To complete an import procedure, it is necessary to have a customs code, which will be used by the operator as a unique identifier in the TTN foreign trade electronic counter. The latter is presented as the computer network that connects the various stakeholders in the procedures of foreign trade and transport in Tunisia.
The economic operator can file his request for the creation of a customs code at the customs office closest to his home or at the one-stop shop of the Agency for the Promotion of Industry and Innovation (APII).
The file contains the following documents:
- The original of the certificate of registration in the national business register;
- A request on a specific form to be collected from the nearest customs office or from the counter of the Agency for the Promotion of Industry and Innovation (APII);
- A copy of the tax identity card legalized at the tax control office;
- A copy of the declaration of existence certified with the tax control office;
- A certificate of publication of the notice of creation of the company in the Official Journal of the Republic of Tunisia (in the case of a legal person);
- A copy of the company’s status (in the case of a legal entity);
- A copy of the national identity card of the applicant or the legal representative of the company
