U.S. companies and investors operating in Chad must navigate a customs clearance process where significant processing and clearance delays are frequent. Customs data in Chad is analog, nearly all customs forms are stored on paper instead of digitally, and legal changes are not always transmitted to customs agents. Working with a customs broker may be beneficial, especially to new market entrants.
