A realistic coconut shell shisha charcoal price list from Indonesia is built around one number band, not dozens of line-item prices. Premium coconut-shell cubes run USD 1,000-1,600 per metric ton FOB — indicative, as of 2026, grade and volume dependent; a written quote confirms. Every size, grade, and packaging option below sits inside that band.
What Does the 2026 Price List Actually Look Like?
Indonesia is the world’s number-one producer of coconut-shell charcoal briquettes, with raw shells drawn heavily from Sulawesi and briquetting concentrated in Central Java workshops around Magelang, Jepara, Semarang, and the Yogyakarta area, plus plants in Sulawesi. Export pricing follows one convention: US dollars per metric ton, FOB Indonesian port. Grade — chiefly ash content — decides where a lot sits within the band.
| Cube size | Grade (typical lab-report range) | Common use | Indicative FOB position |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25x25x25 mm | Premium, ash 1.6-2.2% | Hookah workhorse format | Upper half of USD 1,000-1,600/MT |
| 26x26x26 mm | Premium, ash 1.6-2.2% | Hookah workhorse format | Upper half of USD 1,000-1,600/MT |
| 22x22x22 mm | Premium to standard, ash under 2.5% | Smaller bowls, faster heat-up | Lower to mid band |
| 27x27x27 mm | Premium, ash under 2.5% | Longer lounge sessions | Mid to upper band |
| 28x28x28 mm | Premium, ash under 2.5% | Largest stock cube | Mid to upper band |
| Custom sizes | Per agreed specification | Private-label programs | Quoted within the band per spec |
Every position is indicative, as of 2026, grade and volume dependent; the written quotation is the number that binds. Typical lab-report ranges for premium production — ash 1.6-2.5% with under 2.5% marking premium, moisture at or below 5%, burn time of 2 to 2.5+ hours per session under controlled conditions, and quality 25mm cubes documented at 90-120 minutes per piece — describe documentation ranges, not guarantees.
How Do Packaging and Order Volume Move the Number?
Packaging is the second lever on any price list. The Indonesian standard is a 10 kg master box holding ten 1 kg inner cartons; everything else is a variation priced within the same band.
| Packaging option | What it includes | Effect on FOB position |
|---|---|---|
| Standard 10 kg master box | Ten 1 kg neutral inner cartons, desiccants | Baseline within the band |
| Heat-sealed or inner-plastic bags | Extra humidity control for tropical transit | Slightly higher within the band |
| Private-label 1 kg cartons | Your artwork, barcode, brand story | Higher within the band; artwork approval adds lead time |
| Bulk master box only | No retail inners, lounge-supply style | Lower within the band |
Volume matters as much as packaging. The common minimum order as of 2026 is one 20-foot container — roughly 18 to 18.5 metric tons unpalletized — while a 40-foot container carries about 25.5 metric tons and earns sharper positioning inside the band. Some workshops accept pallet or trial-lot orders, and flexible MOQ programs for startup brands are a growing expectation heading into 2027.
Why One Band Instead of a Fixed Price Sheet?
Because a fixed sheet would be fiction. Shell supply from Sulawesi shifts with the coconut harvest, workshop capacity in Java tightens before Ramadan and festival peaks, and freight markets reprice lanes monthly. A band that stays honest beats a number that goes stale.
For market context: published Indonesian supplier listings as of 2026 showed 100% coconut-shell charcoal offered around USD 950 per metric ton FOB and coconut-wood mixes around USD 550 — observed listings, not our offer. Treat them as a floor reference. A quote far under the premium band usually signals mixed material, higher ash, or thin documentation. One 2026 market report puts natural coconut charcoal at 35-55% less ash than quick-light alternatives, which is exactly what the upper band pays for.
Documentation increasingly decides band position too. As of 2026, serious buyers ask for per-lot COAs covering ash, moisture, fixed carbon, and drop-test compression, plus third-party heavy-metal and PAH testing and traceable batch codes. Lots carrying that file justify the top of the band; lots without it argue for the bottom.
How Does Requesting the Full Price List Work?
The complete list — every size, grade, and packaging combination with current numbers — is sent privately, matched to your destination. Five steps:
- Send your destination and volume. Use the request form on the contact page (name, email, destination port, cargo plan) or message the BD desk directly.
- Receive the current full list. Sizes, grades, and packaging options positioned within the USD 1,000-1,600/MT band, plus a freight indication for your lane from Tanjung Mas (Semarang), Tanjung Priok (Jakarta), Tanjung Perak (Surabaya), or Belawan (Medan).
- Review documentation and samples. Typical lab-report ranges, batch documentation, and sample kits — deliverable in Bali or couriered to your office.
- Fix the specification, get the written quote. The written quotation against your exact spec is the binding number, not the indicative band.
- Confirm terms and ship. Common 2026 norms: telegraphic transfer or letter of credit, frequently 30% deposit with 70% against bill-of-lading copy; documents include commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading, fumigation certificate where required, and MSDS on request.

What Should You Check Before Comparing Price Lists?
Two lists with identical headline numbers can land at very different real costs. Before comparing:
- Price basis. FOB Semarang and CIF Dubai are different animals; confirm which basis each list uses.
- Container math. Multiply the per-ton rate by 18-18.5 MT for a 20-foot load or about 25.5 MT for a 40-foot to see the real invoice value.
- What the ton includes. Retail-ready 1 kg cartons or bulk master boxes; desiccants and inner sealing or bare product.
- Documentation. Per-lot COA, batch codes, and third-party test reports — the 2027 procurement standard arriving early.
- Timing. Sea freight to the Gulf runs weeks and Europe longer; order ahead of Ramadan and festival peaks, when Java workshops book out.
Charcoal moves as general sea cargo, and air freight faces restrictions. Confirm classification details with your forwarder before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the coconut shell shisha charcoal price list show a range instead of fixed prices?
Because FOB pricing moves with ash grade, cube size, packaging, order volume, and season. A fixed public number would misprice either large 40-foot orders or small private-label runs. The USD 1,000-1,600 per metric ton band — indicative, as of 2026 — keeps the list honest; the written quotation against your exact specification is the binding figure.
Does the price list include shipping to my destination port?
No. Every figure is FOB Indonesian ports such as Tanjung Mas in Semarang, Tanjung Priok in Jakarta, Tanjung Perak in Surabaya, or Belawan in Medan. Sea freight, insurance, and destination charges are added per lane. Share your destination port when requesting the list and the BD desk returns a landed-cost indication alongside the FOB figures.
How much charcoal does one container hold at these per-ton prices?
As of 2026, a 20-foot container commonly loads about 18 to 18.5 metric tons unpalletized, and a 40-foot container about 25.5 metric tons. Multiply the quoted FOB rate by those tonnages for an indicative container value. One 20-foot container is the common minimum order, though pallet and trial-lot programs exist for smaller brands.
How do I get the full price list with exact current numbers?
Send your name, email, destination port, and rough cargo plan through the request form on the contact page, or message the Juara Holding Group BD desk on WhatsApp at +62 811-3941-4563 or bd@juaraholding.com. You receive the current complete list matched to your lane, then a written quotation once your specification is fixed.
