Why source Cardamom from Sri Lanka

Ceylon cardamom (true cardamom, Elettaria cardamomum) is grown in Sri Lanka’s cool central highlands and prized for its aroma and bold green pods. Available whole or ground, conventional or organic.

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 Turkey

Turkey grants GSP preferences to Sri Lanka under its “developing country” tier (revised in 2010, so some margins are smaller than before). Many industrial lines benefit, but agricultural tariffs can still be high. Confirm the rate for your specific product.

A GSP proof of origin (Form A / origin declaration) is needed to claim the preference.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Turkey Trade / customs tariff, and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our محاسبه‌گر هزینه تمام‌شده. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Turkey

Typical requirements for bringing Cardamom into Turkey include:

  • Food imports are controlled by the Ministry of Agriculture & Forestry, with a control certificate and Turkish labeling.
  • A phytosanitary / health certificate for plant and food products.
  • For organic goods, certification recognized under Turkish organic rules.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our چک‌لیست اسناد صادراتی for the full set.
