HS-4 · Heading
2713 — Petroleum coke, petroleum bitumen; other residues of petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals
Chapter 27: Mineral fuels, oils
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2713 when importing or exporting products like petroleum coke or petroleum bitumen. For instance, if you’re shipping uncalcined petroleum coke from a refinery to a manufacturing plant, this heading applies directly.
Choosing between HS-6 271311 and HS-6 271312 depends on whether the petroleum coke is calcined. If your shipment consists of uncalcined coke, classify it under 271311. If it has been calcined, use 271312 instead.
For shipments of petroleum bitumen, you'll use HS-6 271320. This subheading is specifically for bitumen obtained from bituminous minerals. If your product is a residue from petroleum oils, then HS-6 271390 is the correct classification.
Each subheading under HS-4 2713 targets specific forms of petroleum products. Ensure you verify the state of the product—calcined vs. uncalcined coke or whether it’s bitumen or residues—to select the right code.
