The end-use of the item would be a relevant criteria in determining the classification. Note 2: Notwithstanding anything contained in Note 1, the following items, will be classified under the relevant description in Category 0: a) Radioactive materials covered under 6A007; b) Any material containing Beryllium or “Zirconium with Hafnium content less than 2000 ppm” as the major constituent, or more than 60% Hafnium by weight, or “Boron enriched in Boron-10 isotope” or Niobium or tantalum covered under 6A008; c) Nuclear power generating equipment or propulsion equipment, including "nuclear reactors", and specially designed for military use and components therefor specially designed or 'modified for military use’ covered under 6A017; d) Simulators specially designed for military "nuclear reactors" covered under 6A017; e) Any alloy with niobium as a major constituent in solid or powder form covered under 8C102; f) Uranium-titanium alloys covered under 8C104; g) Any material containing “Zirconium with Hafnium content less than 2000 ppm” or “Boron enriched in Boron- 10 isotope” as the major constituent covered under 8C111; h) Plutonium and Neptunium covered under 8C112 Note 3: Items specified in Category 6A007.b which correspond to items specified in Category 1A are prohibited for exports. Note 4: Licence applications for items in Categories 6A008 a.13 and 6A008.a 21, which correspond to items specified in 3A401.a, 3A401.b respectively, would normally be denied. GENERAL NOTES 1. Terms in "quotations" are defined terms. Refer to ‘Glossary’ in SCOMET list. 2. In some instances chemicals are listed by name and CAS number. The list applies to chemicals of the same structural formula (including hydrates) regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in identifying a particular chemical or mixture, irrespective of nomenclature. CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers because some forms of the listed chemical have different CAS numbers, and mixtures containing a listed chemical may also have different CAS numbers. 3. The object of the controls contained in this Schedule should not be defeated by the export of any non-controlled goods containing one or more controlled components when the controlled component or components are the principal element of the goods and can feasibly be removed or used for other purposes. N.B.: In judging whether the controlled component or components are to be considered the principal element, it is necessary to weigh the factors of quantity, value and technological know-how involved and other special circumstances which might establish the controlled component
