Product Overview

Sri Lanka sells cinnamon bark mainly as quills. The Department of Export Agriculture says the other pieces of bark are available as chips, quillings or featherings. Chips come from the same tree, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, grown along the coastal belt from Negombo to Matara. The Department of Cinnamon Development describes chips as mature, hard, greenish-brown bark with an outer layer called 'Kurutta' that cannot be peeled off in the usual way. The bark is separated by scraping or by beating with a wooden stick. Chips should not contain more than 2% of other extraneous substances. The export tariff of Sri Lanka lists chips under H.09.06.11.95. The Department names chips, also called 'Katta', as a raw material for cinnamon bark oil. This product is listed as available on request, and packaging is available on request. Send the grade, quantity, packing and destination port by email from the Contact page or the How to order page. Documents and test reports can be discussed for each order.
