Differences in coal prices; Aus vs USA

I'm doing some research on a coal company which has assets in Australia and the US (think something like Peabody)

In Australia their coal went to China for ~US$90/t but in the US it went domestically for ~$US20-40/t.

I must be making a mistake

How can there be such a difference in price the coal quality is about the same- if someone could sell to China for more then double then why would anyone sell domestically in the US?

I know there are infrastructure bottlenecks on the US west coast but am I missing anything else?
