One desk can cover every cube format your brand needs. We supply Indonesian coconut-shell shisha charcoal cubes in 22, 25, 26, 27, and 28 mm from workshops in Java and Sulawesi — indicative FOB USD 1,000–1,600 per metric ton as of 2026, grade and volume dependent; a written quote confirms every figure.
Indonesia is the world’s number-one producer of coconut-shell charcoal briquettes, with shells drawn heavily from Sulawesi and briquetting concentrated in Central Java workshops around Magelang, Jepara, Semarang, and the Yogyakarta area. Shisha Charcoal Supplier is part of Juara Holding Group — an Indonesian group operating from Bali across Indonesia since 2015 — so sourcing and sampling run from Bali while production stays in Java and Sulawesi.
Which cube sizes can you order?
Five standard formats cover the world’s hookah market, with 25 mm and 26 mm carrying most of the volume. Piece counts per kilogram vary with press density and moisture, so treat the figures below as planning numbers; the packing spec on your order confirms exact counts per lot.
| Cube size | Dimensions | Approx. pieces per kg | Approx. pieces per 10 kg master box | Where it sells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22 mm | 22×22×22 mm | 90–100 | 900–1,000 | Small bowls, budget retail, short sessions |
| 25 mm | 25×25×25 mm | 64–72 | 640–720 | Global workhorse; standard HMD fit |
| 26 mm | 26×26×26 mm | 54–64 | 540–640 | Lounge favorite; longer, hotter sessions |
| 27 mm | 27×27×27 mm | 48–54 | 480–540 | Large bowls, high-heat blends |
| 28 mm | 28×28×28 mm | 42–48 | 420–480 | Maximum burn time, low-turnover venues |
Custom dimensions are available on request: workshops in Java can cut new dies for a dedicated production run, subject to minimum volume and added lead time.
Standard packaging is a 10 kg master box holding ten 1 kg inner cartons, with inner-plastic or heat-sealed bag options and desiccants — the details that keep cubes crack-free through weeks at sea.
How do you plan a mixed-SKU container?
The minimum order is commonly one 20-foot container — roughly 18–18.5 metric tons unpalletized as of 2026 — while a 40-foot container carries about 25.5 metric tons. That tonnage does not need to be one size. A working example for a 20-foot, 18-ton order:
| SKU | Share | Tonnage | 10 kg master boxes | Role in your range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 mm cubes | 50% | 9 MT | 900 | Core retail and lounge SKU |
| 26 mm cubes | 33% | 6 MT | 600 | Premium lounge line |
| 22 mm cubes | 17% | 3 MT | 300 | Entry-price retail pack |
| Total | 100% | 18 MT | 1,800 | One container, three SKUs |
Each SKU can carry its own private-label artwork, so a single container can launch a full brand family. Some suppliers also accept pallet or trial-lot orders, and flexible MOQ programs for startup brands are a growing expectation heading into 2027.
Which cubes fit heat management devices?
HMD compatibility decides repeat orders. Three 25 mm cubes fit the common lotus-style HMDs with room for airflow — the reason 25 mm remains the global default. 26 mm delivers a hotter, longer session but sits tighter in compact devices. 22 mm suits smaller HMDs and foil setups; 27 and 28 mm are foil-session and oversized-HMD formats where burn time matters more than fit.
If your market is HMD-heavy — the Gulf, Europe, North America — test a mixed sample kit in the devices your buyers use most before locking a container split.
What do shisha charcoal cubes cost FOB Indonesia?
Premium coconut-shell cube pricing is indicative FOB USD 1,000–1,600 per metric ton as of 2026 — grade and volume dependent, confirmed only by written quote. For context, published Indonesian supplier listings as of 2026 showed 100% coconut-shell charcoal offered around USD 950/MT FOB and coconut-wood mixes around USD 550/MT; those are observed market listings, not our offer.
| Commercial term | Typical arrangement (as of 2026) |
|---|---|
| Indicative FOB, premium cube | USD 1,000–1,600/MT — grade and volume dependent |
| MOQ | Commonly one 20-ft container (≈18–18.5 MT) |
| Payment | TT or L/C; frequently 30% deposit, 70% against B/L copy |
| Load ports | Tanjung Mas (Semarang), Tanjung Priok (Jakarta), Tanjung Perak (Surabaya), Belawan (Medan) |
| Transit | Weeks to the UAE, longer to Europe; book ahead of Ramadan and festival peaks |
| Documents | Invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, B/L, fumigation certificate where required, MSDS/SDS on request |
Confirm duty treatment and import formalities with your forwarder — requirements vary by destination.
What specs should the lab report show?
Typical lab-report ranges for premium Indonesian cubes — ranges, not promises, which is why per-lot COAs matter: ash 1.6–2.5%, with under 2.5% marking premium grade and top lots commonly 1.6–2.2%; burn time 2 to 2.5+ hours per session under controlled conditions, with quality 25 mm cubes documented at 90–120 minutes per piece; moisture at or below 5%; low odor and spark-free behavior from natural binders, no chemical accelerants.
Buyers are also shifting toward protocol-backed specs — per-lot COAs, third-party heavy-metal and PAH testing, traceable batch codes — a change visible as of 2026 and accelerating into 2027.
How does ordering work?
- Send your size split. Use the quote form on the contact page or WhatsApp: destination port, cube sizes, monthly volume, private-label needs.
- Test samples. Sample cartons ship to your market, or can be handed over in Bali — meetings near Ngurah Rai/Denpasar are routine, and factory visits to Java and Sulawesi are arranged from Bali.
- Lock the spec. Ash, moisture, and burn-time targets go into a per-lot COA commitment; private-label artwork is approved on physical proofs.
- Proforma invoice and deposit. Commonly 30% by telegraphic transfer; L/C available for larger programs.
- Production and QC. Batch-coded lots, drop-test checks, and pre-shipment photo and video documentation.
- Shipment and documents. Balance commonly settles against the bill-of-lading copy; the full document pack follows for customs clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many 25 mm shisha charcoal cubes come in a 1 kg box?
Roughly 64–72 pieces, depending on press density and moisture at packing. A 10 kg master box therefore holds about 640–720 cubes across its ten 1 kg inner cartons. Counts are confirmed per lot on the packing spec, because a denser press yields fewer, heavier cubes per kilogram.
Can I combine several cube sizes in one 20-foot container?
Yes. A 20-foot container loads roughly 18–18.5 metric tons unpalletized as of 2026, and that tonnage can be split across 22–28 mm SKUs — even across different private-label designs. Most buyers anchor the load on 25 or 26 mm and add smaller volumes of other sizes as market tests.
Which cube size works best with a heat management device?
25 mm is the safest default: three cubes fit the common lotus-style HMDs with airflow to spare. 26 mm runs hotter and longer but sits tighter in compact devices, while 27 and 28 mm suit foil sessions and oversized HMDs. Test a mixed sample kit in your customers’ devices before fixing a container split.
Do Indonesian suppliers make custom cube sizes?
Yes. Beyond the standard 22, 25, 26, 27, and 28 mm formats, workshops in Java can cut custom dies for non-standard dimensions, subject to a minimum volume and extra lead time. A custom size normally needs a dedicated production run rather than a shared-line slot, so plan it as its own order.
What is the minimum order for a mixed-size cube shipment?
Commonly one 20-foot container of about 18–18.5 metric tons as of 2026, and mixing sizes inside the container does not normally raise that threshold. Some suppliers accept pallet or trial-lot orders, and flexible MOQ programs for startup brands are a growing expectation heading into 2027.
