2. Factors Influencing Prices

- Production Method: Lump charcoal (made from whole wood pieces) is often pricier than briquettes (compressed charcoal dust).

Navigating Shipping Logistics
Shipping charcoal globally involves several considerations:
1. Packaging and Weight
- Bag Sizes: Charcoal bags come in various sizes (e.g., 5 kg, 10 kg, or 20 kg). Choose based on your market demand and shipping capacity.
- Container Weight Limits: Be aware of weight restrictions for shipping containers. Efficiently utilize space without exceeding weight limits.
2. Shipping Methods
- Containerized Shipping: Ideal for bulk orders. Full container loads (FCL) offer cost advantages.
- Less Than Container Load (LCL): Suitable for smaller quantities. Shared containers may be cost-effective.
3. Documentation
- Export Documentation: Ensure compliance with export regulations. Bills of lading, certificates of origin, and customs declarations are crucial.
- Incoterms: Clarify shipping responsibilities (e.g., FOB, CIF, EXW) to avoid misunderstandings.
