Subpart A_Production and Consumption Controls
Sec. Appendix D to Subpart A of Part 82--Harmonized Tariff Schedule
Description of Products That May Contain Controlled Substances in
Appendix A, Class I, Groups I and II
This Appendix is based on information provided by the Ozone
Secretariat of the United Nations Ozone Environment Programme.** The
Appendix lists available U.S. harmonized tariff schedule codes
identifying headings and subheadings for Annex D products that may
contain controlled substances.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
** ``A Note Regarding the Harmonized System Code Numbers for the
Products Listed in Annex D.'' Adopted by Decision IV/15 paragraph 3, of
the Fourth Meeting of the Parties in Copenhagen, 23-25 November, 1992.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States uses an
enumeration system to identify products imported and exported to and
from the U.S. This system relies on a four digit heading, a four digit
subheading and additional two digit statistical suffix to characterize
products. The United States uses the suffix for its own statistical
records and analyses. This Appendix lists only headings and subheadings.
While some can be readily associated with harmonized system codes,
many products cannot be tied to HS classifications unless their exact
composition and the presentation are known. It should be noted that the
specified HS classifications represent the most likely headings and
subheadings which may contain substances controlled by the Montreal
Protocol. The codes given should only be used as a starting point;
further verfication is needed to ascertain whether or not the products
actually contain controlled substances.
Category 1. Automobile and Truck Air Conditioning Units (whether
incorporated in vehicles or not)
There are no separate code numbers for air conditioning units
specially used in automobiles and trucks. Although a code has been
proposed for car air conditioners, it is not yet officially listed in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (see category 2). The following codes
apply to the vehicles potentially containing air conditioning units.

Category 6. Pre-Polymers
According to the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized Commodity
Description and Coding System, ``prepolymers are products which are
characterized by some repetition of monomer units although they may
contain unreacted monomers. Prepolymers are not normally used as such
but are intended to be transformed into higher molecular weight polymers
by further polymerization. Therefore the term does not cover finished
products, such as di-isobutylenes or mixed polyethylene glycols with
very low molecular weight. Examples are epoxides based with
epichlorohydrin, and polymeric isocyanates.''
Heading/Subheading Article Description
3901................................................... Pre-polymers based on ethylene (in primary forms).
