Why source Coconut Oil from Sri Lanka

Duty & tariff treatment for The UAE

There is no preferential trade agreement in force yet, a Sri Lanka–UAE CEPA is under negotiation. The UAE applies the GCC common external tariff of about 5%, but many basic foodstuffs are zero-rated; confirm your HS line. Dubai (Jebel Ali) is a major re-export gateway into the wider GCC, Africa and South Asia.

A standard certificate of origin is used; there is no FTA preference to claim today (watch for the CEPA).

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the UAE Federal Customs, 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 The UAE

Typical requirements for bringing Coconut Oil into the UAE include:

  • Food registration/clearance via the relevant emirate food-control authority to ESMA / UAE.S standards, with Arabic labeling.
  • Halal certification where applicable to the product.
  • A health / phytosanitary certificate for food and plant products as required.

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