- (a) Give a transparent or translucent liquid or stable emulsion without separation of insoluble matter; and
- (b) Reduce the surface tension of water to 4.5 x 10 -2 N/m (45 dyne/cm) or less.
- 4. In heading 3403 the expression "petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals" applies to the products defined in note 2 to chapter 27.

- (a) Chemically produced organic products of a waxy character, whether or not water-soluble;
- (b) Products obtained by mixing different waxes;
- (c) Products of a waxy character with a basis of one or more waxes and containing fats, resins, mineral substances or other materials.
The heading does not apply to:- (a) Goods of heading 1516, 3402 or 3823 even if having a waxy character;
- (b) Unmixed animal waxes or unmixed vegetable waxes, whether or not refined or colored, of heading 1521;
