Anthracite Coal, Not Agglomerated

Anthracite is the highest-rank, lowest-volatile coal grade, prized for its high carbon content and clean-burning properties in metallurgical, filtration, and specialty heating applications. All US imports enter under tariff line 2701110000, whether pulverized or in lump form, as long as the coal is not agglomerated into briquettes or similar shapes. Peru and the United Kingdom are the leading suppliers to the US market, with China, Mexico, and Canada also contributing volumes. Buyers should note that anthracite's distinct rank and quality specifications often drive sourcing decisions independent of price alone.
