The World Bank records a trade-weighted applied tariff of 8.9% for 2022. That average is not the rate on a shipment. The rate you pay is the HS line in the national schedule. World Bank, tariff rate, applied, weighted mean, all products
Duty is set by the national customs tariff for the product’s HS code. A country average is not a rate you can put on an invoice. World Trade Organization, tariff data
The lookup opens the customs schedules the desk already carries. It is not a ruling.
A commercial invoice, a packing list, and a bill of lading or air waybill travel with goods entering Mali. WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement
Add a certificate of origin only when the shipment claims a preferential rate. Without that claim, the most-favoured-nation line applies. WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement
The customs declaration is filed with the customs authority of Mali, usually through a licensed broker and the national single window where one exists. WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement
Exports from Mali carry a commercial invoice and a packing list, plus the transport document issued by the carrier. WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement
The export declaration is filed before the goods leave. Permits for controlled goods, including food, minerals and dual-use items, sit with the sector regulator and are separate from this file. WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement
Republic of Mali is the official name of Mali, in West Africa. The capital is Bamako. The currency is the West African CFA franc (XOF).
Mali is listed here in African Union and UEMOA. A bloc is left off when membership is in doubt.
Mali is landlocked. Seaborne cargo moves through Dakar and Abidjan. Those are transit ports, not domestic seaports.
Population, output and inflation on this page are the latest World Bank values. Exports, imports and partners are UN Comtrade merchandise figures when the public preview published a row. The currency line uses the European Central Bank reference rate, or the official peg where the currency is fixed.
World Bank merchandise exports were $4.9 billion in 2025. Merchandise imports were $7.0 billion in 2025. These are goods totals, not a forecast. The product and partner tables, when shown, are the UN Comtrade breakdown of the same trade.
