Administrative Assistance for Import-Export in Tunisia
The Regulatory Framework for International Trade
International trade in Tunisia is governed by the Customs Code, the Commercial Code and bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, notably the Association Agreement with the European Union. Foreign exchange regulations impose specific obligations on importers and exporters. Legalium masters this regulatory framework and supports you in ensuring compliance of your international commercial operations.
Creating International Trade Companies
To conduct import-export activities in Tunisia, you need an appropriate administrative structure: international trade company, fully exporting company or mixed company. Legalium advises you on the optimal legal form based on your activity, creates your company and obtains necessary authorizations, including the customs code and trader card.
Customs Compliance and Regulations
Import-export operations are subject to strict customs regulations: customs duties, import VAT, quotas, technical standards and certifications. Legalium supports you in compliance of your operations, drafting international contracts conforming to Incoterms and managing cross-border commercial disputes.
Port Proximity and Logistics
Tunisia has strategic commercial ports in Tunis, Rades, Bizerte, Sousse, Sfax and Gabes, offering maritime connections with Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Free zones and suspensive customs regimes offer advantages for storage and processing. Legalium helps you choose the optimal location and administratively structure your logistics chain.
