Notes. |
| |
1.
Except where the context otherwise requires, for the purposes of this Chapter
the expression “textile fabrics” applies only to the woven fabrics of
Chapters 50 to 55 and headings 58.03 and 58.06, the braids and ornamental
trimmings in the piece of heading 58.08 and the knitted or crocheted fabrics
of headings 60.02 to 60.06. |

2.
Heading 59.03 applies to: |
| |
(a)
Textile fabrics, impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics,
whatever the weight per square metre and whatever the nature of the plastic
material (compact or cellular), other than: |
| |
(1)
Fabrics in which the impregnation, coating or covering cannot be seen with
the naked eye (usually Chapters 50 to 55, 58 or 60); for the purpose of this
provision, no account should be taken of any resulting change of colour; |
| |
(2)
Products which cannot, without fracturing, be bent manually around a cylinder
of a diameter of 7 mm, at a temperature between 15oC and 30oC (usually Chapter 39); |
| |
(3)
Products in which the textile fabric is either completely embedded in
plastics or entirely coated or covered on both sides with such material,
provided that such coating or covering can be seen with the naked eye with no
account being taken of any resulting change of colour (Chapter 39); |
| |
(4)
Fabrics partially coated or partially covered with plastics and bearing
designs resulting from these treatments (usually Chapters 50 to 55, 58 or
60); |

applies to products in rolls, of a width of not less than 45 cm, suitable for
wall or ceiling decoration, consisting of a textile surface which has been
fixed on a backing or has been treated on the back (impregnated or coated to
permit pasting). |
| |
This

flock or dust fixed directly on a backing of paper (heading 48.14) or on a
textile backing (generally heading 59.07). |

sheathed with rubber, of heading 56.04; and |
| |
(c)
Fabrics composed of parallel textile yarns agglomerated with rubber,
irrespective of their weight per square metre. |
| |
This
heading does not, however, apply to plates, sheets or strip of cellular
rubber, combined with textile fabric, where the textile fabric is present
merely for reinforcing purposes (Chapter 40), or textile products of heading
58.11. |
| |
5.
Heading 59.07 does not apply to: |
| |
(a)
Fabrics in which the impregnation, coating or covering cannot be seen with
the naked eye (usually Chapters 50 to 55, 58 or 60); for the purpose of this
provision, no account should be taken of any resulting change of colour; |
| |
(b)
Fabrics painted with designs (other than painted canvas being theatrical
scenery, studio back-cloths or the like); |
| |
(c)
Fabrics partially covered with flock, dust, powdered cork or the like and
bearing designs resulting from these treatments; however, imitation pile
fabrics remain classified in this heading; |
| |
(d)
Fabrics finished with normal dressings having a basis of amylaceous or
similar substances; |

| |
(i)
