Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If calorific value meets bituminous threshold
Exceeds 14% volatile matter and ≥5,833 kcal/kg (moist, mineral-matter-free), shifting to bituminous coal subheading.
If manufactured into briquettes or ovoids
Agglomeration via binding process moves it from non-agglomerated coal to solid fuels heading.
If further processed into coke
Coke is carbonized coal for metallurgical use, classified separately under peat and coke heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain lab certification of volatile matter content (dry, mineral-matter-free basis) to confirm 'other coal' status excluding anthracite/bituminous
• Declare moisture and calorific value accurately; provide mining origin docs to avoid reclassification
