DURUM WHEAT THUS DEFINED MUST BE OF A COLOUR RANGING FROM AMBER-YELLOW TO BROWN AND SHOW A TRANSLUCENT HORN-LIKE VITREOUS FRACTURE .

2 . THE FOLLOWING TERMS SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS HEREUNDER ASSIGNED TO THEM :

( A ) " ROUND GRAIN RICE " ( 10.06 B I A ) 1 , B I B ) 1 , B II A ) 1 AND B II B ) 1 ) : RICE , THE GRAINS OF WHICH ARE OF A LENGTH NOT EXCEEDING 5,2 MM AND OF A LENGTH/WIDTH RATIO OF LESS THAN 2 ;

( B ) " LONG GRAIN RICE " ( 10.06 B I A ) 2 , B I B ) 2 , B II A ) 2 AND B II B ) 2 ) : RICE , THE GRAINS OF WHICH ARE OF A LENGTH EXCEEDING 5,2 MM ;

( G ) " BROKEN RICE " ( 10.06 B III ) : GRAIN FRAGMENTS THE LENGTH OF WHICH DOES NOT EXCEED THREE QUARTERS OF THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF THE WHOLE GRAIN .

3 . LEVIES APPLICABLE TO MIXTURES OF CEREALS :

A . THE LEVY APPLICABLE TO MIXTURES COMPOSED OF TWO OF THE CEREALS FALLING WITHIN HEADINGS NOS 10.01 TO 10.05 AND 10.07 SHALL BE THAT APPLICABLE :

( A ) TO THE COMPONENT CEREAL PREDOMINATING BY WEIGHT , WHEN THAT CEREAL REPRESENTS AT LEAST 90 % OF THE WEIGHT OF THE MIXTURE ;

( B ) TO THE COMPONENT CEREAL LIABLE TO THE HIGHER LEVY , WHEN NEITHER OF THE TWO COMPONENT CEREALS REPRESENTS AT LEAST 90 % OF THE WEIGHT OF THE MIXTURE .

B . WHERE A MIXTURE IS COMPOSED OF MORE THAN TWO OF THE CEREALS FALLING WITHIN HEADINGS NOS 10.01 TO 10.05 AND 10.07 , AND WHERE SEVERAL CEREALS EACH REPRESENT MORE THAN 10 % OF THE WEIGHT OF THE MIXTURE , THE LEVY APPLICABLE TO THE MIXTURE SHALL BE THE HIGHEST OF THE LEVIES APPLICABLE TO SUCH CEREALS , EVEN WHEN THE AMOUNT OF THE LEVY IS THE SAME FOR TWO OR MORE OF THE CEREALS . WHERE A SINGLE CEREAL REPRESENTS MORE THAN 10 % OF THE WEIGHT OF THE MIXTURE , THE LEVY TO BE APPLIED SHALL BE THAT APPLICABLE TO SUCH CEREAL .

C . THE LEVY APPLICABLE TO MIXTURES COMPOSED OF THE CEREALS FALLING WITHIN HEADINGS NOS 10.01 TO 10.05 AND 10.07 AND NOT GOVERNED BY THE ABOVE RULES SHALL BE THE HIGHER OR HIGHEST OF THE LEVIES APPLICABLE TO THE CEREALS COMPOSING THE MIXTURE CONCERNED , EVEN WHEN THE AMOUNT OF THE LEVY IS THE SAME FOR TWO OR MORE OF THE CEREALS .

D . THE LEVY APPLICABLE TO MIXTURES COMPOSED OF ONE OR MORE OF THE CEREALS FALLING WITHIN HEADINGS NOS 10.01 TO 10.05 AND 10.07 AND OF ONE OR MORE OF THE PRODUCTS FALLING WITHIN SUBHEADING 10.06 B SHALL BE THAT APPLICABLE TO THE COMPONENT CEREAL OR PRODUCT LIABLE TO THE HIGHER OR HIGHEST LEVY .

( E ) PERFUMERY OR TOILET PREPARATIONS ( CHAPTER 33 ) .

