  1. Routes in

    Niger is landlocked. Equipment usually comes through Cotonou or Lomé, then by road.

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

  3. Customs

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

  4. 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.
