Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Pellets 4mm from Japan
Cylindrical pelletized activated carbon from coconut shells, 4mm diameter, optimized for gas phase adsorption in air purification systems. Falls under HTS 3802.10.0050 as 'other' activated carbon not in powder form or for specific refining uses. Exceptional hardness reduces dust formation in high-flow applications.

Import Tips
• Provide evidence of coconut shell origin and steam activation to distinguish from coal-based carbon
• Test for ash content (<3%) and CTC adsorption values to support 'activated' status during entry
• Avoid declaring as 'black carbon' to prevent shift to heading 2803
