Why source Cardamom from Sri Lanka

Forms & grades: Green pods (bold / AGEB grades), whole or ground; conventional or organic. Browse current listings on our Cardamom category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Peru

There is no trade agreement between Sri Lanka and Peru, so goods from Sri Lanka enter at Peru’s standard (MFN) rate. IGV and the municipal promotion tax are charged on top of the CIF value plus duty.

Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the current rate for your subpartida in the SUNAT tariff.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the SUNAT tariff (Arancel de Aduanas), and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our Rechner für die Gesamtkosten. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Peru

Typical requirements for bringing Cardamom into Peru include:

  • For Cardamom, check SENASA’s import requirements; dried plant products typically need a SENASA Permiso Fitosanitario de Importación (PFI), obtained by the importer before the goods ship.
  • A Pflanzengesundheitszeugnis from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS) meeting the requirements listed on the PFI.
  • Retail-packed product may need DIGESA sanitary registration and Spanish labelling; confirm for your product and pack.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our Checkliste für Exportunterlagen for the full set.
