Duty & tariff treatment for The Netherlands

As an EU member state, the Netherlands applies the EU’s GSP+ scheme for Sri Lanka: duty-free or sharply reduced tariffs on roughly two-thirds of EU tariff lines, covering most teas, spices and coconut products, when origin is proven. Rotterdam is Europe’s largest port and a major re-export gateway into the rest of the EU.

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