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 Egypt

There is no preferential agreement between Sri Lanka and Egypt, so imports follow Egypt’s standard (MFN) tariff. Confirm the rate for your HS line. Egypt is, however, one of the largest buyers of Ceylon tea in the world, with strong, steady demand.

A standard certificate of origin 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 Egyptian Customs Authority, and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our 도착 가격 계산기. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Egypt

Typical requirements for bringing Cardamom into Egypt include:

  • The producer/exporter must usually be registered with GOEIC (the General Organization for Export & Import Control) before food can be imported.
  • Halal certification where applicable, and Arabic labeling.
  • A health / phytosanitary certificate for food and plant products.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our 수출 서류 체크리스트 for the full set.
