Why source Cardamom from Sri Lanka

Ceylon cardamom (true cardamom, Elettaria cardamomum) is grown in Sri Lanka’s cool central highlands and prized for its aroma and bold green pods. Available whole or ground, conventional or organic.

Forms & grades: Green pods (bold / AGEB grades), whole or ground; conventional or organic. Browse current listings on our Cardamom category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Thailand

There is no bilateral FTA in force between Sri Lanka and Thailand, so imports follow Thailand’s standard (MFN) tariff. Confirm your HS line. Thailand is a notable market and processing hub for spices, coconut and rubber-based products.

A standard certificate of origin is used; there is no FTA preference to claim.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Thai Customs Department, 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 Thailand

Typical requirements for bringing Cardamom into Thailand include:

  • Food imports are regulated by the Thai FDA, with import licensing and Thai labeling.
  • A phytosanitary / health certificate for plant and food products.
  • For organic goods, certification recognized in the Thai market.

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.
