Olive oil supplier for importers in China

Extra virgin olive oil from Sfax for Chinese importers, distributors and private label brands, with an SGS analysis on every lot. We quote from €3.65/kg FOB Sfax for extra virgin in bulk, and give you a firm, dated price for your port.

Why Chinese importers buy Tunisian olive oil

Tunisia is one of the world's largest olive oil exporters. With the duty-free window for African origins, Tunisian extra virgin lands in China at a cost that makes it worth comparing with Spanish and Italian supply.

Duties and taxes in China

Olive oil normally pays an MFN duty around 10% in China. A 0% duty window is open to non-LDC African countries, Tunisia included, from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2028 (figures from our China market guide, to be re-checked before each order 🔴).

Compliance: who does what

China requires the registration of the overseas food facility with GACC (CIFER system, decrees 248 and 249) and a Chinese label on packed goods. We confirm the registration status that applies to your lot before any firm quote. The importer handles the customs declaration in China.

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply olive oil importers in China?

Yes. Zitouna Export ships Tunisian extra virgin olive oil to importers, distributors, packers and private label brands in China, in bulk and in packed formats, from Sfax or Radès to Shanghai and the other main ports.

What is the price of Tunisian olive oil for China?

Extra virgin in bulk starts from €3.65/kg FOB Sfax. The firm price depends on the grade, the format, the volume and the incoterm. Request a dated quote with your port: we answer with a price per kg or per unit and the current lot analysis.

What is the minimum order?

In bulk we start from one 200 L drum, then IBC (1,000 L) and flexitank (about 21.5 t). In packed goods there is no fixed minimum, but each shipment carries fixed export costs, so a full or shared pallet load gives the best price per unit.

Bulk in drums, IBC and flexitank; tins from 1 L to 20 kg; glass bottles from 250 ml to 1 L. Any other size can be made to order.
