Limitations

What this release cannot prove

  • HS 270112 is not a metallurgical-coal price series. It can include bituminous coal with different end uses and qualities, so this page labels it only as a Canadian trade proxy.
  • Customs values and quantities are statistical records. Their ratio is a calculated customs unit value, not a spot price, benchmark, offer, quotation, or proof of available supply.
  • Current-year CIMT data are year to date and can be revised in later releases.
  • The summary includes only 270112 observations reported in metric tonnes (TNE); records in any other unit are excluded.
