Duty & tariff treatment for Switzerland
Switzerland runs its own Swiss GSP (since 1971), and Sri Lanka is a long-standing beneficiary, a wide range of Sri Lankan products enters at zero or sharply reduced duty when origin rules are met. (Switzerland is outside the EU, so this is the Swiss scheme, not EU GSP+.)
A Swiss GSP proof of origin (origin declaration / REX-style registration) is required to claim the preference.
Import requirements for Switzerland
Typical requirements for bringing Cardamom into Switzerland include:
- Swiss food-safety compliance: residue/contaminant limits and Swiss labeling (often in DE/FR/IT).
- A health / phytosanitary certificate for plant and food products.
- For organic goods, certification recognized by the Swiss organic regime.
