Last updated: April 2026 dataSub-bituminous coal and other coal types not captured by the anthracite or bituminous headings fall under this residual classification, making precise rank determination essential before filing entry documents. Sub-bituminous coal, the most commercially significant product in this heading, occupies a middle rank between lignite and bituminous coal and is widely used in power generation due to its lower sulfur content relative to many bituminous grades. Accurate rank classification — typically established by calorific value on a moist, ash-free basis — is the key compliance step for importers working with this heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Sub-bituminous coal is the primary commercial product in this residual category. Other types may include certain intermediate-rank coals that do not meet the fixed-carbon thresholds for anthracite or the coking/calorific benchmarks for bituminous classification. The governing criterion is the coal's rank as determined by standardized proximate analysis.
Coal rank determines which SITC and corresponding HTS heading applies, which in turn governs duty rates and any applicable trade-remedy exposure. Rank is established through proximate analysis — measuring moisture, ash, volatile matter, and fixed carbon — conducted by an accredited laboratory, with results typically submitted as part of the commercial documentation package.
