Budi Hartanto reviews everything on this site that touches how the cargo moves: dangerous goods and the IMDG Code, carrier acceptance, customs entry, and the country import guides. He is a shipping specialist at PT Coco Reina Global Charcoal, not an outside consultant, and his name appears on a page only where he actually read it.

Sealed and departing
The seal closes the chain of custody: once it is applied at the factory, any later discrepancy in count or condition is traceable to a specific point in the journey.

What I check on a regulatory page

  1. Is the primary source there, and is it dated? A duty rate or a code requirement has to name the authority that publishes it and the day it was read. An undated figure is not a figure; it is a memory of one.
  2. Do the first-party numbers match our own record? Payloads, lead times, incoterms, how the cargo is declared — these come from one place, and a page that retypes one differently is wrong even when it reads plausibly.
  3. Are the limits stated where they apply? Transit bands are indicative until a forwarder quotes them. Carrier surcharges are not binding until booking. A page that drops those qualifiers is more confident than the underlying fact.
  4. Are the claims we never make absent? Charcoal is not exempt from dangerous-goods rules and this site never says otherwise, in any construction. Nor do we publish duty figures for markets where our own policy says the number cannot be relied on.
Placard position
Charcoal moves under the IMDG Code as UN 1361, Class 4.2, and a container carrying it is placarded and documented as dangerous goods rather than as general cargo.

Pages I have reviewed

40 pages (29 under /import/, 10 under /shipping/, 1 under /coconut-charcoal-briquettes/). This list is generated from the pages themselves at build time, so it is what the site actually carries rather than a list kept by hand alongside it.

Container stuffing
How a container is stuffed decides the arrival condition: stack pattern, restraint and the air left above the cargo all belong to the packing plan, not to the vessel.

The rest of the desk

How a page gets from written to published, where our figures come from, and how often each subject is re-checked: our experts and editorial standards.
