Buyer questions
Which frozen beef and beef offals sell best in Côte d'Ivoire?
Market demand in Côte d'Ivoire commonly includes Beef Kidneys, Beef Liver, Beef Heart and Oxtail; 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 about 26 t net (25–27.5 t depending on product and packing), 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 Abidjan: 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 oversees sanitary clearance in Côte d'Ivoire?
MIRAH, through its veterinary services, handles sanitary authorization and border inspection for animal-origin imports. Current requirements should be confirmed before shipment.
Which documents are generally required at Abidjan?
Importers generally arrange a MIRAH import authorization and the relevant health certificate, alongside the commercial customs documents. The exact file depends on the product.
