| |
| Notes |
| |
| 1. | This chapter does not cover: |
| | (a). | Separate chemically defined organic compounds, other than pure methane and propane which are to be classified in heading 2711; | |
| | (b). | Medicaments of heading 3003 or 3004; or | |
| | (c). | Mixed unsaturated hydrocarbons of heading 3301, 3302 or 3805. | |
| |
| 2. |
References in heading 2710 to "petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals" include not only petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, but also similar oils, as well as those consisting mainly of mixed unsaturated hydrocarbon
s, obtained by any process, provided that the weight of the nonaromatic constituents exceeds that of the aromatic constituents. However, the references do not include liquid synthetic polyolefins of which less than 60 percent by volume distills at 300 degr
ees C, after conversion to 1,013 millibars when a reduced-pressure distillation method is used (chapter 39). |
| |
| 3. |
For the purposes of heading 2710, waste oils means waste containing mainly petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals (as described in note 2 to this chapter), whether or not mixed with water. These include: |
| | (a). | Such oils no longer fit for use as primary products (for example, used lubricating oils, used hydraulic oils and used transformer oils); | |
| | (b). |
Sludge oils from the storage tanks of petroleum oils, mainly containing such oils and a high concentration of additives (for example, chemicals) used in the manufacture of the primary products; and | |
| | (c). | Such oils in the form of emulsions in water or mixtures with water, such as those resulting from oil spills, storage tank washings, or from the use of cutting oils for machining operations.
| |

| | (b). | If the Congealing Point is not less than 30 degrees C: | |
| | | (i). a density at 70 degrees C of less than 0.942 and a Worked Cone Penetration (ASTM D 217) or a Cone Penetration (ASTM D 937) at 25 degrees C of not lessthan 350; or |
| | | (ii). if the density at 70 degrees C is not less than 0.942 having a Needle Penetration (ASTM D 5) at 25 degrees C of not less than 400. |
| |
| 4. |
For the purpose of subheading 2710.11.15, "motor fuel" is any product derived primarily from petroleum, shale or natural gas, whether or not containing additives, which is principally used as a fuel in internal-combustion or other engines. |

In determining the relative weights of components of the mixtures provided for in subheading 2710.11.45 and 2710.19.45, naphtha and other petroleum derivatives which may be present in such mixtures as solvents shall be disregarded. |
| |
| 7. | For the purposes of subheading 2711.11, the quantity of liquefied natural gas shall be reported on a gaseous equivalent volume basis. |
| |
