50,000 Tons of Coal Required by a Verified Buyer in the United States
A verified buyer in the United States is sourcing coal, indicating a volume of 50,000 Tons. Delivery is sought into United States on CIF terms, 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 note specifies type Steam, qty 50000 Tons. Suppliers preparing an offer should be ready to evidence coal on a current certificate of analysis, covering 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), reported against standard ISO sampling and assay methods. At first contact, proof of material and a clear statement of available tonnage count for more than a headline price. 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, here United States; under CFR the seller arranges the vessel through to the buyer's port. Quote Incoterms 2020 explicitly so 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

The buyer has specified CIF 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 is the delivery destination for this coal requirement?
The buyer has named United States as the delivery point. Factor the freight, insurance, and transit time to that discharge port into a CIF or CFR offer, and state the vessel or routing your price assumes.
What coal specification has this buyer outlined?
The buyer's note specifies type Steam, qty 50000 Tons. 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.

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.

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.
