Official chapter notes

Verbatim text published by HMRC. These are the legal basis for classification decisions in this chapter; the "General Rules of Interpretation" point at them directly.

Mixtures of the products of heading [0904](/headings/0904) to [0910](/headings/0910) are to be classified as follows: - (a) mixtures of two or more of the products of the same heading are to be classified in that heading; - (b) mixtures of two or more of the products of different headings are to be classified in heading [0910](/headings/0910). The addition of other substances to the products of heading [0904](/headings/0904) to [0910](/headings/0910) (or to the mixtures referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) above) shall not affect their classification provided that the resulting mixtures retain the essential character of the goods of those headings. Otherwise such mixtures are not classified in this chapter; those constituting mixed condiments or mixed seasonings are classified in heading [2103](/headings/2103). 2. This chapter does not cover cubeb pepper (Piper cubeba) or other products of heading [1211](/headings/1211). ### Additional chapter notes 1.
