Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing >50% gaseous hydrocarbons
Gaseous mixtures from gas works fall under 2705, not solid coke.
If aromatic extracts like creosote from process
Creosote and other coal tar oils separate from the coke residue.
If with high ash or clinker content
Ashy coal residues classify as Chapter 26 mineral wastes.

Metallurgical Coke
Metallurgical coke is a high-carbon fuel produced by heating coking coal in the absence of air, used primarily in blast furnaces for iron production. It falls under HTS 2704.00.00.50 as coke of coal, not agglomerated, and classified as 'other' since it is not specified elsewhere in the heading.
Foundry Coke
Foundry coke is a porous, low-ash coke derived from coal, ideal for cupola furnaces in metal casting operations. Classified under HTS 2704.00.00.50 as 'other' coal coke, whether or not agglomerated, due to its production process and fuel application.
Lignite Coke
Lignite coke, or brown coal coke, is produced by carbonizing lignite, used as a low-cost fuel in power generation and industrial heating. It is covered by HTS 2704.00.00.50 as coke or semicoke of lignite, in the 'other' category.
Peat Coke
Peat coke is obtained by heating peat in retorts, serving as an eco-fuel for heating and gasification plants. HTS 2704.00.00.50 includes it as coke or semicoke of peat, categorized under 'other'.
