2. Public Customs Record — HMRC UKTradeInfo Listing

Love Logs Limited is publicly listed on HMRC's UKTradeInfo portal — the official UK government trade-in-goods register — under trader ID 1032543. The listing confirms that Love Logs Limited has filed customs declarations (SAD / C21 / C88 equivalent, post-Brexit filed via HMRC's Customs Declaration Service, CDS) for the import of commodities under HS 44029000 — wood charcoal (including shell or nut charcoal), excluding bamboo into the United Kingdom.

The HMRC UKTradeInfo listing for a UK importer of HS 44029000 commodities means that Love Logs Limited has:

• An EORI number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification number) — required for all UK importers post-Brexit. Format: GB + VAT number + 000.
• An HMRC Customs Declaration Service (CDS) account — the modern system that replaced CHIEF for all UK import declarations.
• A registered Importer of Record status for HS 4402 — wood charcoal.
• A trade history file (downloadable as CSV from UKTradeInfo) that lists each commodity code under which the company has filed a Goods Declaration — confirming HS 44029000 as the code under which Love Logs Limited is recorded.

The publicly disclosed commodity on the UKTradeInfo record for Love Logs Limited is HS 44029000 — wood charcoal (including shell or nut charcoal), excluding bamboo. This is the HS subheading that covers hardwood lumpwood charcoal — exactly the product category Love Logs retails as "Spanish Holm Oak Lumpwood Charcoal" on its website. The 5 verified customs records listed in Section 3 below are the publicly visible trade-date entries from that HMRC UKTradeInfo trader file for 2026.

3. 5 Verified UK Customs Records (2026) — Full Table

The table below lists the 5 verified UK customs records for Love Logs Limited in calendar year 2026 — extracted from the HMRC UKTradeInfo trader file (trader ID 1032543). Each row represents a separate Goods Declaration filed by Love Logs Limited with HMRC under HS 44029000 — wood charcoal, whether or not agglomerated (excluding bamboo). All five shipments name Love Logs Limited as the buyer / importer of record.

Source: HMRC UKTradeInfo trader file (uktradeinfo.com/traders/love-logs-limited-1032543). The 5 records above are the publicly disclosed trade-date entries for calendar year 2026. Commercially confidential fields (shipper name, vessel name, container number, gross weight, declared CIF value) are not disclosed on the public HMRC file but are accessible via paid commercial trade-intelligence providers (TurkExim, Panjiva, ImportGenius, TradeData, Datamyne) that aggregate bill-of-lading manifest data published by shipping lines — see Section 5 for the B/L data structure and Section 12 for dataset purchase.

4. Customs Records Analysis — Seasonal Import Pattern

The 5 verified customs records for Love Logs Limited in 2026 reveal a clear seasonal charcoal import pattern aligned to the UK BBQ season (May–August peak), with strategic pre-season stocking in winter and spring. The trade dates are:

• 2026-01-01 — January record. Pre-season stock build for the early-year heating season and to position inventory ahead of spring.
• 2026-04-01 — April record. Pre-BBBQ-season top-up — the typical UK BBQ season starts in May, so April imports land in time for retail demand.
• 2026-05-01 — May record. BBQ-season opening shipment — peak consumer demand for lumpwood charcoal begins.
• 2026-07-01 — July record. Mid-summer re-stock — sustains the peak-season burn rate for both retail and restaurant supply.
• 2026-08-01 — August record. Late-summer re-stock — captures the August Bank Holiday BBQ peak and pre-position for autumn restaurant demand.

Key observations from the 5-record pattern:

1. Five customs declarations in 8 months (Jan–Aug 2026) — equivalent to roughly one shipment every ~7 weeks. This is consistent with a mid-volume UK charcoal importer running one or two 20-ft container drops per quarter.
2. Concentration in spring–summer (4 of 5 records in Apr–Aug) — confirms the seasonal demand pattern typical of UK BBQ / restaurant charcoal retailers.
3. Single HS code (44029000) across all 5 records — Love Logs does NOT diversify into bamboo (4402.10) or coconut-shell (4402.20) charcoal. The entire import line is hardwood lumpwood, consistent with the "Spanish Holm Oak Lumpwood Charcoal" retail product.
4. Consistent buyer / importer of record — all 5 records name Love Logs Limited directly (not via a third-party customs broker or freight forwarder), confirming Love Logs as the importer-of-record rather than a back-to-back trading arrangement.
5. Buyer country is the United Kingdom — all 5 records are UK inbound shipments, not transit or transhipment.

