6 dealers in South Sudan

The equipment market in South Sudan

Main demand fromOil and gasConstructionFarming

Oil provides almost all of South Sudan's export income, and oil fields, roads and humanitarian logistics are the main users of heavy equipment.

The market is small and most dealers are in Juba. Roads are limited, especially in the rainy season, so plan delivery and service carefully.

Importing and registering equipment in South Sudan

  1. Routes in

    South Sudan is landlocked. Equipment usually comes from Mombasa (Kenya) by road through Uganda and the Nimule border.

  2. Cargo tracking note

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

  3. Customs

    Clearance is through the National Revenue Authority (NRA). 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.

General guidance only. Rules change, so confirm with the official bodies or your clearing agent before you buy. Last checked October 2026.
