Wood charcoal (including shell or nut charcoal), whether or not agglomerated
In plain English
This heading covers wood charcoal, including charcoal made from shells or nuts, regardless of whether the material has been compressed into a solid form. The items are categorized based on their source material. One category includes charcoal made from bamboo, while another covers charcoal derived from nuts or shells. The remaining category applies to charcoal made from any other type of wood.
