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 Maldives

Sri Lanka and the Maldives are both SAFTA members, giving tariff concessions on covered products. The Maldives imports almost all of its food and consumer goods, and Sri Lanka is one of its closest and most important suppliers.

A SAFTA Certificate of Origin is used to claim the preference on covered goods.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Maldives Customs Service, 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 The Maldives

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

  • The importer must be registered with Maldives Customs (any import that is not for personal use), and food is cleared by the Maldives Food and Drug Authority (MFDA), with labeling.
  • A health / phytosanitary certificate for plant and food products as required.
  • සිට 31 March 2026 the MFDA requires an Export Health Certificate with every consignment of animal-origin food (fish, meat, eggs). Pack robustly for onward distribution to resorts and islands.
