Why source Nutmeg & Mace from Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan nutmeg and its lacy red aril, mace, are grown in the wet-zone hills and valued for their high essential-oil content. Sold whole or ground, and as feedstock for nutmeg oil and oleoresin.

Forms & grades: Whole nutmeg & mace, or ground; conventional or organic; also for oil / oleoresin. Browse current listings on our Nutmeg & Mace 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.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Pakistan Customs tariff, 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 Pakistan

Typical requirements for bringing Nutmeg & Mace 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.
