U.S. exports of metallurgical grade coal (End-Use 11010) totaled $583.7M in July 2026, traded with 47 countries.
Last updated: July 2026 dataMetallurgical coal — also called coking coal — exported from the United States is a critical steelmaking input, valued for its coking properties (volatile matter content, coke strength after reaction) rather than its heat value alone. US Appalachian and interior basin met coal competes in global seaborne markets primarily on quality specifications, making rank and coking quality the dominant commercial differentiators. Export volumes are sensitive to global steel production cycles and blast-furnace capacity utilization among major steel-producing nations.

Metallurgical (coking) coal is distinguished by its ability to form coke when heated in the absence of air — a property driven by volatile matter content, fluidity, and ash levels. Thermal coal is classified and priced on calorific value for power generation. The distinction matters for end-use reporting and for buyers' quality specifications, as met coal commands a separate price benchmark from steam coal.
Standard export documentation includes a Shipper's Export Declaration (EEI filing in AES), commercial invoice, bill of lading, and a certificate of origin. Many buyers also require a quality certificate from an independent inspection laboratory confirming coking parameters such as ash content, sulfur, volatile matter, and coke strength after reaction (CSR). Destination-country import requirements vary and should be confirmed with the receiving party.
