Forms & grades: Fibre (mattress/bristle), coco peat blocks/discs/grow-bags, pith; washed / low-EC options. Browse current listings on our Coir & Coco Peat category page.
Duty & tariff treatment for Italy
As an EU member state, Italy 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. Italy is a major market and processing center for spices, herbal extracts and food ingredients.
GSP+ benefit requires a statement on origin from a Sri Lankan exporter registered in the EU REX system.
Import requirements for Italy
Coir & Coco Peat is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Italy. Coir and coco peat used as growing media usually need a phytosanitary certificate, and many markets require low-EC / washed material and may require fumigation or heat treatment. Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with Italy’s customs and standards authority.
Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our export documents checklist for the full set.
