Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If higher volatile matter content
If volatile matter >14% and meets bituminous calorific specs, reclassifies to 2701.12 bituminous coal.
If electrically charged for static applications
Rarely, if used as conductive material in electrical energy contexts, but generally stays under coal; 2716 excludes coal.
If peat-based similar product
Peat qualifies under 2702.90 but anthracite-like peat dust might misclassify; true anthracite stays in 2701.11.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include particle size analysis in import docs to distinguish pulverized (non-agglomerated) from briquetted forms
• Comply with dust emission regulations; provide safety data sheets for handling fine particulates during customs clearance
• Test for moisture content as it affects weight declaration and potential calorific value disputes
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.
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.
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.
