Export regulations in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire are part of the overall trade liberalisation policy<\/strong> of the Government. However, for economic reasons on the one hand, and in order to ensure the respect of regulatory provisions (relating to morality, public order and security as well as to the protection of plants, health and life of people and animals), these legislative and regulatory texts have provided for derogatory regimes to the principle of freedom.<\/strong><\/p>

By way of derogation from the provisions of Decree n\u00b093-313 of 11 March 1993<\/a>, the profession of exporter of coffee, cocoa (Conseil Caf\u00e9 \u2013 Cacao<\/a>), pineapple, banana, timber and wood products as well as cashew nuts and cotton (Conseil Coton \u2013 Anacarde<\/a>) is subject to technical approval. This approval from the Ministry concerned is, in general, valid for one (1) year or per season.<\/strong><\/p>

In accordance with C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire\u2019s liberal economic option, the export of any goods or merchandise is free, with the exception of products subject to a Preliminary Authorisation<\/strong> \u2013 see list in Annex D of Decree No. 93-313 of 11 March 1993<\/a> \u2013 and under the Prohibition Regime<\/strong> (raw ivory and certain types of wood) \u2013 see list in Annex E of Decree No. 93-313 of 11 March 1993<\/a>.<\/p>

In addition to the approvals required for certain professions (see above), it is necessary for a legal or natural person wishing to export to have an Importer\/Exporter Code or an Occasional Importer\/Exporter Code. To obtain these codes, please refer to the procedure of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and SME Promotion.<\/p>

Customs Export Procedure: the procedure and documents required for the export of goods is described below \u2013 see Customs<\/a>.<\/p>

The administrative steps before any export of goods from C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire<\/strong> are defined in the Inter-ministerial Order n\u00b02014.127\/MCAPPME\/MPMB of 21 March 2014.<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
