Forms & grades: Fibre (mattress/bristle), coco peat blocks/discs/grow-bags, pith; washed / low-EC options. Browse current listings on our Coir & Coco Peat category page.
Duty & tariff treatment for Australia
Sri Lanka has long qualified for Australia’s Developing Country tariff preferences (Sri Lanka has benefited since the 1970s), and many food and spice lines also enter at the general (often free) rate. Confirmar a taxa atual for your specific line in the Australian tariff schedule.
To claim a Developing Country preference, a declaration / certificate of origin is required; many foods are already free under the general tariff regardless.
Import requirements for Australia
Coir & Coco Peat is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Australia. Coir and coco peat used as growing media usually need a phytosanitary certificate, and many markets require low-EC / washed material and may require fumigation or heat treatment. Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with Australia’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.
