Calcined Petroleum Coke
Calcined petroleum coke is petroleum coke that has been thermally processed at high temperatures above 1200°C to remove volatile matter and increase carbon purity. It falls under HTS 2713.12.00.00 as calcined petroleum coke, a residue from petroleum oil refining used primarily in aluminum smelting and carbon electrode production.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not calcined/uncalcined
Uncalcined petroleum coke remains under 2713.11 as raw petroleum coke without high-temperature treatment.
If derived from coal tar pitch
Coke from coal-based bituminous materials classifies under coal tar products in Chapter 27, not petroleum residues.
If chemically modified for specific industrial use
Chemically treated petroleum coke may classify as prepared chemical products rather than raw petroleum residue.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain a Certificate of Analysis confirming calcination process and low volatile matter content (typically <5%) to verify classification under 2713.12
• Ensure supplier provides residue origin documentation from petroleum refining to avoid misclassification as coal products
• Check for sulfur content restrictions under environmental regulations; high-sulfur coke may require additional EPA filings
