Overseas Coal Prices Keep U.S. Exports Low
American coal men say overseas sales fall because prices are low while tariffs and quotas limit access. West Germany imposes a 20-mark import levy after an initial duty free allowance, making U.S. coal less competitive. The European Coal & Steel Community and U.S. exporters cite freight and price gaps as barriers, with Germany’s tariff structure cited as a major hurdle.
