Classification of spent bleaching earth must follow the General Rules for Interpretation by reference to the goods' nature and condition at supply; because the material is a mineral-based, chemically or thermally activated exhausted adsorbent, it lacks the properties and utility of fresh bleaching earth and is not properly treated as a raw or processed clay.
