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](/coconut-products/). ### Duty & tariff treatment for Singapore Singapore is a free port: nearly all imports enter duty-free regardless of origin (only a few items such as alcohol and tobacco are dutiable), and the Sri Lanka–Singapore FTA (SLSFTA, 2018) further locks this in. Singapore is a major re-export gateway into ASEAN and beyond. Duty is rarely an issue; for any SLSFTA-specific benefit a Certificate of Origin meeting the 35% value-addition + change-of-tariff-heading rule is used. Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the [Singapore Customs](https://www.customs.gov.sg/), 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 Singapore Typical requirements for bringing Coconut Oil into Singapore include: - Food imports go through a licensed importer registered with the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), with the relevant import permit and labeling. - A health / phytosanitary certificate for food and plant products as required. - High packaging and labeling standards for retail-ready goods. 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. ### Certificates this market asks for Lists of Sri Lankan suppliers holding each one, taken from the scheme’s own public register.
