Overview
Nusawara is a charcoal briquette supplier and manufacturer based in Bandung, Indonesia. Every tonne of desiccated coconut, coconut cream, and coconut oil we ship leaves behind a byproduct most exporters treat as waste: the hard, fibrous shell. We turn that shell into charcoal briquette across three product lines — 100% coconut shell Shisha/Hookah charcoal, a hardwood-and-coconut-shell BBQ blend, and a separate sawdust-based BBQ briquette for buyers who specify that raw material — pressed to seven standard cuts or a custom size on request. Our coconut shell briquette already carries a real, original Certificate of Analysis from PT Carsurin, a KAN-accredited laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025:2017): moisture 5.07%, ash content 2.33–2.45%, volatile matter 16.08–16.94%, fixed carbon 76.52–80.61%. This line is open for orders now. Full specifications, packaging options, and terms are in our Charcoal Catalogue below.
Why Nusawara
- Byproduct circularity — the shell comes from our own desiccated coconut, coconut cream, and coconut oil shipments, not purchased separately as raw material.
- A real, original Certificate of Analysis from PT Carsurin, a KAN-accredited laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025:2017) — not a generic spec sheet.
- Three product lines from one supply chain — 100% coconut shell Shisha/Hookah, a hardwood-blend BBQ, and a sawdust BBQ — pressed to seven standard cuts or a custom size.
- Open for orders now, with dedicated market pages for five Gulf-region destinations (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman).

What's Included
FAQ
Coconut shell charcoal burns longer and more evenly than wood charcoal, produces less ash, and has a cleaner, lower-smoke profile — properties that matter directly for shisha lounges where session length and smoke quality affect the customer experience. It's the reason coconut charcoal has become the standard for premium shisha venues across the Gulf.
Yes — this line is open and actively taking orders now. MOQ is 12 MT (one 20ft container), standard across the Shisha/Hookah, BBQ, and Sawdust lines, payment is by T/T bank transfer (50% deposit, 50% on container closing), and Incoterms FOB, CIF, and EXW are all available. Download our Charcoal Catalogue below for the full spec sheet by cut.
Seven standard cuts across cube (22×22, 25×25, 26×26, 33×48, 50×100 mm), hexagonal (25×15 mm), and stick (20×40 mm), all 100% coconut shell for shisha and BBQ use — plus custom sizing on request. See the full spec sheet, including ash content and fixed-carbon figures per cut, in our Charcoal Catalogue.
Shisha/Hookah charcoal is 100% coconut shell (±7,500 kcal/kg, max 2% ash) for the cleanest, longest burn. BBQ Briquette blends hardwood with coconut shell (6,500–7,500 kcal/kg, 5–10% ash) for a more economical grilling option. Sawdust BBQ is a separate raw material entirely — compressed sawdust, not coconut shell (7,000–7,500 kcal/kg, 4–5% ash) — for buyers who specifically need or prefer that material.
4402.20.10 under Indonesia's BTKI tariff schedule — a dedicated subheading for coconut shell charcoal, distinct from the general "other wood charcoal" code (4402.90.00). This applies specifically to our 100% coconut shell Shisha/Hookah line; blended products (BBQ, Sawdust) may fall under a different subheading depending on composition — see our HS code guide in the Journal for the full breakdown.
