Who we are

Two commodities.
One export desk.

Cahaya RV is an Indonesian trading house focused on two things importers ask for again and again: charcoal that burns clean and even, and green coffee that cups the way the sample promised.

We work directly with carbonisers, mills and smallholder coffee collectors, then handle the unglamorous part — grading, moisture control, packing, documentation and booking — so a container arrives with the specification you signed off on, not a surprise.

From yard to vessel

Six checkpoints before it ships.

Nothing leaves without passing each one. This is what you are paying for as much as the commodity.

  1. 01

    Sourcing

    Direct purchase from carbonisers, mills and collector networks. Origin and volume confirmed before production.

  2. 02

    Carbonisation & drying

    Controlled burn for charcoal; sun and mechanical drying for coffee, taken down to the target moisture.

  3. 03

    Grading

    Screened for size, hand-picked for defects, dust removed. Rejects never make it into the lot.

  4. 04

    Lab check

    Moisture, ash, fixed carbon or screen and defect count — results recorded per lot and sent with the docs.

  5. 05

    Packing

    Your bag, your label, your net weight. Palletised and strapped for a sea voyage, not a warehouse shelf.

  6. 06

    Loading & documents

    Container stuffing supervised, photographed, sealed — then COO, phytosanitary and B/L follow.

Inside the operation

Yards, warehouses, and the boring details.

Production and handling, photographed as it is — dust, sacks, pallets and all.

Quality & documentation

The paperwork is the product.

Customs does not care how good the charcoal is. We prepare the full document set before the container leaves, so clearance does not become your problem.

  • Commercial invoice & packing listPer container, per lot, matching the B/L exactly.
  • Certificate of OriginForm A / Form E / Form D depending on destination and scheme.
  • Phytosanitary certificateIssued by the regional quarantine authority.
  • Fumigation & ISPM 15Where the destination requires it, including wood packaging marking.
  • Laboratory analysisMoisture, ash, fixed carbon, calorific value — or screen and defects.
  • Bill of lading & insuranceOriginal set couriered, copy by email on sailing.

Ports, terms, and how it lands.

We quote FOB, CFR or CIF against the port you actually use — not a generic rate.

Before you ask

Questions importers send us first.

What is the minimum order?

One 20 ft container per SKU. Mixed containers are possible for coffee — for example two lots in one box — but charcoal is usually shipped on its own because of volume.

Can I get a sample before ordering?

Yes. Coffee samples are 300–500 g green, roasted on request. Charcoal samples are 2–5 kg. Courier cost is on the buyer and credited back against the first order.

Who handles the specification?

You set it, we write it into the contract, and the lab report is measured against it. If a lot misses the agreed figure, we tell you before loading rather than after.

Do you do private label?

Yes — printed bags for charcoal, valve bags and cartons for coffee, with your artwork, barcode and net weight. Artwork approval happens before production.

How long from order to sailing?

Typically 10–21 days depending on commodity, packing and vessel schedule. Peak season and custom printing add time; we quote the date in writing.

Which documents come with the container?

Invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, fumigation where required, and the lot's lab analysis. Insurance if the term is CIF.
