✓Accepted Answer

Export preparation of C5 Special grade Pure Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) under SLSI standard SLS 81 requires strict moisture and packaging quality control. Graded quills (measuring 6mm–10mm in diameter) must undergo digital pin-type moisture meter testing; internal core moisture must not exceed 14%. Bales are assembled using standardized 42-inch quills wrapped securely in clean, unbleached hessian jute fabric and outer polypropylene sacks to prevent condensation and mold development during long maritime transit across humid ocean routes.
