Chapter 27: Mineral Fuels, Mineral Oils and Products of Their Distillation; Bituminous Substances; Mineral Waxes
For the purposes of this Chapter, a "chemical reaction" is a process (including a biochemical process) that results in a molecule with a new structure by breaking intramolecular bonds and by forming new intramolecular bonds, or by altering the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule.
The following are not considered to be chemical reactions for the purposes of this definition.
(a) dissolving in water or other solvents;
(b) the elimination of solvents, including solvent water; or
(c) the addition or elimination of water of crystallization.
For the purposes of heading 27.10, the following processes confer origin:
(a) Atmospheric distillation: A separation process in which petroleum oils are converted, in a distillation tower, into fractions according to boiling point and the vapor then condensed into different liquefied fractions.
(b) Vacuum distillation: Distillation at a pressure below atmospheric but not so low that it would be classed as molecular distillation.
