### Why source Coconut Oil from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a leading exporter of coconut oil and value-added coconut products, from crude and RBD oil to certified virgin coconut oil. Organic and Fair Trade certified lines are widely available, with packaging from bulk flexitanks to retail-ready.

Forms & grades: Crude, RBD and virgin coconut oil; conventional or certified organic. Browse current listings on our [Coconut Oil category page](/coconut-products/).

### Duty & tariff treatment for Guatemala

There is no trade agreement between Sri Lanka and Guatemala, so goods from Sri Lanka enter at the Central American common tariff (MFN) rate, with IVA on top.

Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the current rate for your line with SAT.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the [SAT Guatemala](https://portal.sat.gob.gt/), and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our [landed-cost calculator](/freight-calculator/). We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

### Import requirements for Guatemala

Typical requirements for bringing Coconut Oil into Guatemala include:

- Coconut Oil is a processed food, so MSPAS sanitary registration and Spanish labelling under the Central American technical regulations apply to packaged product; confirm for your product.
- Check with MAGA whether your product needs a phytosanitary permit; processed foods often do not.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our [export documents checklist](/sri-lanka-export-documents-checklist/) for the full set.
