Why source Virgin Coconut Oil from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a leading producer of cold-pressed virgin coconut oil, made from fresh coconut kernel, not copra, with widely available certified-organic and Fair Trade lines. Packaging runs from bulk flexitanks to retail-ready jars and bottles.

Forms & grades: Cold-pressed virgin; conventional, organic or Fair Trade; bulk or retail-packed. Browse current listings on our Virgin Coconut Oil category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for India

Sri Lanka and India have a Free Trade Agreement (ISFTA, in force since 2000) giving duty-free or preferential access on most products. Sensitive agricultural items carry quotas, though, for example Ceylon tea (a 50% tariff preference on up to 15 million kg a year) and pepper (2,500 MT a year at zero duty, under an import authorisation from India’s DGFT), and a negative list applies. Confirm your product’s treatment and quota availability.

ISFTA preference requires an ISFTA Certificate of Origin meeting the agreement’s value-addition and direct-consignment rules.

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

Typical requirements for bringing Virgin Coconut Oil into India include:

  • Import through an Indian importer with an IEC (Importer-Exporter Code) and, for food, FSSAI clearance.
  • A phytosanitary certificate for plant products and compliance with FSSAI food-safety and labeling standards.
  • For tea and pepper specifically, confirm available ISFTA quota before shipping.

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