From what I've understood from that chart, the "percentage" is just a difference between imports/exports with the USA. It's not actual tariffs in place by Tunisia ON USA goods. Am I right/wrong ?

Or is Tunisia tariffing the hell out of US Olive Oil in order to protect their local production base

Tunisia applies a shit ton of tariffs on the US imports.
