Customs transit, file management, truck coordination and document tracking: the Transit & Customs division coordinates transit operations from Bamako, in line with customs regulations.
For a landlocked country like Mali, every import or export passes through a chain of steps and stakeholders: seaports of the sub-region, borders, customs, carriers.
Run by Théodore DAOU, the Transit & Customs division coordinates these operations — files, customs procedures, trucks and transport documents — through to closure.
Transit and customs clearance operations are carried out in line with applicable customs regulations and subject to the required licences and authorisations.
Following up customs procedures for goods in transit, for both imports and exports.
Support with formalities and follow-up of procedures with customs services, in line with applicable customs regulations and subject to the required licences.
Compiling, checking and tracking the file for each operation.
Gathering the required documents, checking their consistency and following the file through to the close of the operation.
Organising and tracking the trucks assigned to each operation.
Coordination with road carriers: pick-up planning, truck tracking and follow-up of each stage of the journey through to destination.
Tracking the documents that travel with the goods.
Checking and tracking transport and customs documents throughout the operation. Requirements vary with the goods, origin, destination and customs procedure.
Every operation is different; the main stages stay the same.
01
You describe the operation: type, goods, origin, destination and timeframe.
02
We identify the formalities and documents required and tell you what to provide.
03
Transit and customs procedures are initiated with the relevant authorities.
04
Transport is coordinated through to destination, with stage-by-stage tracking.
05
The operation is closed and the documents are handed over to you.
For guidance only: the exact list depends on the goods, origin, destination and customs procedure.
Without access to the sea, Mali trades with the world through its neighbours' seaports. These links are at the heart of every transit operation.
Describe your operation and we will come back to you with the information you need.
