Import Tips
• 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
