Mauritania presents opportunities for bringing IT and telecom equipment into the market, but navigating its regulatory and operational landscape can be difficult. Importers must prepare for bureaucratic procedures, high duties, and underdeveloped logistics that often slow down clearance and increase costs.
Importers face a maze of paperwork, with multiple approvals and certifications required for IT and telecom equipment. Missing or incomplete customs clearance documentation can hold shipments at customs.
Tech products are subject to elevated import duties and VAT. Without proper valuation and accurate HS code classification, costs can quickly escalate.
Informal costs and corruption risks are common during the customs clearance process, making trusted local representation essential to minimize shipment delays and prevent penalties.
Limited inland transport infrastructure and weak distribution systems increase shipping times and last-mile delivery costs.
Secure permits and approvals for IT, telecom, and high-tech imports
Provide accurate HS code classification, documentation, and valuation
