Decree No. 2018-0595 / P-RM of 24 July 2018 amends the regulation concerning customs exemptions of diplomatic missions and their staff. The measure, applicable from 03 October 2018, will result in several administrative changes that require us to reapply for an exemption (the process will take an average of one month). This means that all current Mali-bound shipments will be blocked at Bamako airport and the Port of Dakar until the new documents are modified according to the decree. Any blocking of shipments will result in additional charges at the ports.
