Why source Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon from Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a leading exporter of coconut-shell activated carbon, graded by iodine number / activity. It is used in water and air treatment, gold recovery, food & beverage processing and energy storage, a fast-growing global market.
Forms & grades: Granular (GAC), powdered (PAC) or pelletised; by iodine number / activity grade. Browse current listings on our Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon category page.
Duty & tariff treatment for Bangladesh
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are both members of the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) (and APTA), giving tariff concessions on covered products. Sensitive items sit on a negative list, and as Bangladesh produces its own tea, confirm whether your product is eligible.
SAFTA preference requires a SAFTA Certificate of Origin meeting the agreement’s value-addition and consignment rules.
Import requirements for Bangladesh
Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Bangladesh. Activated carbon is traded on technical specs (iodine number, ash, mesh); the EU also requires REACH compliance, and water- or food-grade carbon must meet the relevant purity standards (e.g. NSF, EN 12915). Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with Bangladesh’s customs and standards authority.
Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our export documents checklist for the full set.
