Coal; briquettes, ovoids and similar solid fuels manufactured from coal
In plain English
This category covers coal and solid fuels made from coal, including briquettes, ovoids, and similar shapes. The goods are split based on their type and form, distinguishing between raw coal and manufactured fuel products. Raw coal is further divided into anthracite, bituminous, and other varieties, with each type potentially being crushed into powder but not pressed into solid shapes. Manufactured solid fuels made from coal are listed separately from the raw coal categories.
