Why source Cloves from Sri Lanka

Ceylon cloves are valued for their high essential-oil content and strong aroma, used whole in food and as feedstock for clove-oil and oleoresin extraction. Hand-picked and sun-dried, conventional or organic.

Forms & grades: Whole hand-picked; conventional or organic; also for oil / oleoresin. Browse current listings on our Cloves category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Thailand

There is no bilateral FTA in force between Sri Lanka and Thailand, so imports follow Thailand’s standard (MFN) tariff. Confirm your HS line. Thailand is a notable market and processing hub for spices, coconut and rubber-based products.

A standard certificate of origin is used; there is no FTA preference to claim.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Thai Customs Department, 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 Thailand

Typical requirements for bringing Cloves into Thailand include:

  • Food imports are regulated by the Thai FDA, with import licensing and Thai labeling.
  • A phytosanitary / health certificate for plant and food products.
  • For organic goods, certification recognized in the Thai market.

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