Imports are processed through the TradeNet single window, and hazardous or controlled chemicals may need technical approval from the relevant ministry before customs releases them. APIs are supervised by the Direction de la Pharmacie et du Médicament at the Ministry of Health, and some pharmaceutical imports are channelled through the state Pharmacie Centrale, so check which route applies to your order. French documentation is standard. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules. There is no India–Tunisia trade agreement in force.
