HS Code 2713.11 – Petroleum coke; (not calcined), obtained from bituminous minerals
HS code 2713.11 is the 6-digit subheading for petroleum coke, (not calcined), obtained from bituminous minerals. It is used for green petroleum coke, raw petcoke, fuel-grade petcoke, anode-grade green coke and cement kiln fuel.
What HS 2713.11 covers
This HS code covers green or raw petroleum coke, which is a carbonaceous solid residue derived from oil refining processes, specifically from bituminous minerals, and has not undergone calcination. It's a globally traded bulk commodity, primarily used as a fuel source due to its high energy content and as a raw material in various industries. Major importers include countries with large cement, power generation, and steel industries, particularly those seeking cost-effective energy alternatives or carbon sources. Exporters are typically major oil-refining nations. Key aspects of its trade involve its sulfur content, volatile matter, and calorific value, which dictate its suitability for different applications and environmental regulations. The market is sensitive to global energy prices, industrial demand, and environmental policies concerning emissions.

Codes often confused with 2713.11
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 271312 (calcined petroleum coke) because the distinction lies in whether it has undergone the calcination process, which significantly alters its properties and applications. It might also be confused with coal (2701) due to its use as a fuel, but petcoke is a refinery byproduct.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
