Legal notes
Additional notes
1. For the purposes of subheadings 16023111, 16023211, 16023921, 16025010 and 16029061, the term ‘uncooked’ is to apply to products which have not been subjected to any heat treatment or which have been subjected to a heat treatment insufficient to ensure the coagulation of meat proteins in the whole of the product and which, therefore, in the case of subheadings 16025010 and 16029061, show traces of a pinkish liquid on the cut surface when the product is cut along a line passing through its thickest part.
2. For the purposes of subheadings 16024110, 16024210 and 16024911 to 16024915, the expression ‘cuts thereof’ applies only to prepared or preserved meat which, due to the size and the characteristics of the coherent muscle tissue, is identifiable as having been obtained from hams, shoulders, loins, or collars of domestic swine, as the case may be.
