million tons went to EU countries, up 1.6 percent; 2.133 million tons to the
United States, up 84.7 percent; and 1.869 million tons to Japan, down 23

dollars per ton to around 150 dollars in October.
Starting from November

rein in the export of commodities that carry high pollution and high energy
costs.
皇冠体育app is the only country able to produce high quality coke
containing lower than 0.65 percent of sulphur, as required by international iron
