Welcome to MDE. Ivory Coast is the engine of French-speaking West Africa: the port of Abidjan — the continent's second largest — moves 70% of its landlocked neighbours' trade. For your parcel that means serious infrastructure: SYDAM electronic clearance, the ECOWAS tariff and 18% VAT. Plus a detail that favours us: the EPA agreement with the EU removes duty on many European products. Here is the detail.
We take care of your merchandise as if they were ours!
All shipments have a tracking number included!
Prohibited Items: The Ivorian list protects local production:
Restricted Items:
The Ivorian rule of thumb: an impeccable invoice, documented EU origin where it exists and zero items from the local list (sugar, analogue TVs, plastic bags): that way SYDAM releases fast.
Our priority is that you feel safe and accompanied at all times!

Ivory Coast bans drugs, weapons and counterfeits; commercial used clothing and certain plastics are restricted. Check the restrictions section on this page before buying; it has the full list with the nuances.
Yes, always. The Direction Générale des Douanes clears with SYDAM World (24/7) integrated in the GUCE-CI single window; in the postal channel, La Poste manages parcels (CN22/CN23) with its handling fees. Declare the real purchase value: obvious undervaluation means retention and penalties that cost more than the tax. We prepare the declaration for you from your invoice.
Medicines with prescription; food and cosmetics with control; radio equipment with ARTCI approval. If the permit never arrives, or the item is outright prohibited, it gets seized. That is why it pays to ask us BEFORE buying any regulated product: we will tell you which paper it needs and how to get it.
No real allowance: any parcel with commercial value is taxed. ECOWAS CET duty (clothing 20%) + para-fiscal fees (statistics 1%, PCS 0.8%, PCC 0.5%, African Union 0.2%) + 18% VAT. The European edge: the EU-Ivory Coast EPA reduces duties on documented European-origin goods. The quoting tool shows the breakdown. The courier may add a small clearance handling fee. Our quoting tool shows the real total before you buy.
Three keys: express shipping, a clear invoice with the real value (avoids manual review) and no regulated item without its prior permit. Consolidating in your MDE locker also helps: one well-documented shipment clears better than several small ones.
5 to 10 working days from Europe depending on service, plus SYDAM clearance (agile with correct papers). Your MDE dashboard shows the real options with their timelines before you trigger the shipment.
Don\'t panic: most holds are about paperwork, not violations. The courier notifies you of the reason; it is almost always solved by providing the purchase invoice, the prescription or the missing permit. Write to us with your tracking number and we will manage the case with you until release.
Every shipment includes a tracking number. Follow it on the carrier\'s site or straight from your MDE dashboard, stage by stage: departure from our warehouse, transit, customs clearance and delivery in Ivory Coast.
For normal purchases, just the invoice or receipt with the real value: we prepare the rest of the export paperwork and the declaration. Invoice with real value + EU origin declaration if you want the EPA reduction.
Yes, declared at real value; no practical exemption: taxed like any shipment. The EPA also benefits gifts of documented European origin.
The EU-Ivory Coast economic partnership agreement removes duties on covered European-origin products (VAT and fees are still due). Buying a European product with its invoice can save you the 20% duty.
Through the SYDAM World electronic system, available 24/7 and integrated into the GUCE-CI single window. Shipments above one million FCFA require pre-shipment inspection, personal effects excepted.
