Why source Ceylon Tea from Sri Lanka

“Ceylon” is a globally protected mark of origin for Sri Lankan tea, sold through the transparent 콜롬보 차 경매. Buyers can source by elevation (high / medium / low grown) and grade (BOP, BOPF, OP, FBOP, dust) with consistent quality and a clean, well-documented supply chain.

Forms & grades: Black, green and specialty teas by elevation and leaf grade; bulk or private-label. Browse current listings on our Ceylon Tea category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Bangladesh

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are both members of the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) (and APTA), giving tariff concessions on covered products. Sensitive items sit on a negative list, and as Bangladesh produces its own tea, confirm whether your product is eligible.

SAFTA preference requires a SAFTA Certificate of Origin meeting the agreement’s value-addition and consignment rules.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Bangladesh Customs (NBR), 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 Bangladesh

Typical requirements for bringing Ceylon Tea into Bangladesh include:

  • Import through a Bangladeshi importer (usually on a letter of credit) meeting BSTI standards and labeling.
  • A phytosanitary / health certificate for plant and food products.
  • Confirm the product is not restricted under the SAFTA negative list.

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