Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If composed primarily of wood or wood waste rather than lignite
Wood pellets or agglomerated wood fuels are classified in Chapter 44 for fuel wood and pellets.
If for higher-grade bituminous equivalents with >14% volatile matter
Agglomerated bituminous coal meeting specific volatile and calorific thresholds uses 2701.12.
If processed into coke through carbonization
Coke and semi-coke from lignite shifts to heading 2704 after high-temperature treatment.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide lab tests confirming lignite composition (low calorific value) to differentiate from wood pellets under Chapter 44
• Label shipments clearly as 'agglomerated lignite' to prevent customs confusion with biomass fuels
• Check for spontaneous combustion risks; use ventilated containers per IMDG Code
