Buyer questions
Which frozen French fries sell best in Benin?
Market demand in Benin commonly includes French Fries 9x9 mm and French Fries 7x7 mm; the exact mix is agreed with each buyer.
Do you sell less than a full container?
No. This corridor is quoted in full container loads (FCL) of approx. 24 - 25 MT net, which keeps the landed cost per kilo competitive. Mixed loads combining several items in one container are possible.
Which Incoterm applies?
Quotes default to CIF Cotonou: the seller pays freight and insurance. Under CFR, the seller pays freight and the buyer insures the goods. Under FOB, the buyer books and pays the freight. CPT is also available on request.
Which authority covers sanitary requirements in Benin?
Benin's Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regulates sanitary and fishery-product requirements through its competent directorates.
What should an importer verify before using Cotonou?
The importer should confirm the current permit, sanitary certificate and inspection requirements with the competent ministry and customs broker before shipment.
