Last updated: April 2026 dataSub-bituminous coal (2701190010) and other residual non-agglomerated coals (2701190050) occupy this heading, capturing lower-rank coals that fall between lignite and bituminous grades in energy content and moisture. Sub-bituminous coal is a major fuel for power generation in regions where it is mined domestically, but US import volumes are more modest and sourced primarily from Colombia and Canada. The NESOI line also catches specialty or transitional-rank coals that do not meet the specific definitions of anthracite or bituminous, making accurate rank testing essential before entry. Importers should be aware that coal from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, adding cost risk for any origin-diversification strategy that includes Chinese supply.

Classification turns on calorific value and moisture content as defined in the HTS schedule notes, typically referencing ASTM or ISO rank standards. Sub-bituminous coal generally has a gross calorific value between approximately 19 and 24 MJ/kg (moist, ash-free basis). A laboratory rank analysis is the standard supporting document for CBP classification review.
Yes. A shipment blending coals of different ranks could be classified by the predominant component or challenged by CBP as misclassified if the blend's measured properties align with a more specific heading (e.g., bituminous). Importers handling blended or transitional-rank coals should obtain binding rulings or consult a licensed customs broker to reduce reclassification risk.
