Common Questions
What is the difference between cube, flat, and finger charcoal shapes?
Cube charcoal (typically 25mm or 27mm) is the most popular for shisha sessions due to even burn and stable placement. Flat squares suit some bowls where you want a wider heat spread. Finger shapes (7mm or 9mm) are easier to light and preferred for quick sessions. All are made from 100% coconut shell.
What are typical FOB prices for Indonesian coconut charcoal?
As of 2026, indicative FOB Indonesia prices for coconut shisha charcoal range from approximately US$180–320 per metric tonne for 25-30mm cube in bulk cartons, varying by mesh, ash content, moisture, and quantity. All prices are by formal quote.
What MOQs apply to wholesale orders?
For container orders (20ft FCL, approximately 10–15 MT), MOQs are typically 1 container per SKU or mixed SKUs within the same production run. For LCL consolidation, minimum trial orders start around 500–1,000 kg per shape. Exact MOQs depend on production scheduling and packing format.
What quality standards does your coconut charcoal meet?
Our charcoal producers maintain ash content below 3–4%, moisture below 5%, caloric value above 7,000 kcal/kg and burn time exceeding 2.5–3 hours for standard 25mm cubes. We can provide production certificates and laboratory analysis reports on request.
Do you export to the Middle East (GCC, Saudi Arabia, UAE)?
Yes. The GCC and Middle East are primary export destinations for Indonesian coconut shisha charcoal. We have experience with Saudi, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain import requirements and can advise on documentation and container routing.
How is coconut shisha charcoal manufactured?
Coconut shells are collected from Indonesian coconut processing, carbonised in kilns, ground into powder, mixed with a natural tapioca binder, extruded into the desired shape, then kiln-dried and packaged. No chemical additives are used in authentic premium charcoal.
