Why source Ceylon Cinnamon from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is the home of 真正的肉桂 (真肉桂), sweeter, lower in coumarin and far more prized than the cassia sold as “cinnamon” elsewhere. Over 80% of the world’s true cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka, graded by quill quality (Alba, C5 Special, C5) with full traceability to the estate.

Forms & grades: Quills (Alba / C5 Special / C5), quillings, and ground powder. Browse current listings on our Ceylon Cinnamon category page.

Duty & tariff treatment for Vietnam

There is no bilateral FTA between Sri Lanka and Vietnam, so imports follow Vietnam’s standard (MFN) tariff. Confirm your HS line. Vietnam is a fast-growing market and processing hub for spices, tea and coconut products.

A standard certificate of origin is used; there is no FTA preference to claim.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Vietnam Customs, and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our 到岸成本计算器. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Vietnam

Typical requirements for bringing Ceylon Cinnamon into Vietnam include:

  • Food imports require registration / self-declaration under Vietnam’s food-safety rules, with Vietnamese labeling.
  • A phytosanitary / health certificate for plant and food products.
  • For organic goods, certification recognized in the Vietnamese market.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our 出口文件核对清单 for the full set.
