  "text": "Description of goods\nClassification(CN code)\nReasons\n(1)\n(2)\n(3)\n1.\nCat litter composed of natural bentonite clay that has been dried and treated with an anti-bacterial agent and mixed with activated carbon to prevent the growth of bacteria and odour. The bentonite clay constitutes more than 94 % by weight of the product.\nThe product is sold to consumers in various pack sizes.\n3824 90 97\nClassification is determined by the General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3824, 3824 90 and 3824 90 97.\nThe product has been obtained by mixing of bentonite clay with an anti-bacterial agent and activated carbon. Classification as other clays of heading 2508 is therefore excluded (Note 1 to Chapter 25).\nThe addition of an anti-bacterial agent and activated carbon does not alter the form or the character of the constituent material. Classification of the product under heading 6815 as an article of stone or of mineral substances not elsewhere specified is therefore also excluded (see also Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to Chapter 68, General, third paragraph).\nThe product is therefore to be classified under CN code 3824 90 97 as chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, not elsewhere specified or included.\n2.\nCat litter composed of round and oval shaped translucent granules of silicon dioxide (silica gel). The product includes a visible quantity of coloured granules.\nThe coloured granules are obtained by the addition of a blue dye.\nThe product is sold to consumers in various pack sizes.\n3824 90 97\nClassification is determined by the General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3824, 3824 90 and 3824 90 97.\nThe blue colour is added solely for commercial or promotional reasons but not for identification of the silicon dioxide. Moreover, silicon dioxide in granular form does not pose a threat to safety. Classification under heading 2811 is therefore excluded (Note 1(e) to Chapter 28).\nThe product is therefore to be classified under CN code 3824 90 97 as chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, not elsewhere specified or included.",
