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 Pakistan
Sri Lanka and Pakistan have a Free Trade Agreement (PSFTA, in force since 2005) giving duty-free or preferential access on most products. Pakistan is one of the largest buyers of Ceylon tea, which moves under a preferential PSFTA arrangement. Confirm your product’s concession and any tariff-rate quota.
PSFTA preference requires a PSFTA Certificate of Origin meeting the agreement’s value-addition (typically 35%) and consignment rules.
Import requirements for Pakistan
Typical requirements for bringing Cloves into Pakistan include:
- Import through a Pakistani importer; food products are subject to the relevant provincial/federal food-safety authority and labeling.
- A phytosanitary certificate (Department of Plant Protection) for plant products and fumigation where required.
- Halal certification where applicable.
Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our export documents checklist for the full set.
