Tunisian olive oil supplier for Canadian importers

Extra virgin olive oil from Sfax, shipped in bulk, in tins or under your own label. We quote FOB Sfax by default, with a firm, dated price for your Canadian port and the analysis of the current lot. The minimum order is one pallet.

Why Canadian buyers look at Tunisian olive oil

Canadian importers, distributors and private label brands source extra virgin olive oil from several origins and compare them lot by lot. Tunisian oil is one of those origins, with its own varieties (Chemlali, Chetoui). The documents are what make the difference at the border and with your customer: a COA for each lot, a stated category and export papers your broker can use at once.

Import rules in Canada

Market data checked on 14 November 2026. Every point below is to be verified before an order. 🔴

• Licence: importing food into Canada normally requires a Safe Food for Canadians licence from the CFIA, with a preventive control plan. The importer holds it, not the exporter.
• Customs: the importer needs a business number and an import account with the CBSA, usually through a customs broker.
• Duty: the rate for olive oil (HS 1509) and any preference for Tunisian origin are set by the Canadian customs tariff. Check them with your broker. We do not quote a duty figure here because it changes.
• Labelling: most prepackaged food needs English and French on the label. When we pack under your brand we build the label file to match, and you have it checked for your product.
• Organic: an organic claim depends on the Canada Organic Regime. Equivalence arrangements exist with the EU and the USA, with conditions. Ask us before you plan an organic range.
