Import from Sri Lanka to China: every product, one page →
China is one of Sri Lanka’s largest export markets, taking US$261 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 China
Sri Lanka and China both belong to the Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA), which grants tariff concessions (a margin of preference) on a list of products. Not blanket duty-free, so confirm whether your HS line is covered. (A China–Sri Lanka FTA has been negotiated but is not yet in force.)
APTA preference requires an APTA Certificate of Origin for products on the concession schedule.
Import requirements for China
Typical requirements for bringing Cloves into China include:
- GACC registration (China Customs) is mandatory for overseas food manufacturers/exporters before shipping food to China.
- CIQ inspection on arrival, Chinese labeling, and product-specific protocols (e.g. for tea, spices).
- A phytosanitary / health certificate for plant and food products.
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.
