Bituminous coal classification requires both volatile matter exceeding 14% on a dry, mineral-matter-free basis and a calorific value of at least 5,833 kcal/kg on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis; classification depends on statutory rank, not use. The Parr formula must use as-received values containing inherent moisture rather than air-dried values. Correct calculations placed seven consignments below the calorific-value threshold. Discharge-port CRCL reports confirmed steam coal characteristics for two consignments and carried greater weight than contrary calculated values. Steam coal qualifies for basic customs duty exemption only if it matches both the notified description and the tariff item; bituminous coal does not qualify merely because of its use. The imports qualified for exemption, and the differential duty demands and consequential penalties could not be sustained.
