India
The import of steam coal to India, particularly the high calorific value power plant coal imports suddenly subject to higher duty after Indian customs officers classifying the higher calorific value coal as "bituminous coal", industry players says.

Indian customs officers recently defined any coal above 5833 on DMMF basis and Volatile matter above 14 percent as "bituminous coal" which is subject to  5% CD and a 6% CVD. Most of the power plant coal importers India, including Indonesian low GCV coal importers are expected to face risk to pay higher duty.

“Such ambiguity can result in Power Generators having to shell out about 10 percent additional duty which in turn would impact the profitability and or tariff setting, said a power producer from southern part of India.

“Indonesia’s “Ultra low GCV coal suppliers future is expected to be bright due to this new move by Indian customs”, said a coal producer from Indonesia.

If the new interpretation is accepted and continued, then India become largest “premium coal” importer in the world soon.

"Consumers are being asked to fork out high CVD not only on their current imports, but authorities are also asking them to pay taxes with retrospective effective i.e. from April 2012 onwards," according to an Indian media.

In the meantime, an another Indian media said in its report that, “the Union budget may announce a clarification on coal imports meant for electricity generation that would resolve the confusion resulting in Indian customs authorities denying importers of the fuel duty concessions granted in last year’s budget”.

China
Chinese buyers are already in the market after celebrating Lunar Year celebration for more than a week. However, according to suppliers, the bids are from China is not much attractive for suppliers.

Indonesian coal market was almost flat last week and expected some positive correction coming week, a trader said from Kalimantan.
