Chapter 27

Coal & Manufactured Solid Fuels

HS code 2701 covers natural coal in all forms, including anthracite and bituminous coal, as well as briquettes and similar solid fuels manufactured from coal.

Lignite (Brown Coal)

HS code 2702 covers lignite, also known as brown coal, whether or not it has been agglomerated into blocks or briquettes, excluding jet gemstone.

Peat and Peat Litter

HS code 2703 covers peat, including peat litter, whether or not agglomerated, commonly used as a soil conditioner or a low-grade fuel source.

Coke, Semi-Coke and Retort Carbon

HS code 2704 covers coke and semi-coke derived from coal, lignite, or peat, alongside retort carbon for industrial and metallurgical applications.

Coal Gas and Industrial Gases

HS code 2705 covers coal gas, water gas, producer gas, and similar industrial gases, excluding petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons.

Coal Tar and Mineral Tars

HS code 2706 covers tar distilled from coal, lignite, or peat, including reconstituted tars, used as chemical feedstock or in construction.

Coal Tar Distillates and Aromatic Oils

HS code 2707 covers oils and other products of high-temperature coal tar distillation where aromatic constituents exceed non-aromatic constituents by weight.

Pitch and Pitch Coke from Tar

HS code 2708 covers pitch and pitch coke derived from coal tar or other mineral tars, primarily used as industrial binders and in aluminium smelting processes.

Crude Petroleum Oils

HS code 2709 covers crude petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, serving as the raw feedstock for refineries and petrochemical plants global

Refined Petroleum Oils and Waste

HS code 2710 covers refined petroleum oils, such as gasoline and diesel, and preparations containing 70% or more petroleum by weight, including waste oils.

Liquefied and Gaseous Hydrocarbons

HS code 2711 covers petroleum gases including natural gas, propane, and butane, whether in liquefied or gaseous form, used for industrial and domestic energy.

Petroleum Jelly and Mineral Waxes

HS code 2712 covers petroleum jelly and various mineral waxes like paraffin and micro-crystalline wax, used in medical, cosmetic, and manufacturing industries.

Petroleum Coke and Bitumen

HS code 2713 covers petroleum coke, petroleum bitumen, and other solid residues from oil refining, primarily used in fuel, road paving, and aluminium smelting.

Natural Bitumen and Asphalt

HS code 2714 covers naturally occurring bitumen and asphalt, including oil shales and tar sands, used for construction and industrial fuel extraction.

Bituminous Mixtures and Mastics

HS code 2715 covers bituminous mixtures based on natural or petroleum bitumen, including mastics and cut-backs, primarily used for paving and waterproofing.

Electrical Energy

HS code 2716 covers electrical energy, used by national customs to monitor and record the cross-border transmission of electricity through power grids.
