Is Anthracite in Bulk classed as Hazardous Cargo? If so, what is the IMO classification?
Answers:
I suggest you get the Customs Tariff number first, then ask your shipping company if the product is hazardous. If it is, they will get you the IMO number. It is so much easier if you have the Customs number first.
If you are unfamiliar with Customs classification, contact the UK Customs Tariff Classification Help-Line (tel. 01702 366077) who will be able to give you an opinion on what is the most appropriate code for the product. Further detail on classification can be found in Customs Notice 600 (http://www.hmce.gov.uk/forms/catalogue/c. and in The Tariff, available for purchase from Customs and Excise, or available for reference in most main libraries.
