Main Vehicle Ports in Mauritania
Port of Nouakchott
Main planning gateway. Nouakchott is the most practical entry point for many vehicles destined for the capital and central/southern Mauritania, subject to carrier service.
Port of Nouadhibou
Northern alternative. Nouadhibou may be suitable for selected vehicle and commercial routes serving northern Mauritania when the carrier and consignee confirm the service.
The carrier-approved discharge port must appear correctly on the Bill of Lading, and inland transport should be planned before arrival.
Mauritania Vehicle Customs & Documentation
Mauritanian Customs publishes a specific vehicle-clearance procedure. For vehicles imported directly from abroad, the destination file can require the registered Bill of Lading, proof of ownership, the original vehicle registration card for a used vehicle, and the original purchase invoice in the cases specified by customs.
- Registered Bill of Lading
- Proof of ownership
- Original vehicle registration card for used vehicles
- Original purchase invoice where required
- VIN, year, make and model
- Importer/consignee and customs-agent information
- Exemption or temporary-admission documents where applicable
The importer should confirm valuation, duty, taxes and any age or technical restrictions for the exact vehicle before shipping.
