0403 10 11

Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 and the texts of CN codes 0403, 0403 10 and 0403 10 11. The product is essentially a milk product of CN codes 0403 rather than a microbial culture of CN code 3002.

4. Product obtained by dry turboseparation of wheat flour and having the following analytical characteristics (by dry weight):
- starch content: 83% using the modified Ewers polarimetric method,
- ash content: 0,4%,
- protein content: approximately 4,5%

110 100 00

Classification is determined by the provisions of general rule 1 and the texts of CN code 110100 00 and of note 2 to Chapter 11. This product presents the characteristics of a wheat flour. Although it is enriched with starch and has a reduced protein content, it does not meet the analytical criteria for classification as a wheat starch of CN code 1108 11.

5. Famotidine (INN)

2934 10 00

Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 and the texts of CN codes 2934 and 2934 10 00. The compound is not a sulphonamfde of heading 29.35 because the sulphur atom of the S02NH2 group is not directly linked to a carbon atom. The structure includes . an unfused thiazole ring.

6. Preparation of the kind used as raw material in the production of cosmetics having the following composition:
- animal placenta extracts approximately 10% by weight,
- maize germ oil approximately 90% by weight.

3823 90 99

Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 and the texts of CN codes 3823 and 3823 90 99. The product cannot be considered as a protein substance of CN code 3504. It is covered by the second part of the text of CN code 3823. It is an intermediate product not yet having the characteristics of a cosmetic preparation.

7. Preparation of the kind used as raw material in the production of cosmetics having the following composition:
- Collagen approximately 3% by weight,
- Glycerol approximately 44% by weight,
- Water approximately 53% by weight.

3823 90 99

Classification is determined by the pro visions of general rules 1 and 6 and the texts of CN codes 3823 and 3823 90 99. The product cannot be considered as a protein substance of CN code 3504. It is covered by the second part of the text of CN code 3823. It is an intermediate product not yet having the characteristics of a cosmetic preparation.

8. Preparation of the kind used as raw material in the production of cosmetics having the following composition:

This mechanical assembly presents the essential characteristics of a video recording or reproducing apparatus.

10. Flat non-alloy steel product, obtained by the continuous casting process, having dimensions of 1 700 mm x 6 000 mm x 70 mm, with as-rolled edges

7208

Classification is determined by the provisions of general rule 1 and the text of CN code 7208. The dimensions of the product do not result from simple rough rolling and the product is therefore regarded as a flat rolled product (plate) of CN code 7208 rather than as a semifinished product (slab) of CN code 7207.

11. Flat non-alloy steel product obtained by the continuous casting process, having dimensions of 2 520 mm x 4 400 mm x 90 mm, with sheared edges

7208

Classification is determined by the provisions of general rule 1 and the text of CN code 7208. The dimensions of the product do not result from simple rough rolling and the product is therefore regarded as a flat rolled product (plate) of CN code 7208 rather than as a semifinished product (slab) of CN code 7207.
