Customs and VAT for Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso is an ECOWAS and UEMOA member — applies the ECOWAS Common External Tariff (0–35%). No de minimis — TVA 18% and duty apply from the first value. DGD (Direction Générale des Douanes) manages clearance in Ouagadougou. Burkina Faso is landlocked — shipments arrive via Abidjan or Lomé. Security situation has significantly deteriorated since 2022 (coups, Islamist groups in northern areas). DHL covers Ouagadougou with limited reliability.
