Agglomerated 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.

More Specific Codes
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 cubes are not agglomerated and are in their natural state.
Non-agglomerated lignite falls under a different tariff item within the same heading.
If the product is actually bituminous coal, not lignite.
Bituminous coal has different volatile matter and calorific value characteristics.
