한국어 Import Ceylon Cinnamon from Sri Lanka to Colombia
What it takes to source Ceylon Cinnamon from Sri Lanka and bring it into Colombia: tariff treatment, import requirements, shipping times and indicative pricing, with a free route to quotes from verified exporters.
Colombia bought about US$8.8 million of Sri Lankan cinnamon in 2024 (OEC), largely H-grade quills for spice importers and distributors in Bogotá, Cali and Medellín. Fresh Ceylon Cinnamon crop typically lands May–November (peeled year-round), see the harvest calendar.
Why source Ceylon Cinnamon from Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is the home of true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), sweeter, lower in coumarin and far more prized than the cassia sold as “cinnamon” elsewhere. Over 80% of the world’s true cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka, graded by quill quality (Alba, C5 Special, C5) with full traceability to the estate.
Forms & grades: Quills (Alba / C5 Special / C5), quillings, and ground powder. Browse current listings on our Ceylon Cinnamon category page.
Duty & tariff treatment for Colombia
There is no trade agreement between Sri Lanka and Colombia, so goods from Sri Lanka enter at Colombia’s standard (MFN) rate, with IVA on top.
