1.
Except where their context or Note 4 to this Chapter otherwise requires, the
headings of this Chapter cover only products which are in the crude state or
which have been washed (even with chemical substances eliminating the
impurities without changing the structure of the product), crushed, ground,
powdered, levigated, sifted, screened, concentrated by flotation, magnetic
separation or other mechanical or physical processes (except
crystallisation), but not products which have been roasted, calcined,
obtained by mixing or subjected to processing beyond that mentioned in each
heading. |
| |
The
products of this Chapter may contain an added anti-dusting agent, provided
that such addition does not render the product particularly suitable for
specific use rather than for general use. |
