Fuel Grade Petroleum Coke
Fuel grade petroleum coke is a high-sulfur, uncalcined coke used as an industrial fuel in power plants and cement kilns. It is produced from delayed coking units and has not been heat-treated, maintaining its raw state. As it is not calcined, it falls under tariff item 2713.11.00 for uncalcined petroleum coke.

Anode Grade Green Coke
Anode grade green petroleum coke is a low-sulfur, uncalcined coke produced from delayed coking of heavy petroleum residues. Its needle-like structure and low metal content make it specifically suited for calcination into carbon anodes used in aluminum electrolysis. As it has not undergone calcination, it falls under tariff item 2713.11.00 for not calcined petroleum coke.
Calcined Petroleum Coke Feedstock
This not calcined petroleum coke is produced as feedstock for subsequent calcination into graphite and carbon products. It has a sponge-like structure typical of delayed coker output and has not been subjected to heat treatment. Since it is uncalcined, it is correctly classified under tariff item 2713.11.00.
Green Petroleum Coke
Green petroleum coke is the raw, uncalcined residue from thermal cracking of heavy petroleum fractions during oil refining. It has high carbon content and is used as a fuel or as raw material for aluminum and steel industries. Since it has not been calcined, it is classified under tariff item 2713.11.00.
High Sulfur Delayed Coker Coke
High sulfur delayed coker coke is a green, uncalcined petroleum coke produced from delayed coking of vacuum residue. It is used mainly for energy recovery in industrial boilers due to its high sulfur content and low volatile matter. As it is not calcined, it falls under tariff item 2713.11.00.
Sponge Coke Petroleum Residue
Sponge coke is a not calcined petroleum coke with a porous, sponge-like appearance, produced from fluid or delayed coking processes. It is used as a carburizer in steelmaking or as a fuel. Since it has not been calcined, it is classified under tariff item 2713.11.00.
