Industrial Grade Anthracite Lumps
Large lump anthracite coal (50-150mm size) with low volatiles for metallurgical use in blast furnaces. Falls squarely under 2701.11.00.00 as non-agglomerated anthracite coal per official definition. High fixed carbon content minimizes impurities in steelmaking.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sub-bituminous with anthracite-like properties
Other non-agglomerated coals with different volatile profiles go to 2701.19 subheadings.
If calcined or processed into semi-coke
Heat-treated anthracite becomes semi-coke under 2704, changing from raw coal classification.
If roasted and used as agglomerates in iron ore
Roasted anthracite for sinter plants may classify as iron ore agglomerates under Chapter 26.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare lump size ranges accurately to support non-pulverized, non-agglomerated status
• Obtain mining origin certificates to meet potential country-of-origin rules for energy imports
• Watch for ash fusion temperature specs in COA to avoid disputes over 'metallurgical grade' claims
Related Products under HTS 2701.11.00.00
Raw Anthracite Coal
High-grade anthracite coal with volatile matter not exceeding 14 percent on a dry, mineral-matter-free basis, mined and supplied in lump form for industrial heating. Classified under HTS 2701.11.00.00 as anthracite coal, whether or not pulverized but not agglomerated. Ideal for steel production and power generation due to its high carbon content.
Pulverized Anthracite Dust
Finely ground anthracite coal powder meeting the ≤14% volatile matter limit, used in cement kilns and boilers. HTS 2701.11.00.00 covers anthracite whether or not pulverized, explicitly excluding agglomerated forms. Provides efficient combustion in pulverized coal injection systems.
Washed Anthracite Screenings
Cleaned and screened anthracite fines (<10mm) post-washing to remove impurities, retaining ≤14% volatiles. HTS 2701.11.00.00 includes washed anthracite as long as not agglomerated. Used in residential stoker boilers and water purification filters.
Metallurgical Anthracite Fines
High-quality anthracite fines (0-6mm) for PCI in steelmaking, confirmed anthracite by volatile limit. Classified 2701.11.00.00 as pulverized/non-agglomerated coal. Low sulfur and phosphorus enhance steel quality.
Egg-Sized Anthracite Chunks
Uniform egg-sized (4-6 inch) anthracite pieces for home heating stoves, meeting strict anthracite volatiles spec. HTS 2701.11.00.00 as non-agglomerated lump coal. Burns longer and cleaner than softer coals.
Filter Anthracite Gravel
Graded anthracite gravel (1-4mm) for multi-media water filters, low volatiles confirming HTS 2701.11.00.00 status. Not agglomerated; uniform density for backwashing efficiency. Meets AWWA B204 standards for municipal treatment.
