Coal; (other than anthracite and bituminous), whether or not pulverised but not agglomerated

HS v2017 Code: 270119

About coal; (other than anthracite and bituminous), whether or not pulverised but not agglomerated

HS code 270119 covers a wide range of coal types, excluding anthracite and bituminous coal. This non-agglomerated coal is an essential energy source, powering industries and generating electricity across the globe. As a major global commodity, the trade and consumption of this coal plays a significant role in the broader energy and industrial sectors.

Production process

The production of coal covered under HS code 270119 typically involves mining, extraction, and processing techniques. Coal is extracted from underground or surface mines, then crushed, screened, and sometimes washed to remove impurities. The coal may also be pulverized to a fine powder, but it is not agglomerated or compressed into briquettes or other solid fuel forms.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 270119 coal is, of course, the raw coal deposits found in the earth's crust. Mining equipment, such as excavators, draglines, and conveyor systems, are essential for the extraction and transportation of the coal. Energy sources, such as electricity or diesel fuel, are required to power the mining and processing operations. Labor, both skilled and unskilled, is also a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 270119 is non-agglomerated coal, which can be used as a fuel source for power generation, industrial processes, and residential heating. This coal may be consumed by power plants 271121 Bituminous coal or 271129 Other coal to generate electricity. It may also be used in cement production, steel manufacturing, and other industrial applications. The coal covered under this code is an important input for the broader energy and industrial sectors.
