Importing to Chad

Chad's tech sector is gradually evolving, presenting opportunities for businesses looking to import IT, telecom, and data center equipment. While the country's data center infrastructure is still in its early stages, factors like low business costs, stable governance, and reliable power supply make Chad an attractive destination for future tech investments.

Key Challenges When Importing to Chad

• Strict Regulatory Compliance—Most tech products require import licenses from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Specialized goods, such as pharmaceutical technology and encrypted devices, require additional approvals.
• Complex Customs Procedures – Importers must complete customs registration, obtain product certifications, and ensure tariff classification using Harmonized System (HS) codes.
• Language & Labeling Requirements—To comply with local trade laws, all imported goods must have accurate labeling in French and Arabic.
• Bureaucratic & Non-Tariff Barriers – Corruption risks, lack of transparency, and administrative delays can complicate customs clearance.
