Why source Coir & Coco Peat from Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is one of the world’s largest exporters of coir and coco peat: mattress and bristle fibre, twisted/baled coir, and washed low-EC coco peat used as a sustainable horticultural growing medium. Supplied loose, in blocks, discs or grow-bags.
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 Japan
Sri Lanka is a beneficiary of Japan’s GSP scheme, which reduces or removes duty on many products, but Japan excludes or limits a number of agricultural lines, so confirm whether your specific HS line qualifies. Japan is a premium, quality-driven market, especially for Ceylon tea and spices.
A GSP Certificate of Origin (Form A) is required to claim the preference; confirm current evidence rules.
Import requirements for Japan
Coir & Coco Peat is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Japan. 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 Japan’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.
