This heading also covers rotten eggs in shell, as well as eggs in which the incubation process has started.
Preservation may be achieved by treating the outside of the eggs with a fat, wax or paraffin wax, by immersion in a solution of lime or silicate (soda or potash), or by other methods.
The term ‘poultry’ means the birds of heading 0105.
General
Caseinates obtained from milk casein are used, for example, as emulsifiers (sodium caseinate) or as a source of protein (calcium caseinate). Products containing caseinates in excess of 3 % by weight of the dry matter are excluded from headings 0401 to 0404, since those caseinates do not occur naturally in milk at this level (in particular, see heading 1901).
