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 Australia

Sri Lanka has long qualified for Australia’s Developing Country tariff preferences (Sri Lanka has benefited since the 1970s), and many food and spice lines also enter at the general (often free) rate. वर्तमान दर की पुष्टि करें for your specific line in the Australian tariff schedule.

To claim a Developing Country preference, a declaration / certificate of origin is required; many foods are already free under the general tariff regardless.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Australian tariff classification, 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 Australia

Typical requirements for bringing Cloves into Australia include:

  • Australian biosecurity: many plant/food products need an import permit and must meet conditions in BICON (treatment/fumigation may apply); shipments are inspected by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
  • Food standards under FSANZ and the Imported Food Inspection Scheme, plus correct labeling.
  • For organic goods: certification acceptable to the Australian market.

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