How much is car import duty in Senegal?

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 Senegal duty charged on the price I paid for the car?

CIF value at Dakar. Duty band from the UEMOA common external tariff.

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.
