Why source Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a leading exporter of coconut-shell activated carbon, graded by iodine number / activity. It is used in water and air treatment, gold recovery, food & beverage processing and energy storage, a fast-growing global market.

Forms & grades: Granular (GAC), powdered (PAC) or pelletised; by iodine number / activity grade. Browse current listings on our Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Turkey

Turkey grants GSP preferences to Sri Lanka under its “developing country” tier (revised in 2010, so some margins are smaller than before). Many industrial lines benefit, but agricultural tariffs can still be high. Confirm the rate for your specific product.

A GSP proof of origin (Form A / origin declaration) is needed to claim the preference.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Turkey Trade / 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 Turkey

Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Turkey. Activated carbon is traded on technical specs (iodine number, ash, mesh); the EU also requires REACH compliance, and water- or food-grade carbon must meet the relevant purity standards (e.g. NSF, EN 12915). Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with Turkey’s customs and standards authority.

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