Air freight โ€” China to Burkina Faso

Air Freight from China to Ouagadougou starts at USD 28.9 per kilogram, with door-to-door transit of 5-10 business days. A 100 kg shipment works out at roughly USD 2,894 on that rate โ€” indicative freight only.

How these prices are calculated โ€” chargeable weight

Freight is not billed on the number on your bathroom scale. It is billed on chargeable weight: the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight, where volumetric weight is L ร— W ร— H (cm) รท 6000. Denser cargo pays on its weight; light bulky cargo pays on the space it occupies. Whichever is higher is the one you pay โ€” never the lower.

  • One cubic metre = 167 kg. That is 1,000,000 cmยณ รท 6000, the same divisor used for the volumetric check, so both sides of this page agree with each other.
  • Per-kilogram channels. The rate is multiplied by chargeable weight, rounded up to the next whole kilogram. A 300 kg consignment that only measures out to a smaller volumetric figure is still charged on its 300 kg actual weight.
  • Freight only. These are published freight rates. Duty, tax and customs charges at destination are not a fixed number we can print: they follow your product's HS code, its declared value and the exchange rate applied on the day of entry, so they are confirmed against your actual goods and quoted separately.
  • Indicative only โ€” the real price can be higher or lower. Nothing on this page is a quotation or a commitment. What you finally pay depends on what the product is, how it is packed, the chargeable weight, the declared value, the destination duty position and the exchange rate at the time. Send the product details, weight and dimensions and we will price your specific shipment.

EXW Ex Works

Buyer takes over at the seller's door and carries every cost from there. Lowest quoted price, highest buyer workload.

FCA Free Carrier

Seller clears the goods for export and hands them to the carrier the buyer nominated.

FAS Free Alongside Ship

Sea and inland waterway only. Seller delivers alongside the vessel; loading is on the buyer.

FOB Free On Board

Sea and inland waterway only. Risk passes once the goods are on board. The most common buying term.

CFR Cost and Freight

Seller pays the main carriage but carries no insurance obligation; risk still passes on loading.

CIF Cost, Insurance and Freight

As CFR, plus the seller must buy and pay for cargo insurance (minimum cover unless you agree more).

CPT Carriage Paid To

Any mode. Seller pays carriage through to the named destination; insurance is not obligatory.

CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid

As CPT, plus the seller must insure the cargo through to the named destination.

DAT Delivered At Terminal (DPU)

Seller delivers unloaded at the named terminal. Renamed DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded) in Incotermsยฎ 2020.

DAP Delivered At Place

Seller delivers to your address ready for unloading; import clearance and duty stay with the buyer.

DDP Delivered Duty Paid

Seller carries everything through to your door, duty and tax included. Highest quoted price, least buyer workload.

Two things worth flagging. Under CIF and CIP the seller is obliged to buy cargo insurance and pay the premium; under every other term insurance is optional, and we recommend buyers arrange their own cover so a loss or damage in transit is recoverable. And this table is a working summary for planning purposes โ€” the binding definitions are the ones published by the International Chamber of Commerce in the Incoterms® rules, so confirm the exact term wording in your sales contract before you ship.

Service Details

China → Burkina Faso Air Duty-Paid Cleared

Shipping from China to Burkina Faso by air freight, priced per KG. The tiers below are the live rate card for this channel; they move with the market, so the refresh date under the table is the date the numbers were last confirmed rather than the date the page was built.

This channel is quoted duty paid, which means the figure below already carries import duty and tax for Burkina Faso โ€” you are not asked for a second payment at the border. For reference, the underlying regime is: Import VAT + duty 5โ€“35%; PSI common. Duty-paid pricing is worth comparing carefully against a duty-unpaid quote, because the cheaper headline number is frequently the one that excludes the tax.

Space on this lane tightens through Octโ€“Dec, which is peak season for Burkina Faso. Rates published outside that window are not a reliable guide to what you will pay inside it, so if your order lands in peak, book earlier rather than budgeting from an off-peak figure.

Current Rate Card

  • 21-100 โ€” USD 201 per KG
  • 101 โ€” USD 201 per KG
  • 301 โ€” USD 195 per KG
  • 501 โ€” USD 194 per KG
  • 1001 โ€” USD 191 per KG

Last refreshed 2026-08-06.

