Why source Ceylon Cinnamon from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is the home of සැබෑ කුරුඳු (Cinnamomum verum), sweeter, lower in coumarin and far more prized than the cassia sold as “cinnamon” elsewhere. Over 80% of the world’s true cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka, graded by quill quality (Alba, C5 Special, C5) with full traceability to the estate.

Forms & grades: Quills (Alba / C5 Special / C5), quillings, and ground powder. Browse current listings on our Ceylon Cinnamon category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Bangladesh

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are both members of the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) (and APTA), giving tariff concessions on covered products. Sensitive items sit on a negative list, and as Bangladesh produces its own tea, confirm whether your product is eligible.

SAFTA preference requires a SAFTA Certificate of Origin meeting the agreement’s value-addition and consignment rules.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Bangladesh Customs (NBR), and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our ගොඩ-ලාගාන කැල්කියුලේටරය. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Bangladesh

Typical requirements for bringing Ceylon Cinnamon into Bangladesh include:

  • Import through a Bangladeshi importer (usually on a letter of credit) meeting BSTI standards and labeling.
  • A phytosanitary / health certificate for plant and food products.
  • Confirm the product is not restricted under the SAFTA negative list.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our අපනයන ලේඛන පිරික්සුම් ලැයිස්තුව for the full set.
