The United States imported $223.8M/month and exported $43.5M/month with Sri Lanka as of February 2026, covering 497 product categories.
Sri Lanka is an island nation in the Indian Ocean known for exporting tea, rubber, coconut products, apparel, and gems. It benefits from GSP+ trade preferences with the EU and has historically been a significant sourcing hub for garments and spices. Trade professionals should note Sri Lanka's ongoing economic recovery following its 2022 sovereign debt crisis, which affected import capacity, foreign exchange availability, and supply chain reliability.

Sri Lanka's top exports include tea (Ceylon tea), ready-made garments, rubber and rubber products, coconut-based products, precious and semi-precious stones, and spices.
The crisis led to severe foreign exchange shortages, import restrictions on non-essential goods, and supply chain disruptions; conditions have stabilized under an IMF program, but traders should continue to monitor payment risk and import licensing requirements.
Sri Lanka benefits from the EU's GSP+ scheme providing duty-free access for most products, and from preferential arrangements under SAFTA with South Asian neighbors; it does not have a bilateral FTA with the United States.
