1. For the purposes of subheading 0404 10, 'whey' means the product obtained during the manufacture of cheese or caseins from milk, pre-cream or skim milk, whether or not treated beforehand by physical means. 2. For the purposes of subheading 0405 10, the term 'butter' means only natural butter of subheading 0405 10 11 or 0405 10 19, or butter of subheading 0405 10 30, or butter of subheading 0405 10 50, or butter of subheading 0405 10 90. By weight, the fat content derived from milk must be 80 % or more but not exceeding 95 %, with a maximum milk solids-not-fat content of 2 % and a maximum water content of 16 %. Butter does not contain added emulsifiers, but may contain sodium chloride, food colours, neutralising salts and cultures of harmless lactic-acid-producing bacteria.
1. The expression 'milk' means full-cream milk or partially or completely skimmed milk. 2. For the purposes of heading 0405: (a) the term 'butter' means natural butter, whey butter or recombined butter (fresh, salted or rancid, including canned butter) derived exclusively from milk, with a milkfat content of 80% or more but not more than 95% by weight, a maximum milk solids-not-fat content of 2% by weight and a maximum water content of 16% by weight. Butter does not contain added emulsifiers, but may contain sodium chloride, food colours, neutralising salts and cultures of harmless lactic-acid-producing bacteria; (b) the expression 'dairy spreads' means a spreadable emulsion of the water-in-oil type, containing milkfat as the only fat, with a milkfat content of 39% or more but less than 80% by weight. 3. Products obtained by the concentration of whey and with the addition of milk or milkfat, are to be classified as cheese in heading 0406 provided that they have: a milkfat content of 5% or more by weight, calculated on the dry matter; and a dry matter content of at least 70% but not exceeding 85% by weight. 4. This chapter does not cover: (a) products obtained from whey, containing by weight more than 95% lactose, expressed as anhydrous lactose, calculated on the dry matter (heading 1702); (b) albumins (including concentrates of two or more whey proteins, containing by weight more than 80% whey proteins, calculated on the dry matter) (heading 3502) or globulins (heading 3504).
