Why source Ceylon Cinnamon from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is the home of true cinnamon (진피 (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 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. 현재 세율 확인 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 도착 가격 계산기. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.
