Foundry Grade Metallurgical Coke (150-200 mm)
High-quality metallurgical coke produced from coking coal, with maximum diameter exceeding 100 mm and at least 50% retained on a 100-mm sieve after ASTM D 3038 drop shatter testing. Specifically designed for foundry cupola furnaces to provide structural support and consistent carbon supply during iron casting. Meets 2704.00.00.11 criteria due to its size and strength for foundry applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If less than 50% retained on 100-mm sieve after shatter testing
Fails the specific strength requirement for foundry-grade coke under 2704.00.00.11, falling into other metallurgical coke categories.
If imported as raw bituminous coking coal instead of processed coke
Unprocessed coal before carbonization classifies under coal headings rather than finished coke products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide ASTM D 3038 drop shatter test certification from an accredited lab to verify at least 50% retention on 100-mm sieve
• Include end-use documentation proving foundry application to avoid reclassification to general coke subheadings
• Ensure sieve analysis reports match the 'larger than 100 mm maximum diameter' specification to prevent customs disputes
