Lead Times & Transit by Route

Because we sell from finished, lab-graded stock — make-to-stock, not make-to-order — an order confirmed early in the week can be dispatched the same week. Sea transit then depends on the route, and the times below are industry benchmarks.

Transit Time By Route

Indicative sea transit from Java to major destination ports Industry benchmark — not our measured value. Method / source: Typical port-to-port transit — varies with carrier, routing, and transhipment

Destination port	Transit (days)
Jeddah	22–32
Port Said	19–23
Jebel Ali	21–28
Rotterdam	25–30
Hamburg	24–29
US East / West coast	20–35

Declaring the cargo as dangerous goods — which it is, as UN 1361 / Class 4.2 — typically adds 1–3 days to the booking. Build that into the schedule rather than treating it as a delay.

Questions

How fast can you ship?

Because we sell from finished, lab-graded stock, an order placed early in the week can ship the same week. Sea transit then follows the route — roughly 19–35 days to major ports.

Does dangerous-goods declaration slow the shipment down?

Only slightly. Declaring the charcoal correctly as UN 1361 / Class 4.2 typically adds 1–3 days to the booking, which we build into the schedule.
