Q: Is Coconut Oil from Sri Lanka duty-free into Germany?

Germany applies the EU’s common (TARIC) tariff, so the same GSP+ treatment applies as elsewhere in the EU.

Q: What does Coconut Oil from Sri Lanka cost?

Indicatively $1.75–2.30 / kg FOB, depending on grade, volume and certification.

Q: How long does shipping from Colombo take?

Roughly 3.5–4.5 weeks by sea from Colombo to Hamburg/Bremerhaven; air freight a few days for samples and high-value lots.
