Why source Nutmeg & Mace from Sri Lanka
Sri Lankan nutmeg and its lacy red aril, الصولجان, are grown in the wet-zone hills and valued for their high essential-oil content. Sold whole or ground, and as feedstock for nutmeg oil and oleoresin.
Forms & grades: Whole nutmeg & mace, or ground; conventional or organic; also for oil / oleoresin. Browse current listings on our Nutmeg & Mace category page.
Duty & tariff treatment for India
Sri Lanka and India have a Free Trade Agreement (ISFTA, in force since 2000) giving duty-free or preferential access on most products. Sensitive agricultural items carry quotas, though, for example Ceylon tea (a 50% tariff preference on up to 15 million kg a year) and pepper (2,500 MT a year at zero duty, under an import authorisation from India’s DGFT), and a negative list applies. Confirm your product’s treatment and quota availability.
ISFTA preference requires an ISFTA Certificate of Origin meeting the agreement’s value-addition and direct-consignment rules.
