Wholesale charcoal for Bosnia and Herzegovina

Deliveries to Bosnia and Herzegovina go by road. The usual route runs from Skopje through Serbia, crossing at Preševo, passing Belgrade and entering Bosnia at Rača or Bijeljina, which serves Tuzla, Sarajevo and Banja Luka. For some delivery points the route through Montenegro is the better option, and we settle the route with the forwarder when we prepare the quotation.

Full 13.6 m trucks carry about 33 Euro pallets. Smaller quantities travel as groupage, which suits a distributor testing a new product or a restaurant group ordering a few pallets at a time. Transit is a few days by road and is confirmed in the quotation. Incoterms are agreed per order, from EXW Skopje to delivered at your address.

Ask your customs representative to confirm the classification, origin documents and import requirements for the actual goods and destination. Dispatch from Skopje does not, by itself, prove North Macedonian origin or establish a preferential duty rate.

Before ordering, agree the invoice, packing list, transport document and any additional product, traceability or safety documents required for your shipment. The broker and carrier should confirm clearance or transit arrangements and responsibilities before loading.

Ćevapi are the national dish and ćumur is what most ćevabdžinice cook them over, so restaurant demand in Bosnia and Herzegovina is steady all year. Sarajevo and Banja Luka ćevabdžinice with long opening hours usually ask for Marabu, whose long burn, indicatively up to around 7 hours and varying by lot, means fewer reloads during service. Restaurants grilling meat over an open fire often choose oak or beech lump charcoal.

Distributors serving the restaurant trade take mixed loads of several types, and retail chains order drveni ugalj and charcoal briquettes in 2, 3, 5 and 10 kg bags with labels in the local language. Wood briquettes for heating are asked for in winter. Private-label bags are possible on request. The range is subject to availability and includes acacia among others.

Give us the product, the quantity in bags, pallets or trucks, the bag size, the delivery city and address, the Incoterm you want, your target date and whether you need private-label packaging. Virovo Promet confirms in writing the availability, the net load, the packaging, the documents for that lot and the commercial terms, so nothing is left to assumption before loading.

Virovo Promet is a family-owned charcoal wholesaler in Skopje, North Macedonia, founded in 1990, exporting full-container loads of hardwood charcoal across Europe and beyond.
