The following is the most simple way to solve your problem. 
There might be some more sophisticated solutions, but this one works fine:

<xsl:stylesheet>

<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML> 
  <HEAD>
  </HEAD>
  <BODY>
  <xsl:process-children/>
  </BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="department|subdepartment|type|subtype">
  <ul>
  <xsl:process-children/>
  </ul>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="code|product">
  <li><xsl:process-children/></li>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
