Why Korean importers buy Tunisian olive oil

Korean shoppers already know Tunisian extra virgin from large retail chains. For an importer, Tunisia offers extra virgin with a clean lab profile at a price that leaves room for a premium Korean brand.

Duties and taxes in Korea

Tunisia has no trade agreement with South Korea, so olive oil pays the MFN duty, around 8% (figure from our Korea market guide, to be re-checked before each order 🔴). The certificate of origin is the standard one.

Compliance: who does what

The Korean importer handles the import food declaration and labelling in Korean. We provide the lot analysis, the certificate of origin and, for OEM, a label file built from your Korean text.

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply olive oil importers in South Korea?

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

What is the price of Tunisian olive oil for Korea?

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.
