### Why source Virgin Coconut Oil from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a leading producer of cold-pressed virgin coconut oil, made from fresh coconut kernel, not copra, with widely available certified-organic and Fair Trade lines. Packaging runs from bulk flexitanks to retail-ready jars and bottles.

Forms & grades: Cold-pressed virgin; conventional, organic or Fair Trade; bulk or retail-packed. Browse current listings on our [Virgin Coconut Oil category page](/coconut-products/).

### Duty & tariff treatment for Ecuador

There is no trade agreement between Sri Lanka and Ecuador, so goods from Sri Lanka enter at Ecuador’s standard (MFN) rate, with IVA and FODINFA on top.

Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the current rate for your subpartida with SENAE.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the [SENAE import guidance](https://www.aduana.gob.ec/servicio-al-ciudadano/para-importar/), and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our [landed-cost calculator](/freight-calculator/). We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

### Import requirements for Ecuador

Typical requirements for bringing Virgin Coconut Oil into Ecuador include:

- Virgin Coconut Oil is a processed food, so an ARCSA sanitary notification and Spanish labelling apply to packaged product; confirm for your product and pack.
- Check with Agrocalidad whether your product needs a phytosanitary permit; processed foods often do not.
- Customs entry through ECUAPASS.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our [export documents checklist](/sri-lanka-export-documents-checklist/) for the full set.
