Forms & grades: Whole (MG1 garbled), cracked or ground; conventional or organic. Browse current listings on our Black Pepper category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Mexico

There is no trade agreement between Sri Lanka and Mexico, so goods from Sri Lanka enter at Mexico’s standard (MFN) rate under the TIGIE. Different forms of a product (whole, ground, refined) can sit on different tariff fractions, so check the exact fraction before you price.

Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the current rate for your TIGIE fraction in SNICE.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Mexico SNICE / TIGIE tariff lookup, and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our калькулятор стоимости с учетом всех расходов. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Mexico

Typical requirements for bringing Black Pepper into Mexico include:

  • SENASICA plant-health import requirements for Black Pepper from Sri Lanka: look up the requirement sheet in SENASICA’s phytosanitary requirements module (by product and origin).
  • A phytosanitary certificate issued in Sri Lanka by the National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS), where the requirement sheet calls for one.
  • The importer must be registered in Mexico’s Padrón de Importadores; confirm whether the fraction also needs the sectoral register.
  • Retail packs need Spanish labelling under NOM-051; confirm any COFEPRIS requirement for your product with your customs broker.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our чек-лист экспортных документов for the full set.
