Why source Nutmeg & Mace from Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan nutmeg and its lacy red aril, Mace, 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 Spain

As an EU member state, Spain applies the EU’s GSP+ scheme for Sri Lanka, when origin is proven. Check the current EU rate for your CN code in TARIC.

GSP+ benefit requires a statement on origin from a Sri Lankan exporter registered in the EU REX system.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the EU TARIC tariff lookup, 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 Spain

Typical requirements for bringing Nutmeg & Mace into Spain include:

  • EU food-safety compliance: pesticide residue (MRL) and contaminant limits, and EU labelling (Spanish); check whether your product from Sri Lanka is under any increased-control listing before shipping.
  • A phytosanitary certificate from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS) where required, with pre-notification via TRACES for products under official control.
  • For organic goods: an EU organic certificate of inspection (COI) in TRACES.

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