¹ 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. ² Includes countries with coal exports less than or equal to 50,000 short tons in 2008. * Absolute percentage less than 0.05. - = No data are reported. NM = Not meaningful due to changes of 500 percent or more. Note: · Total may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. 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% of all shipments). Steam coal includes bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, and anthracite. Source: · Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce, "Monthly Report EM 545."
