Tunisian olive oil supplier for UK 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 UK port and the analysis of the current lot. The minimum order is one pallet.

Why UK buyers look at Tunisian olive oil

UK wholesalers, packers and own-label brands buy 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) and a campaign that starts in late autumn. What matters to a buyer is the paper behind the oil: a COA for each lot, a stated category, and export documents that your customs agent can use without a second request.

Duties, customs and labelling in the UK

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

• Duty: the rate for olive oil (HS 1509) is set by the UK Trade Tariff, and a preference may apply to goods of Tunisian origin. Check the current rate, any quota and the origin proof required with your customs agent. We do not quote a duty figure here because it changes.
• Customs: the importer needs a GB EORI number and clears the goods through a customs declaration at the port.
• Food business: an importer of food is normally registered as a food business with its local authority.
• Labelling: UK rules for Great Britain and EU rules for Northern Ireland are not the same. When we pack under your brand, you tell us the market and we build the label file to match.

Quality certificates (IFS, BRCGS, ISO 22000, Halal, Kosher, EU Organic, USDA NOP) are named here and sent on request, before any order, never published online.
