Coal Buy Lead from a Verified Importer in Australia
An importer in Australia has posted an active requirement for coal. The buyer has specified FOB shipping, with settlement by an irrevocable letter of credit, so responding sellers should be positioned to perform on a seaborne cargo rather than a small parcel. The buyer's own note adds: "Type: Coking Coal; Export Quality". A credible offer evidences coal on a certificate of analysis: the assay (for ore, Fe or metal content, silica, alumina, phosphorus and sulphur, moisture, and size fraction such as lump, fines or pellet; for finished metal, grade, dimensions and mechanical properties), against standard ISO sampling and assay methods. Proof of material, a verifiable load port, and available tonnage carry more weight than price alone at first contact. Quality and quantity are normally established by an independent inspector such as SGS or Intertek, with sampling and a draft survey at the load port and re-check at the discharge port. Coal moves as bulk-carrier cargo, so the offer should name the load port, the vessel class the parcel suits, the laycan, and the tonnage genuinely available, rather than container or packaging detail. Trade terms most often negotiated are FOB at the load port and CFR or CIF to the discharge port; under CFR the seller arranges the vessel through to the buyer's port. Confirm Incoterms 2020 so the point of risk transfer is unambiguous. Payment on cargoes of this size is usually an irrevocable documentary letter of credit, often with final settlement against the inspected content at discharge, which matches the instrument this buyer has specified. A complete first response covers grade compliance against the buyer's note, a delivered price with a clear validity window and any index linkage, proof of material and available tonnage, the load port and laycan, the inspection and assay arrangement, and the bank instrument the offer can perform against.
Frequently Asked Questions About Coal Buy Leads
What shipping and payment terms did this buyer specify?
The buyer has specified FOB shipping and settlement by an irrevocable letter of credit. Quote your price on those Incoterms and set out the documents you can present against an irrevocable letter of credit.
What coal specification has this buyer outlined?
The buyer's own note adds: "Type: Coking Coal; Export Quality". Match your certificate of analysis and supporting documents to these points in the first response, and flag any deviation from the buyer's stated requirement up front rather than after a sample.

Use the Submit Quotation button on this page to send your offer directly to the buyer. A complete quote covers your price and its validity window, MOQ, load port and laycan, and the certifications you can provide. The buyer's contact details are released once you submit a quotation, so there is no need to source them elsewhere.
What HS code applies to coal?
Wholesale coal is classified under a specific HS heading that sets the duty and documentary regime in the destination market. Confirm the exact ten-digit national tariff line with a licensed customs broker before shipment, and keep that code identical across the commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin so the consignment clears in one pass.
Which Incoterms and payment methods are standard in coal trade?
Bulk coal usually moves FOB at the load port or CIF and CFR to the discharge port, quoted on Incoterms 2020 to fix the point of risk transfer. Payment is commonly an irrevocable letter of credit at sight, a telegraphic transfer with a partial advance against shipping documents, or platform-mediated escrow on a first order.
