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.
Briquetted 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.
Compressed 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.
Extruded 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.
Lignite 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.
Lignite 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.
