Why source Nutmeg & Mace from Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan nutmeg and its lacy red aril, sopa, are grown in the wet-zone hills and valued for their high essential-oil content. Sold whole or ground, and as feedstock for nutmeg oil and oleoresin.

Forms & grades: Whole nutmeg & mace, or ground; conventional or organic; also for oil / oleoresin. Browse current listings on our Nutmeg & Mace 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 toplam maliyet hesaplayıcısı. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.
