The final invoice
The final invoice represents the result of commercial negotiations between the foreign supplier and the importer. It is a standardized commercial document that gives rise to an accounting record. It differs from the “pro-format” invoice since the latter is an estimate presented in the form of an invoice without providing any accounting value.
The final invoice must contain all the information necessary for the smooth running of the transaction, namely:
- The contracting parties and their contact details;
- The designation of the product;
- The unit price and quantity of the product;
- The global price and the settlement currency according to the chosen incoterm;
- The period of validity of the price indicated;
- The means of transport and the delivery time;
- The payment period and any installments received;
- Guarantees and force majeure in the event of an unforeseeable event…
The certificate of origin
All economic operators must be able to prove the origin of their imported products during customs clearance. In other words, it is the proof of “nationality” of the product which allows the economic operator to benefit from the preferences provided for by bilateral or multilateral conventions and agreements, the establishment of foreign trade statistics or for the application of specific regulations such as health and phytosanitary measures.
Conventional certificates of origin
- Certificate of origin established within the framework of bilateral agreements between Tunisia and certain Arab countries (Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Kuwait, Algeria)
- Certificate of origin issued under the agreement of the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (Arabic Certificates of Origin)
- Certificate of origin for the movement of goods for the export of originating products to the European Union (EUR1 certificate)

Veterinary health control
The applied framework is governed by law 99-24 of March 9, 1999, relating to veterinary health control at import and export. This control is carried out at crossing points with customs offices by sworn veterinarians.
Imported animals and animal products must be accompanied by health documents issued by the official veterinary authorities of the exporting country attesting to their good health, their wholesomeness as well as their conformity with the sanitary and hygienic requirements in force in Tunisia.
Veterinarians mainly check the documents accompanying the animals and animal products as well as the identity check by visually checking the concordance between these documents and the animals/animal products.
Phytosanitary control on import
Phytosanitary import control aims to prevent the introduction and spread of dangerous harmful organisms which can cause direct or indirect losses on the national plant heritage. It concerns plants (live plants and living parts of plants including seeds and fruits) and plant products (unprocessed products of plant origin).
The procedure is carried out by the phytosanitary control service within the border posts (ports, airports, land crossing points).
Plants, parts of plants and plant products imported into Tunisia must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate in accordance with the model established by the International Convention for the Protection of Plants (written in Arabic, French or English).
Plants, parts of plants and plant products imported into Tunisia must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate in accordance with the model established by the International Convention for the Protection of Plants (written in Arabic, French or English).
If the exporting country is not the country of origin, the plants, parts of plants and plant products must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate for re-export conforming to the model established by the International Plant Protection Convention to which will be annexed the original or a copy of the original phytosanitary certificate certified by the exporting country.
Furthermore, the same text authorizes the import without presentation of a phytosanitary certificate or phytosanitary inspection the introduction of 6 families of plants or plant products, with the exception of those covered by the decree of the Minister of Agriculture of 31 May 2012 establishing the list of plants and plant products whose entry into Tunisian territory is prohibited, these plants or plant products concern:
such as oils, vegetable fats, brines, preserves, starches and flours
such as coffee, cocoa and hops.

for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industrial use, or for pastry and confectionery.
with the exception of palm wood from Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania.
in small quantities and for personal consumption with the exception of seeds.

The three product categories
subject to import and export technical control
These are the products on list A of the text of the decree and mainly concern final consumer products (cosmetics, food, shoes, toys, household appliances, etc.).
Based on a system of risk management and selectivity (related to the nature of the product in question, content of the file, history of the importer, warnings regarding the harmfulness of the product, etc.), each technical department concerned performs this type of control according to three ways:- Study of file with possibly a deposit of samples;
- Study of file with control of the goods;
- Study of file with control of the goods and taking of sample for analysis;
These are the products listed in List B of the text of the above-mentioned Order. This check shall be carried out by customs officials who shallverify at the time of customs clearance that the goods are accompanied by a certificate of conformity with the technical regulations concerning them issued by a body duly authorized for that purpose.
concerning the products of list C of the text of the decree mentioned above. This control is carried out by the technical department concerned and consists of verifying the conformity of the product with the requirements of a specification (approved by order of the Minister of Commerce and the ministers concerned).

TCE Banking Domiciliation
Bank domiciliation means the choice by a natural or legal person of an approved intermediary to carry out a transfer of foreign currency (in payment for an import or for another reason) or to send foreign currency in recovery of an export transaction.
Bank domiciliation
The direct debit request (accompanied by the commercial contract and any other document deemed necessary) is submitted to the authorized intermediary who verifies the content of the invoice and the NGP code of the product to be imported.
Request for authorization without payment: The file is transmitted directly to the Ministry of Trade and Export Development via the TTN application (without going through the approved intermediary) which decides on the latter by possibly transmitting it to another competent structure to technical advice.
The authorized intermediary must respect the regulatory change requirements and obtain the agreement of the central bank in the event that the importation provides for special payment conditions (provisions of the circular of the BCT to authorized intermediaries No. 94-14 of September 14, 1994).
Following a suitable decision from the Ministry of Commerce and possibly the central bank, the operator can proceed with the domiciliation of his foreign trade title, unless he claims to domicile his title with another approved intermediary.
If it is a product excluded from the freedom of foreign trade regime, the import authorization is transmitted under slip to the Ministry of Trade and Export Development.
Depending on the nature of the product, the Ministry of Trade and Export Development may forward this file to another competent authority for technical advice..
After obtaining the technical opinion, the Ministry of Trade and Export Development mentions its decision to the authorized intermediary who is then, responsible for transmitting this decision to the operator.
For the case of the first import operation of a product excluded from the freedom of foreign trade regime: a legal file must be filed with the Directorate General for Foreign Trade so that it can update its internal databases. This file contains an information sheet, the customs code, a copy of the license, the commercial register and the legal status relating to the importer.

Surveillance prior to importation takes the form of an information sheet aimed at informing the Ministry responsible for trade, in advance, of the bank domiciliation of any import operation of products subject to this regime.
