Notes
1. Throughout the export schedule the expression "plastics" means those materials of headings
3901 to 3914 which are or have been capable, either at the moment of polymerization or at
some subsequent stage, of being formed under external influence (usually heat and pressure,
if necessary with a solvent or plasticizers) by molding, casting, extruding, rolling or other
process into shapes which are retained on the removal of the external influence.
Throughout the export schedule any reference to "plastics" also includes vulcanized fiber. The
expression, however, does not apply to materials regarded as textile materials of section XI.
