Hexagonal Bamboo Charcoal for BBQ from China
Hexagonal bamboo charcoal lumps are produced by pyrolyzing moso bamboo culms into hexagonal shapes, designed for high-heat barbecuing with minimal ash. They are unagglomerated wood charcoal, falling under heading 44.02, and are not shell or nut charcoal, so they are classified under this tariff item.

Import Tips
• Ensure the charcoal is not agglomerated and contains no binder, as this affects classification
• Provide evidence of the bamboo source (e.g
• Phyllostachys edulis) in commercial documents
• Declare the product as lump charcoal, not as briquettes or pellets, to match the physical form
