1. 31.01 does not include goods put up in a form or pack described in 31.05.

2. The quantitative criteria specified in notes 3, 4 and 5 are to be applied on a dry anhydrous basis.

3. In 31.02, “mineral or chemical fertilisers, nitrogenous” means—

(a) sodium nitrate containing not more than 16.3% by weight of nitrogen;

(b) ammonium nitrate, whether or not pure;

(c) ammonium sulphonitrate, whether or not pure;

(d) ammonium sulphate, whether or not pure;

(e) calcium nitrate containing not more than 16% by weight of nitrogen;

(f) calcium nitrate-magnesium nitrate, whether or not pure;

(g) calcium cyanamide containing not more than 25% by weight of nitrogen, whether or not treated with oil;

(h) urea, whether or not pure;

(j) fertilisers consisting of a mixture of two or more of the following substances:

sodium nitrate;

ammonium nitrate, whether or not pure;

ammonium sulphonitrate, whether or not pure;

ammonium sulphate, whether or not pure;

calcium nitrate;

calcium nitrate-magnesium nitrate, whether or not pure;

calcium cyanamide, whether or not treated with oil;

urea, whether or not pure;

(k) fertilisers consisting of ammonium chloride, or of any of the goods referred to in paragraphs (a) to (j) (inclusive), mixed with chalk, gypsum or other inorganic non-fertilising substances; and

(m) liquid fertilisers consisting of the goods referred to in paragraph (b) or (h) or of mixtures of those goods, in an aqueous or liquid ammonia solution,

4. In 31.03, “mineral or chemical fertilisers, phosphatic” means—

(a) basic slag;

(b) calcium phosphates that have been disintegrated after calcining (thermophosphates and fused phosphates) and calcined natural aluminium calcium phosphates;

(c) superphosphates (whether single, double or triple);

(d) calcium hydrogen phosphate containing not less than 0.2% by weight of fluorine;

(e) fertilisers consisting of a mixture of 2 or more of the following substances:

basic slag;

calcium phosphates that have been disintegrated after calcining and calcined natural aluminium calcium phosphates;

superphosphates (whether single, double or triple);

calcium hydrogen phosphate; and

(f) fertilisers consisting of any of the goods referred to in paragraphs (a) to (e) (inclusive), mixed with chalk, gypsum or other inorganic non-fertilising substances,
