Chapter 27: Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation; 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 classified in heading 27.11;

(b) Medicaments of heading 30.03 or 30.04; or

(c) Unsaturated hydrocarbon mixtures of heading 33.01, 33.02 or 38.05.

2. In heading 27.10, the expression “petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals” includes not only petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals but also similar oils, as well as other oils 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, this definition does not include liquid synthetic polyolefins, of which less than 60% by volume distils at 300°C, after using a reduced-pressure distillation method which converts to 1,013 millibars (Chapter 39).

3. For the purposes of heading 27.10, “waste oils” means wastes containing mainly petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals (as described in Note 2 to this Chapter), whether or not containing water. It includes:

(a) Oils that are no longer usable as primary products (for example, used lubricating oils, used hydraulic oils and used transformer oils);

(b) Residual oil from petroleum oil storage tanks, containing mainly such oil and high concentrations of additives (e.g. chemicals) used to manufacture base products; and

(c) Such oils are in the form of emulsions in water or mixed with water, such as oil recovered from oil spills, from oil tank washing, or from cutting oils used to run machinery.

Subheading Notes

1. For the purposes of subheading 2701.11 “anthracite” means coal having a volatile matter limit (on a dry, mineral-matter-free basis) not exceeding 14%.

2. For the purposes of subheading 2701.12, “bituminous coal” means coal having a volatile matter limit (on a dry, mineral-matter-free basis) exceeding 14% and a calorific value limit (on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis) equal to or greater than 5,833 kcal/kg.

3. For the purposes of subheadings 2707.10, 2707.20, 2707.30 and 2707.40 the terms “benzol (benzene)”, “toluol (toluene)”, “xylol (xylene)” and “naphthalene” apply to products containing more than 50% by weight of benzene, toluene, xylene or naphthalene, respectively.

4. For the purposes of subheading 2710.12, “light oils and preparations” are oils of which 90% or more by volume (including losses) distils at 210 ^o C according to the ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 86 method).

5. For the purposes of the subheadings of heading 27.10, the term “biodiesel” means mono-alkyl esters of fatty acids, of a kind used as a fuel, made from animal, vegetable or microbiological fats and oils, whether or not used.
