U.S. Energy Information Administration | Quarterly Coal Report, January - March 2024

* Based on the U.S. - Canada Free Trade Agreement; as of January 1990, the U.S. Department of Commerce began reporting statistics on U.S. exports to Canada based on

information on imports provided monthly by the Canadian government.

** Includes countries with coal exports less than or equal to 50,000 short tons in 2023.

- = No data reported.

NM = Not meaningful due to changes of 500 percent or more.

s = Absolute percentage less than 0.05.

Note: Average price is based on the free alongside ship (f.a.s.) value, including value for shipments of specialty coal not used as a fuel source (about 0.05 percent of all

shipments). Total may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
