2.
For the purposes of headings 26.01 to 26.17, the term “ores” means minerals
of mineralogical species actually used in the metallurgical industry for the
extraction of mercury, of the metals of heading 28.44 or of the metals of
Section XIV or XV, even if they are intended for non-metallurgical purposes.
Headings 26.01 to 26.17 do not, however, include minerals which have been
submitted to processes not normal to the metallurgical industry. |

3.
Heading 26.20 applies only to: |
| |
(a)
Slag, ash and residues of a kind used in industry either for the extraction
of metals or as a basis for the manufacture of chemical compounds of metals,
excluding ash and residues from the incineration of municipal waste (heading
26.21); and |
| |
(b)
Slag, ash and residues containing arsenic, whether or not containing metals,
of a kind used either for the extraction of arsenic or metals or for the
manufacture of their chemical compounds. |
| |
Subheading
Notes. |
| |
1.
For the purposes of subheading 2620.21, “leaded gasoline sludges and leaded
anti-knock compound sludges” mean sludges obtained from storage tanks of
leaded gasoline and leaded anti- knock compounds (for example, tetraethyl
lead), and consisting essentially of lead, lead compounds and iron oxide. |

2.
Slag, ash and residues containing arsenic, mercury, thallium or their
mixtures, of a kind used for the extraction of arsenic or those metals or for
the manufacture of their chemical compounds, are to be classified in
subheading 2620.60. |
