Import Tips

• Obtain coal analysis certificates verifying volatile matter >14% and calorific value ≥5,833 kcal/kg (dry/mineral-matter-free) to confirm bituminous/metallurgical classification

• Ensure proper documentation for bulk shipments including bill of lading specifying non-agglomerated state and end-use as metallurgical fuel

• Comply with EPA clean air regulations and provide sulfur content data to avoid reclassification or penalties
