Coconut Shell Charcoal
High fixed-carbon, low-ash charcoal from selected shells
Coconut shell charcoal is produced by carbonising cleaned shells in controlled kilns, yielding a hard, low-ash lump charcoal. It is bought as activated-carbon feedstock, as raw material for shisha and barbecue briquettes, and for metallurgical and water-treatment applications.

Coconut Shell Charcoal — buyer questions
What fixed carbon and ash content can you supply?
Our standard grade runs at 70–75% fixed carbon with ash at or below 3–4% and moisture under 10%. Buyers with tighter activated-carbon requirements should send their specification and we will confirm against it before quoting.
Is the charcoal suitable for activated carbon production?
Yes — hard lump charcoal of 20–80 mm with low ash is the usual feedstock for activated carbon plants. Third-party analysis can be arranged pre-shipment where a plant requires certified figures.
What quantity of coconut shell charcoal can I order?
Whatever suits you — there is no fixed minimum. We supply single bags and part loads to buyers within India, part-container (LCL) consignments, and full 20ft and 40ft containers for export. Tell us the quantity you need and we will quote it.
Do you supply within India as well as export?
Yes. Domestic orders are dispatched by road from Malappuram, Kerala, on a GST invoice, and export consignments load at Cochin port. The same grades are available either way.
Do you send samples before an order?
Yes. Samples are couriered on request, with courier freight at the buyer's account. Sample specifications are matched to the grade quoted so what you test is what you receive.
What are your payment terms?
Within India, bank transfer or UPI against a proforma invoice. For export, 30% advance by TT with the balance against a copy of the bill of lading, or an irrevocable LC at sight on larger consignments. Terms are agreed per order.
How is it dispatched and how long does it take?
Domestic loads go by road from our Malappuram base; export consignments load at Cochin (Kochi), with Tuticorin available on request. Typical lead time runs from about a week for a small domestic load to 15–25 days for a full export container, depending on grade and packing.
What documents do you provide?
Domestic orders ship with a GST invoice and e-way bill. Export consignments carry the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin as standard, with phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate and third-party inspection arranged where the destination or the buyer requires them.
