metals,of radioactive elements or of isotopes
Notes.

I.- Except where the context otherwise requires, the headings of this Chapter apply only to :

(a) Separate chemical elements and separate chemically defined compounds, whether or not
containing impurities;
(b) The products mentioned in (a) above dissolved in water;
(c) The products mentioned in (a) above dissolved in other solvents provided that the solution
constitutes a normal and necessary method of putting up these products adopted solely for
reasons of safety or for transport and that the solvent does not render the product particularly
suitable for specific use rather than for general use ;
(d) The products mentioned in (a), (b) or (c) above with an added stabiliser (including an anti-
caking agent) necessary for their preservation or transport;

(e) The products mentioned in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above with an added anti-dusting agent or a
colouring substance added to facilitate their identification or for safety reasons, provided that the
additions do not render the product particularly suitable for specific use rather than for general use .
