DAP or DDP: the destination costs in Senegal
Incoterms decide who pays, not who does the work. We run the destination side in both cases and bill each line to the party you tell us.
| Cost at destination | DAP | DDP |
|---|---|---|
| Main freight to Dakar | Seller | Seller |
| Port / airport terminal and handling charges | As agreed in the sales contract, so we quote them before arrival | Seller |
| Customs clearance fees | Buyer | Seller |
| Import duties and taxes (customs duty, levies, 18% VAT) | Buyer | Seller, advanced by us and invoiced at cost |
| Delivery to the named place | Seller | Seller |
| Unloading at the named place | Buyer | Buyer, unless agreed otherwise |
Summary based on Incoterms 2020. Your sales contract takes precedence: send it with the pre-alert and we follow it line by line.
From your commercial invoice to proof of delivery
- Estimate
Duty estimate before you quote
Send the commercial invoice and HS codes. We return an estimate of duties and taxes in XOF, so you can price DDP correctly.
- Documents
Checked before shipping
We review invoice, packing list and any permits for regulated goods before departure, when problems are still cheap to fix.
- Funds
Duties paid on your instruction
Senegalese customs must be paid before release. We pay once funds are received, or on terms agreed with established partners.
- Clearance
Declaration and release
Declaration lodged through licensed customs brokers, inspection followed on site, release and delivery order obtained.
- Close
Delivery and invoice
Delivery with photos and signed POD. Duties are invoiced at cost with official receipts, separate from our fees.
What we need for a smooth clearance
- Commercial invoice with value, currency, Incoterm and HS codes
- Packing list with weights and dimensions
- Bill of lading or air waybill
- Consignee name, address and NINEA for companies in Senegal
- Certificate of origin when a preferential rate applies
- Permits or certificates for regulated goods (health, food, pharma, telecoms)
- Exemption documents if the consignee benefits from one
Before you sell DDP Senegal
- The consignee in Senegal is normally the importer of record, so we need their details and tax number before arrival.
- Duties and taxes are calculated in XOF on the CIF value. Customs may reassess the value; we tell you before paying.
- Regulated goods need their authorisation before shipping, not after arrival. Ask us which applies.
- Moving personal effects? Different rules apply, so tell us at quote stage.
