ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) Silicon dioxide (also called βsilica gelβ) in the form of small transparent granules of 0,5 to 1,5Β mm in diameter and packed in paper sachets or in plastic capsules that are water-vapour-permeable. The silicon dioxide absorbs moisture and is presented to be used, for example, to protect and preserve medicines or to keep goods dry during shipment. 3824Β 90Β 96 Classification is determined by the General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 3824 , 3824Β 90 and 3824Β 90Β 96 . Classification under heading 2811 is excluded because the silica gel, packed in paper sachets or in plastic capsules, is intended for a specific use rather than general use and therefore cannot be considered a separate chemically defined compound of Chapter 28. It is therefore to be classified in CN code 3824Β 90Β 96 as other chemical products not elsewhere specified or included.
