Chapter 2702 — Customs Tariff Headings
Subheadings
Products classified under Tariff item 27.02
Brown Lignite Powder
Fine-ground brown lignite powder, a common variety of lignite, used as a soil amendment or low-grade fuel. It is explicitly non-agglomerated, meaning it has not been formed into briquettes or other shapes, and is classified under this tariff item as pulverized lignite.
2702.10.00Dried Lignite Chunks
Dried lignite chunks, with moisture reduced through air-drying, supplied in irregular pieces without pulverization or agglomeration. This product meets the tariff item's scope as non-agglomerated lignite, suitable for direct fuel use in small-scale applications.
2702.10.00High-Moisture Lignite
Freshly mined lignite with high moisture content, shipped in bulk without drying, pulverizing, or agglomeration. This raw, unprocessed lignite is classified under this tariff item as non-agglomerated lignite, primarily used in regional power plants.
2702.10.00Pulverized Lignite Dust
Lignite ground into a fine powder for easier handling and combustion in industrial boilers, remaining unagglomerated. This pulverized form is explicitly covered by the tariff item, which includes lignite whether or not pulverized but not agglomerated.
2702.10.00Raw Lignite Coal
Raw lignite coal extracted from open-pit mines, characterized by high moisture content and low energy density, with volatile matter exceeding anthracite limits. It is unprocessed and non-agglomerated, falling under this tariff item as raw lignite.
2702.10.00Screened Lignite Ore
Lignite coal screened to remove oversized rocks, retaining its natural lump form without pulverizing or agglomeration. This basic sizing does not alter its classification, and it falls under this tariff item as non-agglomerated lignite for local power use.
2702.20.00Agglomerated Lignite Fuel Cubes
Agglomerated lignite fuel cubes are formed by compressing or binding lignite into uniform cube shapes, enhancing storage efficiency and automated furnace feeding. They retain the chemical composition of lignite while being physically agglomerated, which qualifies them under tariff item 2702.20.00 as agglomerated lignite, excluding jet.
2702.20.00Briquetted Lignite Fuel
Briquetted lignite fuel consists of compressed blocks of lignite coal formed through agglomeration processes such as briquetting, which improves handling and combustion efficiency. This product is classified under tariff item 2702.20.00 as agglomerated lignite, provided it is not jet and meets the definition of lignite.
2702.20.00Compressed Lignite Logs for Home Heating
Compressed lignite logs for home heating are log-shaped agglomerated lignite products processed for use in fireplaces and stoves. They are formed by compressing lignite into a solid log shape, making them agglomerated lignite under tariff item 2702.20.00, excluding jet.
2702.20.00Extruded Lignite Fuel Rods
Extruded lignite fuel rods are rod-shaped agglomerated lignite products created through an extrusion process for use in specialized burner systems. The extrusion process agglomerates the lignite, qualifying it under tariff item 2702.20.00 as agglomerated lignite, provided it is not jet.
2702.20.00Lignite Briquettes for Industrial Boilers
Lignite briquettes for industrial boilers are large-format agglomerated lignite briquettes optimized for use in industrial steam boilers and power generation. They are formed through briquetting, which is an agglomeration process, and are classified under tariff item 2702.20.00 as agglomerated lignite, excluding jet.
2702.20.00Lignite Power Plant Briquettes
Lignite power plant briquettes are high-volume agglomerated lignite briquettes tailored for coal-fired power stations. They are produced through agglomeration processes to enhance combustion and handling, making them classifiable under tariff item 2702.20.00 as agglomerated lignite, provided they are not jet.
2702.20.00Pelletized Lignite Heating Pellets
Pelletized lignite heating pellets are small cylindrical pellets of agglomerated lignite designed for use in pellet stoves and boilers, offering consistent burn rates. The pelletizing process agglomerates the lignite, qualifying it under tariff item 2702.20.00 as agglomerated lignite, excluding jet.
2702.20.00Retail Lignite Heating Briquettes
Retail lignite heating briquettes are packaged agglomerated lignite briquettes for consumer heating appliances. They are formed through briquetting, an agglomeration process, and are classified under tariff item 2702.20.00 as agglomerated lignite, provided they are not jet.