2 . FOR THE PURPOSES OF HEADINGS NOS 22.08 AND 22.09 , THE ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH IS TO BE TAKEN TO BE THE ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME AT A TEMPERATURE OF 20 * C .

" % VOL " IS THE SYMBOL FOR ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME .

ADDITIONAL NOTES

1 . FOR THE PURPOSES OF HEADINGS NOS 22.04 , 22.05 AND 22.06 AND SUBHEADING 22.07 A :

( A ) " ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME " MEANS THE NUMBER OF VOLUMES OF PURE ALCOHOL CONTAINED AT A TEMPERATURE OF 20 * C IN 100 VOLUMES OF THE PRODUCT AT THAT TEMPERATURE ;

( B ) " POTENTIAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME " MEANS THE NUMBER OF VOLUMES OF PURE ALCOHOL AT A TEMPERATURE OF 20 * C CAPABLE OF BEING PRODUCED BY TOTAL FERMENTATION OF THE SUGARS CONTAINED IN 100 VOLUMES OF THE PRODUCT AT THAT TEMPERATURE ;

( C ) " TOTAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME " MEANS THE SUM OF THE ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTHS ;

( D ) " NATURAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME " MEANS THE TOTAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF A PRODUCT BEFORE ANY ENRICHMENT ;

( E ) " % VOL " IS THE SYMBOL FOR ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME .

2 . FOR THE PURPOSES OF HEADING NO 22.04 , " GRAPE MUST IN FERMENTATION " MEANS THE PRODUCT DERIVED FROM THE FERMENTATION OF GRAPE MUST , HAVING AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF MORE THAN 1 % VOL AND LESS THAN THREE FIFTHS OF ITS TOTAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME .

3 . FOR THE PURPOSES OF HEADING NO 22.05 :

A . " SPARKLING WINE " ( SUBHEADING 22.05 A ) MEANS A PRODUCT HAVING AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF NOT LESS THAN 8,5 % VOL , OBTAINED :

- EITHER BY FIRST OR SECOND ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION OF FRESH GRAPES , GRAPE MUST OR WINE , AND RELEASING , WHEN THE CONTAINER IS OPENED , CARBON DIOXIDE DERIVED EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE FERMENTATION ,

- OR FROM WINE AND RELEASING , WHEN THE CONTAINER IS OPENED , CARBON DIOXIDE DERIVED WHOLLY OR PARTLY FROM THE ADDITION OF THIS GAS ,

AND HAVING , WHEN KEPT AT A TEMPERATURE OF 20 * C IN CLOSED CONTAINERS , AN EXCESS PRESSURE OF NOT LESS THAN THREE BAR .

B . " TOTAL DRY EXTRACT " MEANS THE CONTENT IN GRAMS PER LITRE OF ALL THE SUBSTANCES IN A PRODUCT WHICH , UNDER GIVEN PHYSICAL CONDITIONS , DO NOT VOLATILISE .

THE TOTAL DRY EXTRACT MUST BE DETERMINED WITH THE DENSIMETER AT 20 * C .

C . ( A ) THE PRESENCE IN THE PRODUCTS FALLING WITHIN SUBHEADING 22.05 C OF THE QUANTITIES OF TOTAL DRY EXTRACT PER LITRE INDICATED IN I , II , III AND IV BELOW DOES NOT AFFECT THEIR CLASSIFICATION :

I . PRODUCTS OF AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF NOT MORE THAN 13 % VOL : 90 G OR LESS OF TOTAL EXTRACT PER LITRE ;

II . PRODUCTS OF AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF MORE THAN 13 % VOL BUT NOT MORE THAN 15 % VOL : 130 G OR LESS OF TOTAL DRY EXTRACT PER LITRE ;

III . PRODUCTS OF AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF MORE THAN 15 % VOL BUT NOT MORE THAN 18 % VOL : 130 G OR LESS OF TOTAL DRY EXTRACT PER LITRE ;

IV . PRODUCTS OF AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF MORE THAN 18 % VOL BUT NOT MORE THAN 22 % VOL : 330 G OR LESS OF TOTAL DRY EXTRACT PER LITRE .

