Overview

Doing a steel project in Mali

Mali is in Western Africa. The capital is Bamako. Local currency: West African CFA franc (XOF).

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

Vietnam has no free trade agreement in force with Mali. Imports follow the general tariff of Mali, 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 Mali, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
