In Tunisia your importer or another local applicant files with the Tunisian authority that handles your product, and your importer confirms which one. HYPERPHARM supplies the manufacturer's side of the file: the Certificate of Analysis and specification, copies of the plant's certificates, the Certificate of Free Sale, the Certificate of Manufacture, and the apostille where Tunisia asks for a certified document. Buyers in Tunisia read French and Arabic, so the carton and the label are laid out in French or Arabic, as your importer confirms.
In one line: supplements for Tunisia under your brand, from 100 units in stock packaging and from 2 weeks, with the carton in French or Arabic. Blisters start from 2,000 cartons, with the documents your importer files. Send the product and the quantity through contact us; we answer within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.

Is there a European supplement manufacturer that makes private label products for Tunisia?
Yes. HYPERPHARM makes white label products from more than 500 ready-made formulas, with new ones added every month, and private label products to your own formula. It ships to more than 60 countries, and the team answers in English, French, Arabic and Russian.
Tablets, capsules and softgels can be sealed in blisters with a printed carton, or packed in bottles, tubes, pouches and sachets, and a sample goes out before an order. See white label supplements and private label supplements.
What is the minimum order and lead time for supplements for Tunisia?
The smallest start is a ready-made formula in stock packaging: from 100 units, with production from 2 weeks. A formula of your own starts from 500 bottles per product, with production from 4 weeks. Powders, sachets and sports nutrition start from 300 kg. Full figures by format are on the minimum order page and the lead times page.
A blister run starts from 2,000 cartons and at least 4,000 blisters, with a ready-made formula or your own, and production takes from 2 weeks. Each carton holds 1 to 4 blisters, one kind of tablet or capsule per blister, and the lidding foil is printed with your brand. The same minimum applies to a repeat order. Delivery is worldwide, EXW by default, FCA or DAP on request; transport time comes on top of production.
A first shipment to Tunisia can combine several ready-made formulas in stock packaging; choose them from the ready-made formulas, and see for distributors for an importer's range.
How do I bring a food supplement into Tunisia, and who files?
Your importer or another local applicant files; the approval is the Tunisian authority's decision. Tunisia has no law written specifically for food supplements yet. In March 2026 the parliament's health committee heard manufacturers on a proposed law, and in May 2026 the pharmacists' union asked for health ministry control of supplements, according to the Tunisian press. Your importer therefore confirms the route for your product: which authority takes the file, and what the file lists.
Before the first order, ask your importer for three things in writing: the authority that handles your product, the list of documents for the file, and the label text. HYPERPHARM uses the answers to request the documents together with the batch and to prepare the artwork.
Which documents can the manufacturer supply for a Tunisian file?
Next to each item is what HYPERPHARM supplies. Your importer confirms which of them the Tunisian file asks for.
- Certificate of Analysis and specification. They come with every batch, and go into the file with your importer's other papers.
- Certificate of Free Sale and Certificate of Manufacture. HYPERPHARM arranges both when your importer's file needs them. See export documents.
- Apostille and legalisation. Tunisia is a party to the Apostille Convention, so an apostille is possible, and HYPERPHARM arranges it where Tunisia asks for a certified document. Consular legalisation is arranged as well where the country of sale asks for it.
- Site certificates. Copies of the plant's ISO 22000, GMP and HACCP certificates go out on request, with their numbers. The certificates are issued by BM Certification: ISO 22000:2018 is valid to 7 January 2029, and HACCP and GMP for food supplements to 17 May 2027. The plant is also registered with the US Food and Drug Administration as a food facility (quality).
- Leaflet. A printed leaflet goes into the carton, to your artwork.
- Samples and a plant visit. A sample goes out before an order, and a visit to the plant can be arranged.
What language should a supplement carton for Tunisia carry?
Your importer confirms the language for your product, and buyers in Tunisia read French and Arabic. HYPERPHARM lays out and prints the carton, the label and the leaflet in French or Arabic, or in both, to the text your importer gives, or prints from your own artwork. See Arabic and French packaging.
