### 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](/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.