PRODUCTS WITH A TOTAL DRY EXTRACT EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM QUANTITY SHOWN ABOVE IN EACH CATEGORY ARE TO BE CLASSIFIED IN THE NEXT FOLLOWING CATEGORY , EXCEPT THAT IF THE TOTAL DRY EXTRACT EXCEEDS 330 G PER LITRE THE PRODUCTS ARE TO BE CLASSIFIED IN SUBHEADING 22.05 C V .

( B ) THE ABOVE RULES DO NOT APPLY TO PRODUCTS FALLING WITHIN SUBHEADINGS 22.05 C III A ) 1 , B ) 1 AND B ) 2 AND 22.05 C IV A ) 1 , B ) 1 AND B ) 2 .

4 . SUBHEADING 22.05 C SHALL BE TAKEN TO INCLUDE :

( A ) GRAPE MUST WITH FERMENTATION ARRESTED BY THE ADDITION OF ALCOHOL , THAT IS TO SAY A PRODUCT :

- HAVING AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF NOT LESS THAN 12 % VOL BUT LESS THAN 15 % VOL , AND

- OBTAINED BY THE ADDITION TO UNFERMENTED GRAPE MUST HAVING A NATURAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF NOT LESS THAN 8,5 % VOL OF A PRODUCT DERIVED FROM THE DISTILLATION OF WINE ;

( B ) WINE FORTIFIED FOR DISTILLATION , THAT IS TO SAY A PRODUCT :

- HAVING AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF NOT LESS THAN 18 % VOL BUT NOT MORE THAN 24 % VOL ,

- OBTAINED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE ADDITION TO WINE CONTAINING NO RESIDUAL SUGAR OF AN UNRECTIFIED PRODUCT DERIVED FROM THE DISTILLATION OF WINE AND HAVING A MAXIMUM ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF 86 % VOL , AND

- HAVING A MAXIMUM VOLATILE ACIDITY OF 2,40 G/L , EXPRESSED AS ACETIC ACID ;

( C ) LIQUEUR WINE , THAT IS TO SAY A PRODUCT :

- HAVING A TOTAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF NOT LESS THAN 17,5 % VOL AND AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF NOT LESS THAN 15 % VOL BUT NOT MORE THAN 22 % VOL , AND

- OBTAINED FROM GRAPE MUST OR WINE , WHICH MUST COME FROM VINE VARIETIES APPROVED IN THE THIRD COUNTRY OF ORIGIN FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LIQUEUR WINE AND HAVE A MINIMUM NATURAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF 12 % VOL .

- BY FREEZING , OR

- BY THE ADDITION DURING OR AFTER FERMENTATION

- OF A PRODUCT DERIVED FROM THE DISTILLATION OF WINE , OR

- OF CONCENTRATED GRAPE MUST OR , IN THE CASE OF CERTAIN QUALITY LIQUEUR WINES APPEARING ON A LIST TO BE ADOPTED OF WINES FOR WHICH SUCH PRACTICE IS TRADITIONAL , OF GRAPE MUST CONCENTRATED BY DIRECT HEAT , WHICH , APART FROM THIS OPERATION , CORRESPONDS TO THE DEFINITION OF CONCENTRATED GRAPE MUST , OR

- OF A MIXTURE OF THESE PRODUCTS .

HOWEVER , CERTAIN QUALITY LIQUEUR WINES APPEARING ON A LIST TO BE ADOPTED MAY BE OBTAINED FROM UNFERMENTED FRESH GRAPE MUST WHICH DOES NOT NEED TO HAVE A MINIMUM NATURAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF 12 % VOL .

5 . FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUBHEADING 22.07 A , THE EXPRESSION " PIQUETTE " MEANS THE PRODUCT OBTAINED BY THE FERMENTATION OF UNTREATED GRAPE MARC MACERATED IN WATER OR BY THE EXTRACTION OF FERMENTED GRAPE MARC WITH WATER .
