Why source Cloves from Sri Lanka

Ceylon cloves are valued for their high essential-oil content and strong aroma, used whole in food and as feedstock for clove-oil and oleoresin extraction. Hand-picked and sun-dried, conventional or organic.

Forms & grades: Whole hand-picked; conventional or organic; also for oil / oleoresin. Browse current listings on our Cloves category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Indonesia

There is no bilateral FTA between Sri Lanka and Indonesia, so imports follow Indonesia’s standard (MFN) tariff. Confirm your HS line. With a huge population, Indonesia is a large and growing market for imported food and ingredients.

A standard certificate of origin is used; there is no FTA preference to claim.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Indonesia Customs (DJBC), and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our landed-cost calculator. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Indonesia

Typical requirements for bringing Cloves into Indonesia include:

  • Food registration with BPOM and import licensing; Indonesian (Bahasa) labeling.
  • Halal certification (BPJPH) is mandatory for many food categories.
  • A phytosanitary / health certificate for plant and food products.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our export documents checklist for the full set.
