July 06, 2025

Sri Lanka Customs has earned 225 million rupees from misclassified mandarin imports after officials detected some traders importing under wrong classification to evade duty, its Spokesman Seevali Arukgoda said.

“We have earned 225 million from the detection of misclassification of Kinnow hybrid mandarin,” Arukgoda told EconomyNext.

Kinnow is a hybrid variety of mandarin and imported by Sri Lankan traders mainly from Pakistan for more than two decades under Pakistan-Sri Lanka Free Trade Agreement (PSFTA).
