Importing coconut charcoal into Latvia from Indonesia costs roughly USD 2,180–2,250 per tonne landed via Riga before duty and VAT, based on IZZY COCO's 2026 FOB Jakarta price of USD 2,000 per tonne plus USD 180–250 per tonne sea freight (Jakarta to Riga, 32–36 days), with no inland leg when collected at the port. IZZY COCO declares coconut shell charcoal under HS code 4402.90; some importers use 4402.20 (charcoal of shells or nuts), so confirm the line with your customs broker. Import duty in Latvia is 0% and VAT of 21% applies at import, with reverse-charge available to VAT-registered importers. A 20-ft container holds about 19 tonnes, so one container lands at roughly USD 41,000–43,000 before duty and VAT. Natural coconut charcoal contains no SVHC and clears REACH. Each container ships with a Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin on request and an independent lab COA. Freight figures are estimates, last updated September 2026.