The batch number, production date and expiry date are printed on the carton, or applied as the blisters are cartoned, and standard shelf life is 24 months. If your importer asks for a registration number or the importer's name and address on the pack, the layout leaves room for them, and the final artwork is approved once your importer gives them. Send the layout for approval before print.
Does Tunisia accept an apostille on export documents?
Yes. Tunisia has been a party to the Apostille Convention since 30 March 2018, according to the HCCH status table of 30 June 2026. Between two parties an apostille holds unless one of them objected to the other's accession, and the table records objections to Tunisia's accession, so your importer confirms the route for the documents that go into your file.
Ask your importer for the current list before you order, so the certificates and the apostille are requested together with the batch.
Can I order now, while Tunisia's supplement law is being prepared?
Yes. A formula, a format and a carton can be prepared in parallel with your importer's enquiry to the authority, so the first order does not wait for a new law. A sample and a quote come first, and the artwork is approved before print.
Settle the label text with your importer before the carton goes to print, because rules that are being prepared can change between artwork and arrival. A first run in stock packaging, from 100 units, lets you test the market while the file moves.
Do blisters suit Tunisia's climate?
WHO's list gives Tunisia a long-term condition of 25 °C/60% RH, zone II. In a blister each dose stays sealed in its own cavity until it is pushed out, and how much moisture reaches it depends on the film: PVC, PVC/PVDC and cold-formed aluminium (alu-alu) are offered as options for your product, and the film is confirmed in our reply.
The WHO list is written for medicines, so for a supplement it is a reference; your importer confirms what the Tunisian authority accepts. See climatic zones by country and shelf life and storage.
Can one product serve Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt?
Yes, with a carton for each market. Egypt asks for Arabic and English on the outer and the inner pack for a product the Egyptian Drug Authority registers, Morocco puts the registration number and the importer's name and address on the imported pack, and Tunisia's language is the one your importer confirms. Plan one artwork for each country, approved one by one, and a document route for each.
The documents differ too. Tunisia and Morocco are parties to the Apostille Convention, and Egypt is not, so an Egyptian file goes through an embassy or consulate. WHO's list gives Egypt 30 °C/65% RH and Tunisia and Morocco 25 °C/60% RH. See North Africa, Morocco, Egypt and Africa.
Can I have halal supplements for Tunisia?
Yes, when your market asks for it. Halal is arranged for each batch of your product: a certification body visits and issues the certificate, or an auditor is present at production. Raise it in your enquiry, before the carton is printed. See halal supplements.
What your product decides
Each line shows what the route gives you and what to plan for.
| Your product or plan | What you get | What to plan for |
|---|---|---|
| A ready-made formula in stock packaging | A low-quantity start for a first shipment or a trial range | Quantity: from 100 units, production from 2 weeks |
| Tablets or capsules in a blister | One kind per blister, lidding foil printed with your brand, 1 to 4 blisters in a carton | Quantity and time: from 2,000 cartons and 4,000 blisters, from 2 weeks of production |
| A first filing in Tunisia | Documents from the plant: Certificate of Analysis, specification, Certificate of Free Sale, Certificate of Manufacture, apostille | Time: your importer names the authority and the list first, and the review is the authority's |
| Carton text in French or Arabic | A pack that Tunisian buyers read, with room for the importer's details | Time: settle the label text with your importer; approve the layout before print |
| A supplement law still being prepared | A first order and the artwork prepared in parallel with your importer's enquiry | Risk: requirements may change between artwork and arrival; confirm before print |
| A moisture-sensitive formula | The film decides the barrier: PVC, PVC/PVDC or alu-alu | Risk: stability data for 25 °C/60% RH may not extend to a hotter market such as Egypt at 30 °C/65% RH; ask your importer what the authority accepts |
| Halal asked for by a buyer | Arranged for each batch, by one of two routes | Time: raise it in your enquiry, before the carton is printed |
