2. For the purposes of heading Nos. 26.01 to 26.17, the term "ores" means minerals of mineralogical species actually used in the metallurgical industry for the extraction of mercury, of the metals of heading No. 28.44 or of the metals of Section XIV or XV, even if they are intended for non-metallurgical purposes. Heading Nos. 26,01 to 26.17 do not, however, include minerals which have been submitted to processes not normal to the metallurgical industry.
