Why source Essential Oils from Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka produces high-value 에센셜 오일, Ceylon cinnamon leaf and bark oil, citronella, clove, lemongrass and nutmeg oil, for the flavor, fragrance, cosmetic and wellness industries. Price varies widely by oil and grade.
Forms & grades: Cinnamon (leaf / bark), citronella, clove, lemongrass, nutmeg; by GC specification. Browse current listings on our Essential Oils category page.
Duty & tariff treatment for China
Sri Lanka and China both belong to the Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA), which grants tariff concessions (a margin of preference) on a list of products. Not blanket duty-free, so confirm whether your HS line is covered. (A China–Sri Lanka FTA has been negotiated but is not yet in force.)
APTA preference requires an APTA Certificate of Origin for products on the concession schedule.
Import requirements for China
Essential Oils is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering China. Essential oils are traded on purity / GC specifications; cosmetic-use oils follow the market’s cosmetics rules (e.g. EU Cosmetics Regulation, IFRA), and food-flavor oils may additionally need food-safety clearance. Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with China’s customs and standards authority.
Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our 수출 서류 체크리스트 for the full set.
