HSN Code Details
Unlike HSN 27011280, which covers anthracite of a higher calorific value, HSN 27011290 refers to lower‑grade bituminous coal that does not meet the stricter specifications for premium fuel. It is a solid fossil fuel composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen, and sulfur, typically used after basic processing.
When shipping this coal internationally, exporters must secure a CIMS registration certificate and ensure the cargo is loaded in sealed bulk carriers with moisture‑proof liners to meet buyer specifications; the product is freely exportable from India without a license.
