Importing to Mauritania

To import certain tech goods into Mauritania, you'll need a registered entity to act as the Importer of Record (IOR). This IOR must be aware of challenges like corruption and a less-than-ideal logistics setup, which can complicate importing into Mauritania. The import process in Mauritania is complex and time-consuming due to bureaucratic red tape, requiring numerous documents and permits. High import duties and taxes on various goods, including tech and IT products, add to the challenge. Partnering with IOR Africa’s tax and import compliance team ensures your tech shipments comply with customs regulations, avoiding unnecessary delays. Mauritania benefits from duty-free entry to the European market through the Everything-But-Arms initiative and was among the first African nations to endorse the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA), which exempts import taxes for goods and services originating within Africa. However, to navigate customs smoothly, a locally registered entity must act as the IOR. IOR Africa provides comprehensive Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) solutions, whether you aim to import goods into Mauritania or export items from the country. We offer tailored solutions to meet your specific needs, managing all required import regulations and compliance demands. With reliable in-country experts who can navigate the challenging logistics landscape and address potential corruption concerns, IOR Africa ensures a smooth process. We provide accurate cost estimates, ensuring transparency in upfront expenses and on-time tax payments throughout the entire import process.
