Why source Ceylon Tea from Sri Lanka
“Ceylon” is a globally protected mark of origin for Sri Lankan tea, sold through the transparent Чайная биржа в Коломбо. Buyers can source by elevation (high / medium / low grown) and grade (BOP, BOPF, OP, FBOP, dust) with consistent quality and a clean, well-documented supply chain.
Forms & grades: Black, green and specialty teas by elevation and leaf grade; bulk or private-label. Browse current listings on our Ceylon Tea category page.
Duty & tariff treatment for Australia
Sri Lanka has long qualified for Australia’s Developing Country tariff preferences (Sri Lanka has benefited since the 1970s), and many food and spice lines also enter at the general (often free) rate. Уточнить текущую ставку for your specific line in the Australian tariff schedule.
To claim a Developing Country preference, a declaration / certificate of origin is required; many foods are already free under the general tariff regardless.
Import requirements for Australia
Typical requirements for bringing Ceylon Tea into Australia include:
- Australian biosecurity: many plant/food products need an import permit and must meet conditions in BICON (treatment/fumigation may apply); shipments are inspected by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
- Food standards under FSANZ and the Imported Food Inspection Scheme, plus correct labeling.
- For organic goods: certification acceptable to the Australian 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.
