Import Tips
• Verify the product is manufactured from coal via compression or binding, not raw coal, to confirm classification under 2701.20
• Provide lab analysis or manufacturer specs confirming coal origin and solid fuel form to avoid misclassification as raw coal
• Check for hazardous material declarations due to dust and combustion risks during shipping
