HS Code 2713Petroleum coke, petroleum bitumen; other residues of petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals

What HS code 2713 covers

Heading 2713 groups the thick or solid leftovers of petroleum refining. Two well-known goods sit here: petroleum coke, often called pet coke, and petroleum bitumen. People also write this number as the HSN code 2713. It is the same heading.

A fourth code catches whatever is left over. Here is how the heading splits, in plain words:

• 271311: petroleum coke that has not been calcined.
• 271312: calcined petroleum coke.
• 271320: petroleum bitumen.

Calcined vs not calcined petroleum coke: 271312 or 271311

Both codes cover petroleum coke. The only split is whether the coke was calcined. Calcining is a heating step. Coke that has not gone through it belongs in 271311. Coke that has been through it belongs in 271312.

Check the invoice and the lab sheet. They should say which form was shipped. Many buyers search for pet coke without saying which form they mean, so the six-digit code is the clue when you read shipment records.

How 2713 differs from nearby headings

Several close headings in Chapter 27 sound alike. The key question is what the goods are made from and how far they have been processed.

• Crude oil is the raw input, not a residue.
• HS 2710 covers petroleum oils that are not crude, plus waste oils. These are oils, not coke or bitumen.
• HS 2712 covers petroleum jelly, paraffin wax and other mineral waxes.
• Bitumen made from oil goes to 271320. Bitumen found in nature goes to 2714.
• HS 2715 covers bituminous mixtures such as mastics and cut-backs. Once bitumen is mixed into a product like this, it leaves 2713.
• HS 2704 covers coke and semi-coke made from coal, lignite or peat. Coke made from petroleum stays in 2713.
• That is a tar product, not a petroleum residue.

How to choose the right 2713 code

Tariff classification means matching the exact wording of the code. Work through three steps.

First, confirm the goods are a residue of petroleum refining. Second, decide if they are coke, bitumen or something else. Third, for coke, check whether it was calcined. If the goods are neither coke nor bitumen, 271390 is the likely home.

If you are still unsure, try the HS code classifier. This page gives no duty or tax rates. For those, use the official tariff of the country you ship to.
