Why source Virgin Coconut Oil from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a leading producer of cold-pressed virgin coconut oil, made from fresh coconut kernel, not copra, with widely available certified-organic and Fair Trade lines. Packaging runs from bulk flexitanks to retail-ready jars and bottles.

Forms & grades: Cold-pressed virgin; conventional, organic or Fair Trade; bulk or retail-packed. Browse current listings on our Virgin Coconut Oil category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Singapore

Singapore is a free port: nearly all imports enter duty-free regardless of origin (only a few items such as alcohol and tobacco are dutiable), and the Sri Lanka–Singapore FTA (SLSFTA, 2018) further locks this in. Singapore is a major re-export gateway into ASEAN and beyond.

Duty is rarely an issue; for any SLSFTA-specific benefit a Certificate of Origin meeting the 35% value-addition + change-of-tariff-heading rule is used.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Singapore Customs, 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 Singapore

Typical requirements for bringing Virgin Coconut Oil into Singapore include:

  • Food imports go through a licensed importer registered with the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), with the relevant import permit and labeling.
  • A health / phytosanitary certificate for food and plant products as required.
  • High packaging and labeling standards for retail-ready goods.

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