Ecuador bought about US$8.1 million of Sri Lankan cinnamon in 2024 (OEC), typically in 15-tonne containers of canela en rama for Guayaquil importers and spice brands. Fresh Ceylon Cinnamon crop typically lands May–November (peeled year-round), see the harvest calendar.

Why source Ceylon Cinnamon from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is the home of true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), sweeter, lower in coumarin and far more prized than the cassia sold as “cinnamon” elsewhere. Over 80% of the world’s true cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka, graded by quill quality (Alba, C5 Special, C5) with full traceability to the estate.

Forms & grades: Quills (Alba / C5 Special / C5), quillings, and ground powder. Browse current listings on our Ceylon Cinnamon category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Ecuador

There is no trade agreement between Sri Lanka and Ecuador, so goods from Sri Lanka enter at Ecuador’s standard (MFN) rate, with IVA and FODINFA on top.

Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the current rate for your subpartida with SENAE.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the SENAE import guidance, 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 Ecuador

Typical requirements for bringing Ceylon Cinnamon into Ecuador include:

  • For Ceylon Cinnamon, an Agrocalidad phytosanitary import permit, processed through ECUAPASS, and importer registration with Agrocalidad.
  • A phytosanitary certificate from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS).
  • Packaged food may need an ARCSA sanitary notification and Spanish labelling; confirm for your product and pack.

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.
