China's coking coal imports from all sources in February plummeted to a nine-month low of 8.07 million tonnes, registering drops of 31.4% from January, the new statistics from the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) show.

The steep on-month drop reflected a typical slowdown of importing activities near the Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday that fell between February 15-23 this year. Importers generally make proactive purchases one or two months in advance to avoid the impact of stagnated customs clearance, bank settlements, and port operations
