Product, in the form of powder with the following principal analytical results (percentage by weight):

—	whey proteins

74,3 (78,9 by dry weight)

—

lactose

0404 90 33

Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature and the texts of CN codes 0404, 0404 90 and 0404 90 33.

Because of its protein lactose and milk fat content, which differs considerably from that of whey powder, the product is excluded from code CN 0404 10.

Mushrooms of the species Agaricus completely simmered. The musrooms are immersed in water, to which salt and/or citric acid and/or SO2 may have been added, and have been chilled.

These mushrooms, which are not put up in packs for retail sale, are used, generally, as a starting material in the preservation industry.

2003 10 10

Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature, as well as by Additional Note 1 to Chapter 20 and by the texts of CN codes 2003, 2003 10 and 2003 10 10.
