Assessed on the CIF value at the port of entry, plus the inland leg. Duty band from the UEMOA 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.
