Import Tips
• Verify volatile matter content via lab testing to confirm classification as coke, not raw coal under 2701
• Obtain certificates of analysis proving it's retort carbon or coal coke to avoid misclassification as petroleum coke (2704.00.10)
• Ensure bulk packaging documentation specifies non-agglomerated form to prevent shifts to agglomerated subheadings
