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.

Duty & tariff treatment for Iraq

There is no preferential agreement between Sri Lanka and Iraq, so imports follow Iraq’s standard (MFN) tariff. Confirm the rate for your HS line. Iraq is, however, one of the largest export markets for Ceylon tea, with strong, long-standing demand.

A standard certificate of origin (often legalized) is required; there is no FTA preference to claim.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Iraq General Commission for Customs, 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 Iraq

Typical requirements for bringing Virgin Coconut Oil into Iraq include:

  • Conformity to COSQC (Iraqi standards) and Arabic labeling for food.
  • Halal certification where applicable, and a health / phytosanitary certificate.
  • Documents are often subject to legalization / attestation. Confirm the current requirements with your buyer.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our export documents checklist for the full set.
