U.S. imports of briquettes, ovoids & similar solid fuels manufactured from coal (SITC 32210) totaled $12K in July 2026, traded with 1 country.
Briquettes, Ovoids & Similar Solid Fuels Manufactured from Coal imports of $12K in July 2026 ran 54% below the year-to-date monthly average of $26K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataManufactured solid fuels — briquettes, ovoids, and similar formed products — are produced by compressing coal fines or slack with or without a binder, creating a distinct product class that is classified separately from raw or pulverized coal. The agglomeration process changes the physical form and combustion characteristics, making these products better suited for residential heating, barbecue, and small-scale industrial applications where consistent size and burn rate matter. Importers should note that the manufacturing process, not the source coal rank, drives classification here, so a briquette made from bituminous coal fines is captured in this heading rather than in the bituminous coal heading.

No. Once coal of any rank is agglomerated into briquettes, ovoids, or similar formed fuels, the product is classified under the manufactured solid fuels heading regardless of whether the source material was anthracite, bituminous, or sub-bituminous coal. The physical transformation into an agglomerated form is the controlling classification criterion.
Generally, small amounts of binder used solely to hold the briquette together do not change the classification, as the product remains a manufactured solid fuel from coal. However, if additives are present in quantities that alter the product's essential character — for example, making it primarily a chemical product — reclassification may be warranted, and consultation with a licensed customs broker is advisable.