For a competing Spanish charcoal producer pitching Love Logs, the implication is clear: the next likely import window after August 2026 is Q4 2026 / Q1 2027 (winter pre-season stock build for the 2027 BBQ season) — the ideal time to pitch a new supplier relationship is September–November 2026, ahead of the next Goods Declaration.

5. Bill of Lading Data Structure for Love Logs Limited

A bill of lading (B/L) is the transport document issued by the carrier (shipping line, freight forwarder or RoRo ferry operator) that accompanies every commercial maritime shipment. In the United Kingdom, B/L data is captured at the port of discharge — typically Felixstowe (the UK's largest container port, handling ~40% of UK container traffic), Southampton, London Gateway, or the Portsmouth / Plymouth RoRo terminals (for Spain → UK ferry traffic via Brittany Ferries from Santander and Bilbao).

For a UK charcoal importer such as Love Logs Limited, every B/L record in the dataset carries the following fields:

The 5 customs records in Section 3 each correspond to one or more underlying B/Ls filed at the UK port of discharge. A paid TurkExim subscription links each trade date to the full B/L manifest (shipper name, vessel, container number, gross weight, declared value) — see Section 12.

6. HS Code Analysis — 4402.10 vs 4402.20 vs 4402.90

All commercial charcoal — wood, bamboo, coconut shell, nut shell, lump, briquette — falls under Harmonized System Heading 4402: "Wood charcoal (including shell or nut charcoal), whether or not agglomerated". The HS 2022 edition (effective 1 January 2022) defines three six-digit subheadings; the UK extends these to 8-digit (Commodity Code) level as shown below.

All three subheadings carry a 0% UK import duty under the UK Global Tariff (post-Brexit UKGT) — meaning no customs duty is payable on the CIF value of the charcoal. However, the importer still pays 20% UK VAT on the CIF-plus-duty value at import. So a £15,000 CIF container of Spanish Holm Oak lumpwood attracts £0 customs duty + £3,000 VAT (recoverable as input VAT if the importer is VAT-registered, which Love Logs Limited is).

The fact that Love Logs Limited imports under HS 44029000 — confirmed by all 5 customs records in Section 3 — rather than 44021000 (bamboo) or 44022000 (coconut shell) confirms that the company imports hardwood lumpwood charcoal (i.e. natural wood charcoal from holm oak, oak, beech or similar) rather than bamboo charcoal or coconut shell charcoal. This is consistent with their retail product line of "Spanish Holm Oak Lumpwood Charcoal" sourced from the Badajoz region of Extremadura.

7. Spanish Holm Oak Charcoal Supply Chain — Badajoz, Extremadura

Love Logs Limited's charcoal sourcing is documented in the company's own blog post "Why We Decided to Start Importing Charcoal". The article explains that the company chose to source Spanish Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) charcoal from the Badajoz region of Extremadura in south-west Spain — and explains the environmental reasoning behind the choice.

Key facts about the Spanish Holm Oak charcoal supply chain:

• Quercus ilex (Holm Oak / Evergreen Oak) — the dominant tree species of the dehesa agroforestry system of Extremadura (Spain) and Alentejo (Portugal). The dehesa is a UNESCO-recognised sustainable silvopastoral system where holm oak and cork oak provide acorns for Iberian pigs (jamón ibérico) while their prunings and fallen branches are carbonised into charcoal.
• Badajoz province (Extremadura) — the largest single charcoal-producing region in Spain. Other UK importers of Badajoz holm oak charcoal include Globaltic Ltd, Firefly BBQ, Basco Fine Foods, and various restaurant-grade suppliers.
• Carbonisation — traditional earth kilns (horno de tierra) and modern retorts convert holm oak wood into lumpwood charcoal. The dense, slow-growing holm oak produces a high-carbon, low-ash, long-burning charcoal prized for restaurants (Josper, robata, asado) and premium BBQ retail.
• Restaurant-grade — Love Logs' Spanish Holm Oak charcoal is positioned as a restaurant-grade product, suitable for Josper grills, Asado, Robata, Pizza Oven wood-fire cooking, and premium home BBQ.
• Sustainability — the company's "Always Sustainable, Always Plastic Free" pledge and its CSR record (70,000 trees planted, 2,400+ school meals donated) tie into the sustainable dehesa sourcing story.
• UK logistics — once cleared through UK customs at Felixstowe or Portsmouth, the charcoal is trucked to Shrewsbury (West Midlands), broken down into consumer sacks at the Underdale Road trading address, and shipped nationwide via parcel carriers and pallet networks.

