Buy Used & New Cars from China to Burkina Faso - Wholesale Exporter

Burkina Faso has no seaport, so every unit clears in a neighbouring country first. That makes the inland trucking leg the deciding cost, and it makes this a market to serve alongside an Ivory Coast or Togo consignment rather than on its own.

The rules that decide the deal

Clearance happens at the port of entry — Lomé, Abidjan or Tema — and the unit arrives by road. Import duty follows the tariff of that entry country plus the inland charges, so the same vehicle can land at different costs depending on which corridor is used.

The practical route is to ship into Lomé or Abidjan and hand over at the port or deliver to Ouagadougou by truck. Grouping Burkina units into a container with Ivory Coast or Togo units is what keeps the freight per vehicle sensible.

  • Budget the road leg explicitly: it is the line that makes an inland market look more expensive than it is at the port.

Burkina Faso import questions

What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into Burkina Faso?
Landlocked: clearance happens in Lomé, Abidjan or Tema and the unit arrives by road.
Do Chinese left-hand-drive cars work in Burkina Faso?
Burkina Faso drives on the right, so a left-hand-drive car is the correct vehicle type: the steering wheel is on the side the road requires. Every car we ship is left-hand drive. Clearance happens at the port of entry — Lomé, Abidjan or Tema — and the unit arrives by road. Import duty follows the tariff of that entry country plus the inland charges, so the same vehicle can land at different costs depending on which corridor is used.
Which port does a car from China clear at for Burkina Faso?
Landlocked — cleared at Lomé, Abidjan or Tema and trucked in. The practical route is to ship into Lomé or Abidjan and hand over at the port or deliver to Ouagadougou by truck. Grouping Burkina units into a container with Ivory Coast or Togo units is what keeps the freight per vehicle sensible.
How much does it cost to import a car from China to Burkina Faso?
Customs charges on CIF — the vehicle price plus freight and insurance — and never on the invoice alone. Base duty is 20% of CIF. 4 further lines stack on top: Statistical levy, ECOWAS levy, VAT, Inland transport (estimate). Run the numbers through the landed-cost calculator and treat the result as a planning figure: the final figure exists only once customs assesses the specific vehicle.
How do I know the car is as described before it ships?
Every unit is photographed and videoed at the yard, and the walkaround goes to you before the balance is due. Loading is supervised, and a unit that fails the agreed specification at that point is stopped rather than shipped.
Is it cheaper to ship one car or several to Burkina Faso?
RoRo is the simplest option for a single unit. A 40ft container normally carries two to four cars, so once you have enough volume to fill one, the cost per car drops noticeably — and the vehicles are not exposed on deck. Both are quoted on request for this lane.
