Notes.

1. This Chapter does not cover:

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:

Subheading Notes.

1. For the purposes of subheading 2620.21, "leaded gasoline sludge and leaded anti-knock compound sludge" mean sludge 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.

Statistical Note.

(NB This note does not form part of the Customs Tariff legislation.)

1. For the purposes of headings 26.02 to 26.17, with the exception of classification Nos. 2606.00.00.10 and 2606.00.00.90, the unit of measure (gram, kilogram) refers to the metal content of the ore or concentrate.
