Why source Desiccated Coconut from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is one of the world’s largest exporters of desiccated coconut, prized for its bright white color, low moisture and clean processing. Available fine, medium and coarse cut, conventional or certified organic, in 25kg bags or retail packs.

Forms & grades: Fine / medium / coarse cut; conventional or organic; low-fat options. Browse current listings on our Desiccated Coconut 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 landed-cost calculator. 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 Desiccated Coconut 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 export documents checklist for the full set.
