Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2701.19.00Same rate: 25%

If sub-bituminous with anthracite-like properties

Other non-agglomerated coals with different volatile profiles go to 2701.19 subheadings.

2704.00.00Lower: Free vs 25%

If calcined or processed into semi-coke

Heat-treated anthracite becomes semi-coke under 2704, changing from raw coal classification.

2601.20.00.00Higher: 35% vs 25%

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.
