Why source Cardamom from Sri Lanka

Ceylon cardamom (true cardamom, Elettaria cardamomum) is grown in Sri Lanka’s cool central highlands and prized for its aroma and bold green pods. Available whole or ground, conventional or organic.

Forms & grades: Green pods (bold / AGEB grades), whole or ground; conventional or organic. Browse current listings on our Cardamom 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 Cardamom 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.
