How To Ship Your Motorcycle To Or From Burkina Faso

Typical Shipping Prices – How Much Does It Cost?

• Moving from the U.S. to Burkina Faso is affordable and costs about $1650 to $2400, by using a shared container
• Logistics to haul will include freight shipment and land transportation as Burkina Faso is a landlocked country

Located in the western part of Africa, Burkina Faso is a landlocked country with approximately 105,900 square miles in size. There are six countries surrounding it. These are Mali, Togo, Ghana, Niger, Benin and Ivory Coast. If you intend to move here, it is important to know that there is a lot of documentation and procedures that you need to complete before it will be able to clear the U.S. and the Burkina Faso Customs Authority. We can assist you with planning and implementation of the whole process as we have been in the global industry for over 25 years.

Required Documents

It is essential to ensure that all of the documentation is completed on time and submitted to the respective customs departments in both countries. We can help you organize and submit all of the relevant documents so that they can verify the ownership and authenticate the transit of the bike. You will need to have a few copies of the following documents to import:

• Motorcycle condition report
• Original certificate of title and registration
• Non-sale certificate
• Commercial /purchase invoice
• Original passport
• S. Driver’s license
• International insurance policy
• Diplomatic exemption (as relevant)
• Original Bill of Lading

Cost of Shipment

All vehicles that are imported have to pay the standard import taxes and duties. If you are doing a temporary import, you can expect to pay 6% of the CIF value. Motorcycles being imported will be charged a rate of 35 % of the CIF value.

The cheapest way to move from the United States to Burkina Faso is the container option. Most companies use a large container for moving a multitude of motorcycles together. This helps to share the space and the rate. However, if you are moving and are sending household goods alongside the bike by container method, you will be able to fill up the container with the property that you will want to bring with you. Keep in mind; that you will need to clear all items with customs before you can ship them.

Another way to move is through roll-on roll-off. This form requires that the bike you want to import is operational and can be driven onto the deck of a ship. You cannot have any other accessories like a helmet or saddle bag alongside. It will also need to be cleaned before it is delivered.
