What a charcoal or shisha charcoal importer needs to know before the first order from Egypt.

Before the first order

Check your import licences, customs duties and packaging label requirements. Some countries require extra certificates for wood-based products.

Choosing the right product for your market

A shisha charcoal importer serves cafés and retail; a BBQ charcoal importer serves restaurants and supermarkets. Start with one or two products and expand later.

Why buy Egyptian charcoal?

Proximity to the GCC, Europe and Africa, experience in wood charcoal production and flexible packing make Egyptian charcoal a practical choice for many importers.

Building a long-term supplier relationship

Share volume forecasts, give feedback after each shipment and agree fixed reference specs. That improves quality and price over time.
