What “Tunisian-Made” Means Here

- 1 min read
“Tunisian-made” on this platform refers to objects whose primary transformation occurs within Tunisia.
The designation is based on place of making, not inspiration, styling, or narrative framing.
An object qualifies when its substantive making — shaping, forming, weaving, carving, assembling, or equivalent — takes place within Tunisia using production knowledge anchored in identifiable regions.
Material origin is considered as part of assessment, but material alone is not determinative. The use of Tunisian raw materials does not qualify an object if primary transformation occurs elsewhere. Likewise, final assembly or finishing in Tunisia does not qualify an object whose substantive making occurred outside the country.
Design authorship is not the determining factor. Objects may be designed locally or externally, provided the making process itself is based in Tunisia and meets qualification standards.
Each object is assessed individually against documented criteria relating to process verification, regional context, and production continuity. Where verification is incomplete or unclear, the designation is not applied.
The term “Tunisian-made” does not claim cultural representation or national exhaustiveness. It indicates production origin under defined standards.
The term is used as a factual descriptor.
