Why source Cloves from Sri Lanka

Ceylon cloves are valued for their high essential-oil content and strong aroma, used whole in food and as feedstock for clove-oil and oleoresin extraction. Hand-picked and sun-dried, conventional or organic.

Forms & grades: Whole hand-picked; conventional or organic; also for oil / oleoresin. Browse current listings on our Cloves category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Argentina

Argentina applies the Mercosur common external tariff, and there is no trade agreement with Sri Lanka. Expect IVA, the statistics fee and tax perceptions on top of duty.

Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the treatment for your NCM line with ARCA (formerly AFIP).

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the ARCA (AFIP) tariff treatment, and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our लैंडेड-कॉस्ट कैलकुलेटर. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Argentina

Typical requirements for bringing Cloves into Argentina include:

  • SENASA phytosanitary import requirements for Cloves from Sri Lanka.
  • A phytosanitary certificate from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS).
  • Food registration under the Código Alimentario Argentino (INAL / ANMAT) and Spanish labelling; confirm for your product and pack.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our निर्यात दस्तावेज चेकलिस्ट for the full set.
