U.S. exports of bituminous coal, not agglomerated (HS 270112) totaled $841.5M in July 2026.
Bituminous Coal, Not Agglomerated imports of $16.5M in July 2026 ran 72% above the year-to-date monthly average of $9.6M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataThe US schedule divides non-agglomerated bituminous coal into two commercially critical lines: metallurgical-grade coal (2701120010), used as a coking input in steel production, and non-metallurgical (thermal) coal (2701120050), burned for power generation. This grade distinction drives significant differences in pricing, end-buyer profile, and supply-chain requirements. Canada is the dominant import source, with Colombia and Australia also supplying substantial volumes — a supplier mix that reflects both USMCA proximity advantages and the global seaborne thermal and met-coal markets. Importers classifying shipments must ensure laboratory certification of coking quality supports the metallurgical designation, as the two lines carry different commercial and potentially different duty implications.

CBP expects objective evidence of coking suitability — typically a certificate of analysis showing volatile matter, ash content, and coking index (e.g., Gieseler plasticity or free-swelling index). Without such documentation, CBP may reclassify a shipment as non-metallurgical coal under 2701120050, which can affect duty treatment and any applicable trade-remedy exposure.
Colombia is a significant supplier of both thermal and metallurgical bituminous coal to the US. Importers should verify whether the US–Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement confers preferential duty treatment for qualifying shipments and confirm that all rules-of-origin requirements are met before claiming any preference.
