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 Colombia

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

Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the current rate for your subpartida in the DIAN tariff.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the DIAN tariff lookup (MUISCA), 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 Colombia

Typical requirements for bringing Cloves into Colombia include:

  • For Cloves, an ICA phytosanitary requirements document for import, arranged before shipment, and ICA inspection on arrival.
  • A phytosanitary certificate from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS).
  • Food for human consumption may need INVIMA registration or 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.
