Switch to Tunisia: how much can you save sourcing from Sfax?
Compare your current sourcing in Spain or Italy with bulk Tunisian olive oil from Sfax. The tool estimates an indicative potential saving, to be confirmed according to your volume and the trade agreement in force.
What is this tool for?
This tool is for importers and industrial buyers already sourcing from Spain or Italy who want to quantify the value of switching to Tunisia. You enter your current origin and volume, and the tool estimates the potential delivered-cost gap, factoring in FOB Sfax, 20' container ocean freight, insurance and the customs regime. Results are indicative and must be confirmed by a firm quote, as prices vary with the harvest, quality and the EU tariff quota. The goal is to give you an order of magnitude before starting a commercial discussion.

FAQ
Are the displayed savings guaranteed?
No. Amounts are indicative and serve as an order of magnitude. Actual savings depend on volume, quality, the olive harvest and the trade agreement in force. Only a firm quote is binding.
Why source from Tunisia rather than Spain or Italy?
Tunisia is a major producer of quality olive oil, often at a competitive FOB price. Many Spanish and Italian volumes actually come from repackaged Tunisian oils, which makes sourcing directly at origin attractive.
Does the tool include customs duties?
It accounts for the customs regime in general terms, but the precise duties and the EU tariff quota applicable to HS code 1509 must be checked according to the trade agreement in force at the time of import.
How do I get a firm quote?
After your estimate, launch a quick quote specifying your volume, quality and destination port. AKFER Tunisia replies with a FOB Sfax or CIF price depending on your needs.