Every consignment on this service is measured as well as weighed. Volumetric weight is Lร—Wร—H in centimetres divided by 6000 โ€” one cubic metre counted as roughly 166.7 kg โ€” and whichever figure is higher is the one charged. Dense cargo pays on its weight; light bulky cargo pays on its volume, and repacking to raise density is often the cheapest saving available on a Burkina Faso shipment.

Typical cargo on this route: wire & cable (HS 85 / 8541), where clearance turns on cE and IEC conformity, and a check that voltage and grid code match the destination, tableware (HS 94) and fabric (HS 50โ€“63 / 64 / 42). If yours is on that list the commodity page is worth two minutes โ€” it covers how the goods should leave the factory, how they should sit in the container, and the failure mode we see most often on this kind of freight.

To see this tariff against a real consignment rather than a rate card, the 10 KG, 21 KG, 50 KG and 100 KG pages run it at a fixed weight and show the landed total, including the point where stepping up a bracket lowers your cost per kilo. They are the fastest way to check whether consolidating two orders into one is worth the wait.

The table above prices the lane, but most buyers arrive with a consignment already in mind. If yours has a known weight, the 10 KG, 21 KG, 50 KG and 100 KG breakdowns run this tariff against a fixed shipment so you see a landed number rather than a rate per kilo, and the China to Burkina Faso Air Freight Cost page sets every channel we run on this lane side by side. For the wider picture including documentation and duty, start from shipping from China to Burkina Faso.

Additional Information

Booking Conditions and Destination Requirements

Chargeable weight on this service is the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight, with volumetric calculated as length ร— width ร— height in centimeters divided by 6000. For anything light and bulky the volumetric figure is the one that bills, which is why carton dimensions are worth optimizing before you book rather than after the cargo is weighed at the airport.

  • General commercial cargo. Battery, magnetic, liquid and powder content must be declared at booking, not on arrival
  • Chargeable weight is the greater of actual and volumetric weight (divisor 6000)
  • Fuel and security surcharges, remote-area delivery and oversize handling are quoted on top where they apply
  • Clearance at destination is handled by the national customs service
  • Burkina Faso de-minimis: No practical de-minimis โ€” commercial consignments sit above it and are dutiable in full
  • Destination conformity: Pre-shipment conformity certificate

On the duty side, the applicable regime is: Import VAT + duty 5โ€“35%; PSI common. Those are planning references rather than a ruling: the rate that binds is the one assessed against your declared HS code at the moment of entry, and classification is where most landed-cost surprises actually originate.

Paperwork closes more shipments into Burkina Faso late than freight does. Invoice, packing list and any certificate of origin have to describe the same goods at the same value, and the description has to be specific enough to classify โ€” 'electronic parts' is not a description, it is an invitation to be examined.

Where these numbers come from

Duty and tax figures on this page are planning estimates. The binding assessment is made by the national customs service against your declared HS code at the time of entry; where the amount is material, verify the current rate through ITC Market Access Map before committing to an order.

If you want to sanity-check a duty figure yourself, start from the heading rather than the product name โ€” the WCO Harmonized System is the underlying nomenclature, and the WTO Tariff & Trade Data portal holds the applied rates by country pair.

On the air side, anything with a cell or a battery in it, plus liquids, powders, magnets and aerosols, is governed by the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. Those articles are not refused outright, but they need to be declared at booking so the shipment is built correctly โ€” declaring them late is the single most common cause of an air consignment being offloaded.

On the origin side, export declaration and any commodity inspection requirement fall under China Customs (GACC); we handle that filing as part of the service, but the requirement is theirs, not ours.

For a wider view of how importing into Burkina Faso actually works โ€” documentation norms, inspection behavior, the paperwork that tends to hold shipments โ€” the U.S. ITA guide to Burkina Faso customs regulations is a useful independent read alongside our own lane notes.

Burkina Faso Air Freight Checklist

  • Label every carton with destination, carton number, and total count (e.g. 3/12).
  • Book 2-3 days before your target ETD; same-day air bookings usually carry premium rates.
  • Keep single cartons under 30 KG for air handling to Burkina Faso to avoid overweight surcharges.
  • Lithium batteries and liquids need pre-approval on most air routes โ€” declare them upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Air DDP Cleared from China to Burkina Faso take?

Why these three decide everything

They determine whether your cargo can fly, and on which service. A declared battery changes the price; an undeclared one grounds the shipment at the airport and you pay storage while it sits. Unauthorised brands are seized at customs and the freight is lost with them. Magnetic goods need a field test โ€” routine, but it has to be booked ahead.
