Overview
About coconut fiber
Coconut fibre, or coir, is extracted from the husk surrounding the coconut shell. Indonesian coir is generally supplied as bristle or mattress fibre, compressed into bales for economic shipping.
Buyers evaluate coir on fibre length, moisture, impurity content and bale density. Bale density matters commercially as much as the fibre itself, because loose baling wastes container space and raises landed cost per tonne.
We size the bale format to the buyer's container plan rather than to whatever the supplier baled last, which is where most avoidable cost sits in this product.
Typical applications
- Mattress and upholstery filling
- Erosion-control blankets and geotextiles
- Automotive interior padding
- Horticultural growing media and liners
- Rope, brush and matting manufacture
Compressed coir fibre bales

Per agreed shipment plan
Values shown are typical or target ranges for this commodity class, provided for guidance only. They are not a guaranteed specification. Final parameters depend on supplier confirmation, lot availability and the terms of the commercial agreement between the parties.
Tariff classification
Commonly classified under HS 5305.00. Final classification rests with the importer and their customs broker.
Packaging options
- Compressed bales bound with wire or PP strapping
- Wrapped bales where the destination requires moisture protection
- Bale dimensions adjusted to the buyer's container loading plan
Loading options
- 40ft high-cube container loading for volumetric efficiency
- 20ft container where weight rather than volume is the constraint
- Loading plan agreed in advance to maximise bales per container
Supply and sourcing notes
- Available through a verified supplier network; bale format is confirmed per order.
- Moisture rises during the rainy season and affects both weight and mould risk in transit.
- Subject to specification and volume confirmation.
