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 Guatemala

There is no trade agreement between Sri Lanka and Guatemala, so goods from Sri Lanka enter at the Central American common tariff (MFN) rate, with IVA on top.

Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the current rate for your line with SAT.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the SAT Guatemala, and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our இறங்கு-செலவு கணிப்பான். We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

  • For Cloves, a MAGA phytosanitary import permit and inspection at the port of entry.
  • A தாவர சுகாதாரச் சான்றிதழ் from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS).
  • Packaged food may need MSPAS sanitary registration and Spanish labelling under the Central American technical regulations; confirm for your product.
