The equipment market in Gabon

Main demand fromMiningForestryOil and gas

Gabon's economy rests on oil, manganese mining at Moanda and timber, and each uses heavy equipment.

Forestry is a big market for logging and wood-handling machines, and road building adds construction demand. Dealers are mostly in Libreville and Port-Gentil.

Importing and registering equipment in Gabon

  1. Ports

    Owendo (Libreville) and Port-Gentil.

    Sea shipments need a cargo tracking note (BIETC) issued before loading. Your freight forwarder normally arranges it.

  3. Customs

    Clearance is through Gabon Customs. Most importers use a licensed clearing agent.

  4. Registering for road use
