Chapter 26
Ores, slag and ash
Notes.
1. This chapter does not cover:
(a) Slag or similar industrial waste
prepared as macadam (heading 25.17)
(b) Natural
magnesium carbonate (magnesite), whether or not calcined (heading 25.19);
(c) Sludges
from the storage tanks of petroleum oils, consisting mainly of such oils
(heading 27.10);
(d) Basic
slag of Chapter 31;
(e) Slag
wool, rock wool or similar mineral wools (heading 68.06); or
(f) Waste or scrap of precious metal or
of metal clad with precious metal; other waste or scrap containing precious
metal or precious metal compounds, of a kind used principally for the recovery
of precious metal (heading 71.12); or
(g) Copper, nickel or cobalt mattes
produced by any process of smelting (Section XV).
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) 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) 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. 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.
