Why source Coconut Oil from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a leading exporter of coconut oil and value-added coconut products, from crude and RBD oil to certified virgin coconut oil. Organic and Fair Trade certified lines are widely available, with packaging from bulk flexitanks to retail-ready.

Forms & grades: Crude, RBD and virgin coconut oil; conventional or certified organic. Browse current listings on our Coconut Oil category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Argentina

Argentina applies the Mercosur common external tariff, and there is no trade agreement with Sri Lanka. Expect IVA, the statistics fee and tax perceptions on top of duty.

Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the treatment for your NCM line with ARCA (formerly AFIP).

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the ARCA (AFIP) tariff treatment, 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 Argentina

Typical requirements for bringing Coconut Oil into Argentina include:

  • Coconut Oil is a processed food, so registration under the Código Alimentario Argentino (INAL / ANMAT) and Spanish labelling apply; confirm for your product and pack.
  • Check SENASA’s requirements for your product; processed foods often need no phytosanitary certificate, but confirm before shipping.

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