Coal; anthracite, whether or not pulverised, but not agglomerated

HS v2017 Code: 270111

About coal; anthracite, whether or not pulverised, but not agglomerated

HS code 270111 covers anthracite coal, a high-quality type of coal that is primarily used for industrial and residential heating purposes. As a vital energy source, anthracite coal plays a crucial role in the global economy, particularly in industries such as steel production, power generation, and cement manufacturing. This code encompasses both raw and pulverized forms of anthracite, highlighting its versatility and wide range of applications.

Production process

Anthracite coal is extracted from underground mines through a process known as coal mining. The coal is then crushed, screened, and sorted to remove impurities and ensure consistent quality. In some cases, the coal may be further processed by pulverizing it into a fine powder, which can improve its combustion efficiency and ease of handling.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of anthracite coal is the natural resource itself, which is found in specific geological formations. Additionally, mining equipment, such as excavators, conveyor belts, and processing machinery, are essential inputs for the extraction and preparation of the coal. Energy sources, such as electricity or diesel fuel, are also required to power the mining and processing operations.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 270111 is anthracite coal, which is then consumed by various industries. This includes 271011 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude for use in power generation, 720410 Ferrous waste and scrap; remelting scrap ingots of iron or steel for steel production, and 252310 Cement clinkers for cement manufacturing. Anthracite coal may also be used for residential heating and other industrial applications.
