Why source Nutmeg & Mace from Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan nutmeg and its lacy red aril, 메이스, are grown in the wet-zone hills and valued for their high essential-oil content. Sold whole or ground, and as feedstock for nutmeg oil and oleoresin.

Forms & grades: Whole nutmeg & mace, or ground; conventional or organic; also for oil / oleoresin. Browse current listings on our Nutmeg & Mace category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for The Netherlands

As an EU member state, the Netherlands applies the EU’s GSP+ scheme for Sri Lanka: duty-free or sharply reduced tariffs on roughly two-thirds of EU tariff lines, covering most teas, spices and coconut products, when origin is proven. Rotterdam is Europe’s largest port and a major re-export gateway into the rest of the EU.

GSP+ benefit requires a statement on origin from a Sri Lankan exporter registered in the EU REX system.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the EU TARIC tariff lookup, 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.
