Canada is one of Sri Lanka’s largest export markets, taking US$317 million of goods in 2024 (UN Comtrade). Fresh Cloves crop typically lands Ноябрь–Февраль, see the harvest calendar.

Why source Cloves from Sri Lanka

Ceylon cloves are valued for their high essential-oil content and strong aroma, used whole in food and as feedstock for clove-oil and oleoresin extraction. Hand-picked and sun-dried, conventional or organic.

Forms & grades: Whole hand-picked; conventional or organic; also for oil / oleoresin. Browse current listings on our Cloves category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Canada

Sri Lanka is a beneficiary of Canada’s General Preferential Tariff (GPT), renewed through to the end of 2034, with Sri Lanka retaining eligibility after the January 2025 reform, giving reduced or duty-free rates on a wide range of goods, including many foods and spices, subject to GPT rules of origin and the direct-shipment requirement.

GPT preference requires a certificate / statement of origin and that goods are shipped directly from Sri Lanka to Canada.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Canada Customs Tariff, 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 Canada

Typical requirements for bringing Cloves into Canada include:

  • A Canadian importer holding an SFCR license (Safe Food for Canadians Regulations) with CFIA food-safety and labeling compliance.
  • A phytosanitary certificate for plant products where required.
  • For organic goods: certification recognized under the Canada Organic Regime.

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.
