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 South Africa

A standard certificate of origin is required; there is no FTA preference to claim.
