Overview

Doing a steel project in Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso is in Western Africa. The capital is Ouagadougou. Local currency: West African CFA franc (XOF).

Burkina Faso has no coastline: shipments arrive through a seaport in a neighbouring country (Benin, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Togo) and continue by road or rail.

Vietnam has no free trade agreement in force with Burkina Faso. Imports follow the general tariff of Burkina Faso, which is checked for each project in the landed cost estimate.

Victor Dang, Global Sales Director of World Steel Group, is the direct contact for projects in Burkina Faso, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
