Like many countries, importing dual-use tech goods into Burkina Faso requires a registered entity, known as an Importer of Record, who must have a solid grasp of Burkinabè customs clearance processes.
In Burkina Faso, imports above a certain threshold may need a pre-shipment inspection by COTECNA, an international verification and control service. Inspections can cause delays if any issues arise. TecEx’s compliance experts ensure your tech gear clears all pre-compliance checks and meets COTECNA’s pre-shipment inspection criteria.
Burkina Faso’s proactive adoption of ICT policies within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) makes it an ideal hub for ICT and tech innovation and investment. Nonetheless, you’ll require a locally registered entity to serve as your IOR for hassle-free customs clearance.
