Containing ethyl alcohol produced from agricultural products (as listed in Annex I to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union)

Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70 % or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils See notes 2 and 3 to this chapter and the relevant explanatory notes. Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals (other than crude) and preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70 % or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations, other than those containing biodiesel and other than waste oils For definitions of these products, see note 2 to this chapter and the HS Explanatory Note to heading 2710 , (I). As regards the subheadings for products intended: see additional notes 5 and 6 to this chapter and the relevant explanatory notes. I. Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals (other than crude) This group covers mixtures of isomers (other than stereoisomers) of saturated acyclic hydrocarbons containing less than 95 % of a particular isomer or of unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons containing less than 90 % of a particular isomer, these percentages being calculated on the weight of the anhydrous product. This group also covers separate isomers of the above hydrocarbons having a purity of less than 95 % and 90 %, respectively, by weight. This group covers only petroleum oils and oils from bituminous minerals: 1. having a crystallising point, as measured by the ASTM D 938 method (equivalent to the ISO 2207 method), below 30 °C; or 2. having a crystallising point of 30 °C or higher and (a) a density of less than 0,942 g/cm3 at 70 °C by the EN ISO 12185 method, and a worked cone penetration, as measured by the ASTM D 217 method (equivalent to the ISO 2137 method), of at least 350 at 25 °C; or (b) a minimum density of 0,942 g/cm3 at 70 °C by the EN ISO 12185 method, and a needle penetration, as measured by the EN 1426 method, of at least 400 at 25 °C. For the purposes of paragraph (I) above, petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals are also to be taken to include such oils to which very small quantities of various substances have been added, for example, as additives to improve quality or odour, tracers, colouring agents. See also the diagram below: Distinguishing criteria for certain petroleum products of subheadings 2710 12 11 to 2710 19 99 and of headings 2712 and 2713 (other than preparations of subheadings 2710 12 11 to 2710 19 99 ) II. Preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70 % or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations, other than those containing biodiesel To be classified in these subheadings, preparations must satisfy the following conditions: 1. the proportion by weight of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, as defined in part I above, must be 70 % or more. This proportion is that determined by analysis and not by the quantity of materials added; 2. they must be neither specified nor included elsewhere; 3. petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals in mixtures, must be the basic constituent of the preparation, that is, the essential constituent having regard to use. The preparations of these subheadings do not include: (a) paints and varnishes (headings 3208 , 3209 and 3210 00 ); (b) beauty preparations and cosmetics based on mineral oils (generally, heading 3304 or 3307 ); (c) petroleum sulphonates (heading 3402 or 3824 ). Petroleum sulphonates are usually in the form of suspensions in petroleum oil or oil obtained from bituminous minerals. The pure sulphonate content is usually so high as to preclude direct use as a lubricant; (d) preparations for polishing, preserving or otherwise treating wood, paintwork, metals, glass or other materials (mainly heading 3405 ); (e) disinfectants, insecticides, etc., however put up, consisting of solutions or dispersions of an active ingredient in petroleum oil or oil obtained from bituminous minerals (heading 3808 ); (f) prepared dressings of the kind used in the textile industry (heading 3809 ); (g) prepared additives for mineral oils (also called dopes) (heading 3811 ); (h) organic composite solvents and thinners (for example, heading 3814 00 ); (ij) foundry core binders (subheading 3824 10 00 ); (k) certain anti-rust preparations, in particular: (i) prepared, for example, from lanolin (approximately 20 %) in solution in white spirit (subheading 3403 19 10 ); (ii) containing amines as active ingredients (subheading 3824 99 92 ). 2710 12 11 to 2710 12 90 Light oils and preparations See subheading note 4 to this chapter. 2710 12 21 and 2710 12 25 Special spirits See additional note 2(a) to this chapter.
