Subheadings
Products classified under Tariff item 2708.20.00
Anode Baking Pitch Coke
Anode baking pitch coke is a coarse pitch coke derived from coal tar, specifically designed for the baking stage of anode manufacturing. It falls under tariff item 2708.20.00 as pitch coke obtained from coal tar, providing optimal porosity post-baking for electrolyte penetration in aluminum smelting.
Briquetted Coal Tar Pitch Coke
Briquetted coal tar pitch coke is pitch coke from coal tar compressed into briquettes for easier handling in industrial furnaces. It remains classified under tariff item 2708.20.00 as the briquetting process does not alter its fundamental nature as pitch coke obtained from coal tar.
Calcined Coal Tar Pitch Coke
Calcined coal tar pitch coke is high-quality pitch coke from coal tar, heated to reduce impurities for superior anode performance in electrolysis. It falls under tariff item 2708.20.00 due to its origin from coal tar pitch, offering enhanced density and conductivity for aluminum production.
Coal Tar Pitch Coke
Coal tar pitch coke is derived from coal tar distillation, characterized by high carbon content and low volatility, used primarily in aluminum smelting anodes. It falls under tariff item 2708.20.00 as pitch coke obtained from coal tar, meeting the definition in the Customs Tariff.
Electrode-Grade Coal Tar Pitch Coke
Electrode-grade coal tar pitch coke is a specialized pitch coke from coal tar for manufacturing large graphite electrodes in electric arc furnaces. It falls under tariff item 2708.20.00 as pitch coke from coal tar, featuring ultra-low sulfur and high graphitizability for demanding applications.
Foundry Pitch Coke
Foundry pitch coke is pitch coke from coal tar optimized for foundry cupola furnaces and metal casting operations. It falls under tariff item 2708.20.00 for its coal tar pitch origin and coke form, providing high heat output and slag-forming properties in foundry applications.
Green Anode Pitch Coke
Green anode pitch coke is uncalcined pitch coke from coal tar specifically for green anode production in the aluminum industry. It falls under tariff item 2708.20.00 as pitch coke from coal tar, providing the base for baking into finished anodes with known properties.
High-Quality Needle Pitch Coke
High-quality needle pitch coke is a premium needle coke variant from coal tar pitch, featuring a needle-like structure for graphite electrode manufacturing. It falls under tariff item 2708.20.00 as coal tar-derived pitch coke, with a low coefficient of thermal expansion for high-performance electrodes.
Low-Sulfur Pitch Coke
Low-sulfur pitch coke is a premium low-sulfur variant of coal tar pitch coke for environmentally sensitive aluminum production. It falls under tariff item 2708.20.00 due to its coal tar source and coke processing, meeting stringent emissions standards while maintaining performance.
Synthetic Graphite Precursor Pitch Coke
Synthetic graphite precursor pitch coke is high-purity coal tar pitch coke serving as a precursor for synthetic graphite production. It falls under tariff item 2708.20.00 for its pitch coke characteristics from coal tar, critical for high-performance battery and nuclear applications.
