Short answer

Updated: August 2026

How long is sea freight from China to Tunisia, and what should importers watch for?

From China to the port of Radès, FCL transit is usually 28 to 38 days, mostly via Mediterranean hubs; air freight to Tunis-Carthage International Airport (TUN) takes 5 to 8 days. For goods subject to technical inspection, the importer must submit the commercial invoice, certificate of origin, packing list and technical documents through the single declaration on Tunisie TradeNet (TTN) before the cargo arrives, and the trade, industry or health authority releases them once they pass.

Compliance

Import requirements in Tunisia

Rules change. We check each product by name and HS code before shipping.

  1. Item 01

    Technical import inspection

    Under Decree No. 94-1744 of 1994, goods subject to technical inspection are released only after the competent authority approves them; the inspection checks conformity with technical standards and consumer safety requirements.

  2. Item 02

    TTN single declaration

    Import documents are submitted electronically on Tunisie TradeNet (TTN), including the commercial invoice, certificate of origin, packing list and technical documents, and must be complete before the cargo reaches Radès.

  3. Item 03

    Consistent documents

    Product names, quantities and HS codes on the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin must match. The certificate of origin is obtained by the Chinese exporter from CCPIT or China Customs before shipment.

FAQ: shipping from China to Tunisia

Which goods need technical inspection in Tunisia?

The scope of technical inspection is published by the authorities by product category, and whether goods are in scope is confirmed by HS code. Send us the product names and HS codes and we can check first, and remind you to prepare technical documents and test reports early.

How is the certificate of origin for Tunisia obtained?

The Chinese exporter applies to CCPIT or China Customs before shipment. Product names, quantities and HS codes must match the commercial invoice and packing list, otherwise Tunisian customs may ask for corrections. We can check these documents with you before shipping.
