continuous casting process, having dimensions of 1 700 mm × 6 000 mm × 70 mm, with as-rolled edges // 7208 // Classification is determined by the provisions of general rule 1 and the text of CN code 7208. The dimensions of the product do not result from simple rough rolling and the product is therefore regarded as a flat rolled product (plate) of CN code 7208 rather than as a semifinished product (slab) of CN code 7207. // 11. Flat non-alloy steel product obtained by the continuous casting process, having dimensions of 2 520 mm × 4 400 mm × 90 mm, with sheared edges // 7208 // Classification is determined by the provisions of general rule 1 and the text of CN code 7208. The dimensions of the product do not result from simple rough rolling and the product is therefore regarded as a flat rolled product (plate) of CN code 7208 rather than as a semifinished product (slab) of CN code 7207. // // //
