CHAPTER 36
EXPLOSIVES; PYROTECHNIC PRODUCTS; MATCHES; PYROPHORIC ALLOYS; CERTAIN COMBUSTIBLE REPARATIONS NOTES1. This Chapter does not cover separate chemically defined compounds other than those described in Note 2(a) or 2(b) below.
2. The expression "articles of combustible materials" in heading 3606 applies only to:
(a) metaldehyde, hexamethylenetetramine and similar substances, put up in forms (for example, tablets, sticks or similar forms) for use as fuels; fuels with a basis of alcohol, and similar prepared fuels, in solid or semi-solid form;
(b) liquid or liquefied-gas fuels in containers of a kind used for filling or refilling cigarette or similar lighters and of a capacity not exceeding 300 cm3; and
(c) resin torches, firelighters and the like.
3. For the purposes of Heading 3605, "match" includes a firework in the form of a match; and, where a match stick has more heads than one capable of being ignited by striking, each such head should be deemed to be a match.
