Duty & tariff treatment for Spain

As an EU member state, Spain applies the EU’s GSP+ scheme for Sri Lanka, when origin is proven. Check the current EU rate for your CN code in TARIC.

GSP+ benefit requires a statement on origin from a Sri Lankan exporter registered in the EU REX system.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the EU TARIC 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 Spain

Typical requirements for bringing Cardamom into Spain include:

EU food-safety compliance: pesticide residue (MRL) and contaminant limits, and EU labelling (Spanish); check whether your product from Sri Lanka is under any increased-control listing before shipping.
A phytosanitary certificate from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS) where required, with pre-notification via TRACES for products under official control.
For organic goods: an EU organic certificate of inspection (COI) in TRACES.

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.
