CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS |
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS | 22.CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS ​ The international coal market has been a substantial part of our business with indirect sales to end users in Europe, Africa, Asia, North America and South America. Our sales into the international coal market are considered exports and are made through brokered transactions. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, export tons represented approximately 17.9%, 27.8% and 17.4% of tons sold, respectively. ​ We use the end usage point as the basis for attributing tons to individual countries. Because title to our export shipments typically transfers to our brokerage customers at a point that does not necessarily reflect the end usage point, we attribute export tons to the country with the end usage point, if known. No individual country was attributed greater than 10% of total domestic and export tons sold during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. ​ We have significant long-term coal supply agreements, some of which contain prospective price adjustment provisions designed to reflect changes in market conditions, labor and other production costs and, in the infrequent circumstance when the coal is sold other than free on board the mine, changes in transportation rates. Our major customers are defined as those customers from which we derive at least ten percent of our total revenues, including transportation revenues. Total revenues from major customers are as follows: ​

Customer B | ​ | Appalachia | ​ | ​ | 213,319 | ​ | ​ | — | ​ | ​ | — | ​
​ Trade accounts receivable from these customers totaled approximately $26.3 million at December 31, 2019. Trade accounts receivable from Customer A totaled approximately $12.8 million at December 31, 2018. Our bad debt experience has historically been insignificant. Financial conditions of our customers could result in a material change to our bad debt expense in future periods. The coal supply agreements with these customers expire in 2020 for Customer A and 2022 for Customer B.
