Duty & tariff treatment for Germany

Sri Lanka is a beneficiary of the EU’s GSP+ scheme, which grants duty-free or sharply reduced tariffs on roughly two-thirds of EU tariff lines, covering most teas, spices and coconut products, provided origin is proven. Germany applies the EU’s common (TARIC) tariff, so the same GSP+ treatment applies as elsewhere in the EU.

GSP+ benefit requires a valid proof of origin, a statement on origin from a Sri Lankan exporter registered in the EU REX system.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the EU TARIC tariff lookup, 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 Germany

Coir & Coco Peat is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Germany. Coir and coco peat used as growing media usually need a 植物検疫証明書, and many markets require low-EC / washed material and may require fumigation or heat treatment. Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with Germany’s customs and standards authority.

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.
