Why source Coconut Oil from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a leading exporter of coconut oil and value-added coconut products, from crude and RBD oil to certified virgin coconut oil. Organic and Fair Trade certified lines are widely available, with packaging from bulk flexitanks to retail-ready.

Forms & grades: Crude, RBD and virgin coconut oil; conventional or certified organic. Browse current listings on our Coconut Oil category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Iraq

There is no preferential agreement between Sri Lanka and Iraq, so imports follow Iraq’s standard (MFN) tariff. Confirm the rate for your HS line. Iraq is, however, one of the largest export markets for Ceylon tea, with strong, long-standing demand.

A standard certificate of origin (often legalized) is required; there is no FTA preference to claim.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Iraq General Commission for Customs, 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 Iraq

Typical requirements for bringing Coconut Oil into Iraq include:

  • Conformity to COSQC (Iraqi standards) and Arabic labeling for food.
  • Halal certification where applicable, and a health / phytosanitary certificate.
  • Documents are often subject to legalization / attestation. Confirm the current requirements with your buyer.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our export documents checklist for the full set.
