Why source Ceylon Tea from Sri Lanka

“Ceylon” is a globally protected mark of origin for Sri Lankan tea, sold through the transparent Kolombo Çay Müzayedesi. Buyers can source by elevation (high / medium / low grown) and grade (BOP, BOPF, OP, FBOP, dust) with consistent quality and a clean, well-documented supply chain.

Forms & grades: Black, green and specialty teas by elevation and leaf grade; bulk or private-label. Browse current listings on our Ceylon Tea category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Ecuador

There is no trade agreement between Sri Lanka and Ecuador, so goods from Sri Lanka enter at Ecuador’s standard (MFN) rate, with IVA and FODINFA on top.

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

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

Import requirements for Ecuador

Typical requirements for bringing Ceylon Tea into Ecuador include:

  • For Ceylon Tea, an Agrocalidad phytosanitary import permit, processed through ECUAPASS, and importer registration with Agrocalidad.
  • A phytosanitary certificate from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS).
  • Packaged food may need an ARCSA sanitary notification and Spanish labelling; confirm for your product and pack.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our İhracat belgeleri kontrol listesi for the full set.
