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 Switzerland
Switzerland runs its own Swiss GSP (since 1971), and Sri Lanka is a long-standing beneficiary, a wide range of Sri Lankan products enters at zero or sharply reduced duty when origin rules are met. (Switzerland is outside the EU, so this is the Swiss scheme, not EU GSP+.)
A Swiss GSP proof of origin (origin declaration / REX-style registration) is required to claim the preference.
Import requirements for Switzerland
Typical requirements for bringing Virgin Coconut Oil into Switzerland include:
- Swiss food-safety compliance: residue/contaminant limits and Swiss labeling (often in DE/FR/IT).
