For this purpose " similarly combined" must be combinations of plastics with materia s, other than plastics, which enhance the strength of the plastic material (e.g., embedded metal mesh and woven glass fabric, as well as mineral fibres, whiskers and filaments). r However, products made out of plastics co ounded with fillers in the form of powders, granules, spheres or flakes are classified in this eading. Further, minor surface treatments such as coloration, printing (subject to Note 2 to Section VI ,vacuum deposition of metal are not to be regarded as reinforcements or similar combinations or the purposes of this heading. IT This heading also excludes cellular products (heading 39.21) and strip of plastics, of an apparent width not exceeding 5 mm (Chapter 54). According to Note 10 to this Cha ter, the expression"plates, sheets, film, foil and strip " ap lies only to plates, sheets, Jim, foil and strip and to blocks shape, w ether or not printed or otherwise surface-worked (for coloured, merely curved or corrugated), uncut or cut into rectangles further worked (even if when so cut they become articles tablecloths). l Plates, sheets, etc., whether or not surface-worked (includin squares and other rectangles cut therefrom), with ground edges, drilled, milled, hemmed, twisted, frame or otherwise worked or cut into shapes other than rectangular (including square) are generally classified as articles of headings 39.18, 39.19 or 39.22 to 39.26. d

Subheading Explanatory Note. Subheadings 3920.43 and 3920.49 Products of these subheadings are distinguished on the basis of their lasticiser content. For this purpose, rimary plasticisers and secondary plasticisen must be taken toget%er (see Subheading Note 2 to this 6hapter). Primary plasticisers are materials of low volatility which, when added to a polymer, generally cause an increase in its flexibility (e.g., phthalate esters, adipate esters, trimellitate esters, phosphate esters, sebacate esters, azelate esters). Secondary plasticisers, also known as extenders, are seldom.used alone as lasticisers. When present in combination with p r i y plasticisers, the primary plasticisin action wf;l be modified or enhanced. Secondary plasticisers a so act as fire retardants, (e.g., c h k a t e d paraffins) or lubricants (e.g., epoxidised soybean oil, epoxidised linseed oil). -
