FAQ

Common buyer questions

What is the minimum order quantity?

Our standard MOQ is one 20ft container (approximately 18–22 tons depending on product density). For private label with custom packaging, MOQ is negotiable from 500kg upward on select products.

How long is the lead time?

Typical lead time is 30–45 days from confirmed PO to shipping. Sampling takes 7–10 days. Peak season (Oct–Jan) may extend production by 1–2 weeks.

What are your payment terms?

Standard terms are 30% T/T deposit, 70% balance against B/L copy. L/C at sight accepted for orders over USD 30,000. First order may require full T/T.

Do you provide samples?

Yes. Samples up to 5kg are free — you cover courier (DHL/FedEx). Larger sample quantities can be arranged on a paid basis, refundable against first order.

What is the HS code for binchotan charcoal?

Binchotan and coconut shell charcoal typically fall under HS 4402.90 (other wood charcoal). We provide full export documentation including commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and phytosanitary certificate.

Can you ship to my country?

We regularly ship to Japan, South Korea, UAE, Germany, France, UK, US, and Australia. Some countries require specific import licenses for charcoal — we advise on documentation during the quote stage.

Do you offer QC inspection?

Yes. All orders include our internal pre-shipment QC. You may also commission third-party inspection (SGS, BV, Intertek) at your cost — we coordinate factory access.

Can you private label the packaging?

Absolutely. Provide artwork in print-ready format (AI/PDF, 300dpi, CMYK). We handle printing, die-cutting, and packing. Typical add-on lead time: 10–14 days for artwork approval and print production.
