The equipment market in Mali
Gold is Mali's main export, and gold mines in the south and west are the biggest users of heavy equipment.
Irrigated rice and cotton farming use tractors, and road building adds construction demand. Most dealers are in Bamako.
Importing and registering equipment in Mali
Routes in
Mali is landlocked. Equipment usually comes through Dakar, Abidjan, Conakry or Lomé and then by road or rail.
Cargo tracking note
Sea shipments need a cargo tracking note (BESC) issued before loading. Your freight forwarder normally arranges it.
Customs
Clearance is through Malian 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.
