Which products are available for each market?
Harvest Gate is an agricultural exporter based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Its range for importers covers Sri Lankan spices, fresh tropical fruits, vegetables, leaves and yams, plus dehydrated fruits and vegetables. Each market has its own plant health and food rules, with extra checks or restrictions on some fresh produce. Tell us the products you need and the quotation confirms which can ship, in what form and by which route.
What import documents are prepared for each shipment?
Each consignment ships with a phytosanitary certificate, with the certificate of origin, packing list and commercial invoice the importing market requires. Tell us the destination and the quotation lists the documents for your market; the market guides set out the importer's side, such as the pre-notification and border checks in the United Kingdom.
How long does air freight from Colombo take?
It depends on the flight routing and the destination airport, so ask for the transit time for your consignment when you request a quote. Air freight leaves from Bandaranaike International Airport near Colombo; the guide to Incoterms for perishables explains which terms suit air freight.
