Good local distributors are crucial to introducing products into Tunisia. Their knowledge of the local market and local contacts can make the difference between success and failure. The Embassy's Commercial Section provides both the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Company Profile and the International Partner Search services to assist U.S. firms find potential partners.
For U.S. companies, the best business opportunities are in sectors that will benefit from U.S. technology: hydrocarbons, power generation, transportation, and telecommunications, or to a lesser extent, in the more labor-intensive offshore, export-oriented industries such as the manufacture of textiles and mechanical or electrical equipment.
Trade specialists in the region continue to report many export opportunities for US businesses. To explore these opportunities, interested US business development executives should contact Mr. Sami Aouadhi, Economic Commercial Section, US Embassy in Tunisia or Mr. Rick Ortiz, Regional Commercial Service for Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, (based in Morocco).
