　　為了彌補國內煤炭供應的缺口，據(jù)報中國自去年以來首次為進口澳大利亞煤炭辦理了清關。

　　China has reportedly cleared imports of Australian coal for the first time since last year to make up for a shortfall in domestic coal supplies.

　　中國海關數(shù)據(jù)顯示，10月份中國進口了279萬噸澳洲煤炭。據(jù)彭博社報道，這些煤炭可能是之前未獲清關而滯留中國港口的貨物；中國從去年底就沒有放行澳洲煤炭進口。

　　China imported 2.79 million tons of Australian coal in October,Chinese customs data showed.According to Bloomberg,the coal may be cargoes that were previously left stranded in Chinese ports without being cleared;China has not released Australian coal imports since late last year.

　　報道提到，這些煤炭中大部分是用于取暖的動力煤，但也包括鋼鐵廠使用的77.8萬噸焦煤。

　　The report mentioned that most of the coal was power coal used for heating,but also included 778,000 tons of coking coal used by steel mills.

　　海關數(shù)據(jù)上次記錄自澳洲進口煤炭是在2020年11月。上個月，美國分析機構Wood Mackenzie估計，中國港口有大約500萬噸澳洲焦煤和300萬噸動力煤正在等待清關。

　　Customs data last recorded coal imports from Australia in November 2020.Last month,U.S.analyst Wood Mackenzie estimated that about 5 million tons of Australian coking coal and 3 million tons of power coal were waiting to be cleared at Chinese ports.
