Why source Virgin Coconut Oil from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a leading producer of cold-pressed virgin coconut oil, made from fresh coconut kernel, not copra, with widely available certified-organic and Fair Trade lines. Packaging runs from bulk flexitanks to retail-ready jars and bottles.

Forms & grades: Cold-pressed virgin; conventional, organic or Fair Trade; bulk or retail-packed. Browse current listings on our Virgin Coconut Oil category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for The Netherlands

As an EU member state, the Netherlands applies the EU’s GSP+ scheme for Sri Lanka: duty-free or sharply reduced tariffs on roughly two-thirds of EU tariff lines, covering most teas, spices and coconut products, when origin is proven. Rotterdam is Europe’s largest port and a major re-export gateway into the rest of the EU.

GSP+ benefit requires a statement on origin from a Sri Lankan exporter registered in the EU REX system.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the EU TARIC tariff lookup, 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 The Netherlands

Typical requirements for bringing Virgin Coconut Oil into the Netherlands include:

  • EU food-safety compliance: max residue limits (MRLs), contaminant and aflatoxin limits, and EU labeling.
  • A health / phytosanitary certificate as applicable, with CHED pre-notification via the EU TRACES system for products under official control.
  • For organic goods: an EU organic certificate (COI) from an EU-recognized control body.

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.
