How much is car import duty in Ivory Coast?

Base customs duty is 20% of CIF, and 3 further charges sit on top: Statistical levy, ECOWAS levy, VAT. The order matters, because VAT is charged on the charges as well as on the car. Put your own FOB and freight figures into the calculator above to see the total.

Is Ivory Coast duty charged on the price I paid for the car?

Customs value is the CIF value at Abidjan. The duty band follows the UEMOA common external tariff and the vehicle classification, so the default below is a planning figure, not an assessment.

What is not included in these figures?

Port charges at both ends, terminal handling, demurrage if a unit sits, agent and clearing fees at destination, and registration or number plates after clearance. Any inland transport line is shown separately where it applies, because it is a road cost rather than a customs charge. Ask for a quote and every one of these is itemised.

Origine de ces chiffres

UEMOA Common External Tariff
Ivory Coast Directorate General of Customs (DGI) import procedures

Abidjan is the distribution hub for Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, so a single consignment can be split inland after clearance.
A valid COC is what decides whether the unit clears or sits; it is arranged in China before loading.
