한국어 Import Cardamom from Sri Lanka to Mexico
What it takes to source Cardamom from Sri Lanka and bring it into Mexico: tariff treatment, import requirements, shipping times and indicative pricing, with a free route to quotes from verified exporters.
Fresh Cardamom crop typically lands October–February, see the harvest calendar.
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 Mexico
There is no trade agreement between Sri Lanka and Mexico, so goods from Sri Lanka enter at Mexico’s standard (MFN) rate under the TIGIE. Different forms of a product (whole, ground, refined) can sit on different tariff fractions, so check the exact fraction before you price.
Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the current rate for your TIGIE fraction in SNICE.
Import requirements for Mexico
Typical requirements for bringing Cardamom into Mexico include:
- SENASICA plant-health import requirements for Cardamom from Sri Lanka: look up the requirement sheet in SENASICA’s phytosanitary requirements module (by product and origin).
- A phytosanitary certificate issued in Sri Lanka by the National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS), where the requirement sheet calls for one.
- The importer must be registered in Mexico’s Padrón de Importadores; confirm whether the fraction also needs the sectoral register.
- Retail packs need Spanish labelling under NOM-051; confirm any COFEPRIS requirement for your product with your customs broker.
Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our export documents checklist for the full set.
