Import from Sri Lanka to the UK: every product, one page →
UK is one of Sri Lanka’s largest export markets, taking US$924 million of goods in 2024 (UN Comtrade). Fresh Ceylon Cinnamon crop typically lands May–November (peeled year-round), see the harvest calendar.
Why source Ceylon Cinnamon from Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is the home of true cinnamon (シナモン（Cinnamomum verum）), sweeter, lower in coumarin and far more prized than the cassia sold as “cinnamon” elsewhere. Over 80% of the world’s true cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka, graded by quill quality (Alba, C5 Special, C5) with full traceability to the estate.
Forms & grades: Quills (Alba / C5 Special / C5), quillings, and ground powder. Browse current listings on our Ceylon Cinnamon category page.
Duty & tariff treatment for UK
Sri Lanka is an Enhanced Preferences beneficiary under the UK’s Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS), giving tariff-free access on around 92% of goods (7,000+ product lines at HS-6), including teas, spices and coconut products, when origin rules are met.
DCTS preference requires proof of origin (a statement on origin / REX-style registration); confirm the current evidence requirements on GOV.UK before shipping.