For competing Spanish charcoal producers (or competing UK importers) the bill-of-lading dataset would reveal exactly which Badajoz-based producer(s) Love Logs Limited buys from — a critical piece of competitive intelligence that is otherwise invisible from outside the trade.

8. UK Charcoal Import Market Context

The United Kingdom imports approximately 70,000-90,000 tonnes of wood charcoal per year (HS 4402) — a market worth £60-100 million at retail. The UK domestic charcoal industry produces only ~5,000-10,000 tonnes per year (largely coppiced hardwood from Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean), meaning over 85% of UK charcoal consumption is imported. The principal source countries are:

Within the Spanish-importer segment, Love Logs Limited competes with Globaltic Ltd, Firefly BBQ, Basco Fine Foods, Big K Products, Oxford Charcoal Company, Certainly Wood and several other UK-based importers of Badajoz / Extremadura holm oak charcoal. Love Logs' differentiation is its direct-to-consumer e-commerce model (love-logs.com) combined with restaurant-supply and "Become a Stockist" B2B channels — a vertically integrated retail operation that requires consistent re-supply of inbound containers from Spain. The 5 customs records for 2026 confirm that re-supply rhythm: roughly one shipment every 7 weeks during the active trading year.

9. Ports, Vessels & Logistics Routes — Spain → UK

The Spain → United Kingdom charcoal trade lane uses two principal logistics routes — container shipping (via Felixstowe / Southampton / London Gateway) and RoRo ferry (via Portsmouth / Plymouth on Brittany Ferries). The choice depends on order size, urgency and freight rate.

For Love Logs Limited, the container route Valencia → Felixstowe is the most likely default route — Felixstowe being the UK's largest container port and providing the fastest onward truck connection to Shrewsbury via the A14 / M6 / M54 (~4-5 hours by HGV). The RoRo ferry Bilbao → Portsmouth route is competitive for full-trailer loads (a 40-ft trailer carries roughly double the tonnage of a 20-ft container) and offers a faster port-to-port transit (24-32 hours vs 5-8 days) — but RoRo freight rates are typically higher than containerised freight, so the choice depends on order size and urgency.

10. How to Use This Data for B2B Prospecting of Love Logs Limited

If you are a competing charcoal producer (Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Namibian, South African, Nigerian, Indonesian), a freight forwarder specialising in Spain-UK trade, a customs broker, a UK supermarket charcoal buyer, a UK restaurant-group procurement manager, a BBQ equipment distributor, or a wood-fuel trade analyst — the 5 customs records plus the B/L dataset for Love Logs Limited give you the following 5-step prospecting workflow:

1. Confirm the importer — Love Logs Limited is verified as an HS 44029000 importer on HMRC UKTradeInfo (trader ID 1032543). The registered office is The Oakley, Kidderminster Road, Droitwich WR9 9AY; the trading address is 112 Underdale Road, Shrewsbury SY2 5EF; Companies House #12663961. The 5 customs records in Section 3 confirm the buyer is Love Logs Limited directly.
2. Pull the full B/L dataset — subscribe to a commercial trade-intelligence provider (TurkExim, Panjiva, ImportGenius, TradeData, Datamyne) and filter for consignee = "Love Logs Limited" with country of origin = Spain and HS code = 44029000. Each of the 5 trade dates in Section 3 will resolve to one or more B/Ls exposing the shipper, vessel, container number, gross weight and declared value.
3. Identify the shipper — the shipper field on each B/L is the Spanish Badajoz-based producer that Love Logs actually buys from. This is the single most valuable piece of competitive intelligence — it tells a competing Spanish producer whether Love Logs already has a Spanish supplier relationship (and therefore how to pitch: as a back-up, a better price, a different quality grade, or a faster lead time).
4. Quantify the buying pattern — count the B/Ls per year (5 in 2026), sum the gross weight per year, look at the month-by-month distribution. The pattern in Section 4 shows seasonal concentration (Jan / Apr / May / Jul / Aug), implying a re-order window roughly every 7 weeks during the active trading year — meaning the next import window after August 2026 is likely Q4 2026 / Q1 2027.
5. Time the outreach — contact Love Logs 30-60 days before the next expected shipment (so Sept-Nov 2026 for the Q4/Q1 2027 import window). The decision-maker is typically the founder/director (the company is small enough that procurement is owner-managed). Reach via the love-logs.com website contact form, the company's published phone/email, or via a B2B trade-intelligence subscription that exposes the B/L data.

For freight forwarders, the same workflow applies in reverse — identify the shipping lane (e.g. Valencia → Felixstowe on MSC), find the Love Logs consignee, and pitch your own lower-cost or faster-transit alternative route on the same lane.
