The equipment market in Chad
Oil is Chad's main export and the largest user of heavy equipment, alongside roads and public works.
The market is small and far from the sea, so delivery times are long and parts support matters.
Importing and registering equipment in Chad
Routes in
Chad is landlocked. Equipment usually comes through Douala (Cameroon), partly by rail to Ngaoundéré and then by road.
Cargo tracking note
Sea shipments need a cargo tracking note (BESC) issued before loading. Your freight forwarder normally arranges it.
Customs
Clearance is through Chad Customs. Most importers use a licensed clearing agent.
Registering for road use
Machines used on public roads must be registered and plated with the national vehicle registration authority. Your dealer or a local clearing agent can usually arrange this.
General guidance only. Rules change, so confirm with the official bodies or your clearing agent before you buy. Last checked October 2026.
