bituminous substances; mineral waxes
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 No.27 .11 ;
(b) Medicaments of heading No. 30.03 or 30.04; or
(c) Mixed unsaturated hydrocarbons of heading No. 33.01, 33.02 or 38.05.
2.- References in heading No.27 .10 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 hydrocarbons, obtained by any process,
provided that the weight of the non-aromatic constituents exceeds that of the
aromatic constituents.
However, the references do not include liquid
synthetic polyolefins of which less than 60 % by volume distils at 300 °C,
after conversion to 1,013 millibars when a reduced-pressure distillation method
is used (Chapter 39).
Subheading Notes.
1.- For the purposes of subheading No. 2701.11, " anthracite "

not exceeding 14 %.
2.- For the purposes of subheading No.2701.12, " bituminous coal
" means coal having a volatile matter limit (on a dry, minera1-matter-free
basis) exceeding 14 % and a calorific value limit (on a moist,
minera1-matter-free basis) equal to or greater than 5,833 kcal/kg.
3.- For the purposes of subheadings Nos. 2707.10, 2707.20, 2707.30,
