This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the coal's calorific value reaches 5,833 kcal/kg or higher
Bituminous coal classification applies when the calorific threshold is met, changing duty rates.
If volatile matter is 14% or less
Anthracite has a separate tariff classification with different duty implications.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the coal's calorific value is below bituminous thresholds to justify 'other coal' classification
• Keep records of the ISO 3405 distillation test or equivalent to support the declared specifications
• Check if the product qualifies for duty relief under any Canadian trade programs for energy inputs
