Why source Cardamom from Sri Lanka

Ceylon cardamom (true cardamom, Elettaria cardamomum) is grown in Sri Lanka’s cool central highlands and prized for its aroma and bold green pods. Available whole or ground, conventional or organic.

Forms & grades: Green pods (bold / AGEB grades), whole or ground; conventional or organic. Browse current listings on our Cardamom 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. 現行の税率を確認 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 着陸コスト計算ツール. 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 Cardamom 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 輸出書類チェックリスト for the full set.
