Duty & tariff treatment for Canada
Sri Lanka is a beneficiary of Canada’s General Preferential Tariff (GPT), renewed through to the end of 2034, with Sri Lanka retaining eligibility after the January 2025 reform, giving reduced or duty-free rates on a wide range of goods, including many foods and spices, subject to GPT rules of origin and the direct-shipment requirement.
GPT preference requires a certificate / statement of origin and that goods are shipped directly from Sri Lanka to Canada.
Import requirements for Canada
Essential Oils is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Canada. Essential oils are traded on purity / GC specifications; cosmetic-use oils follow the market’s cosmetics rules (e.g. EU Cosmetics Regulation, IFRA), and food-flavor oils may additionally need food-safety clearance. Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with Canada’s customs and standards authority.
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.
