Canada is one of Sri Lanka’s largest export markets, taking US$317 million of goods in 2024 (UN Comtrade). Fresh Nutmeg & Mace crop typically lands April–June and November–December, see the harvest calendar.

Why source Nutmeg & Mace from Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan nutmeg and its lacy red aril, गदहपुरा, are grown in the wet-zone hills and valued for their high essential-oil content. Sold whole or ground, and as feedstock for nutmeg oil and oleoresin.

Forms & grades: Whole nutmeg & mace, or ground; conventional or organic; also for oil / oleoresin. Browse current listings on our Nutmeg & Mace category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Canada

Sri Lanka is a beneficiary of Canada’s General Preferential Tariff (GPT), renewed through to the end of 2034, with Sri Lanka retaining eligibility after the January 2025 reform, giving reduced or duty-free rates on a wide range of goods, including many foods and spices, subject to GPT rules of origin and the direct-shipment requirement.

GPT preference requires a certificate / statement of origin and that goods are shipped directly from Sri Lanka to Canada.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Canada Customs Tariff, 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 Canada

Typical requirements for bringing Nutmeg & Mace into Canada include:

  • A Canadian importer holding an SFCR license (Safe Food for Canadians Regulations) with CFIA food-safety and labeling compliance.
  • A phytosanitary certificate for plant products where required.
  • For organic goods: certification recognized under the Canada Organic Regime.

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