How to import charcoal from Vietnam: a step-by-step guide

Importing a container of charcoal follows the same steps every time. Here is how it works with us.

  1. Inquiry. Tell us the product, carton size, destination port and how many containers.
  2. Quote. We reply with a price per container and terms, usually within one business day.
  3. Sample. We send a sample so you can check the grade before the first container.
  4. Contract and deposit. We confirm specs, cartons and loading date.
  5. Production and packing. Charcoal is sorted, packed and loaded at our end.
  6. Booking and loading. We book the vessel, load the container and send photos.
  7. Documents. Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificates go with the shipment.
  8. Balance and release. After balance payment the bill of lading is released.

What you handle at your end

Customs clearance, import duties and inland delivery, unless you choose DDP.
