| Sea Freight LCL | 30–50 calendar days | Shared container to Mali port + delivery |
| Sea Freight FCL | 28–45 calendar days | Full container to Mali port + delivery |

the national customs service will generally want: a commercial invoice carrying HS codes and value; a packing list with weights and dimensions; the bill of lading or air waybill; a certificate of origin where it can cut duty; and any commodity-specific certification (Pre-shipment conformity certificate often mandatory). RateHive can prepare and lodge these as part of managed clearance.
Ocean cargo into Mali generally moves through the main commercial seaport; air clears via the primary international airport. We route through whichever gateway gives the fastest onward leg to your delivery address, with clearance handled as a managed service.

Floors vary by channel into Mali: managed air from about 21 KG (occasionally 12 KG), ocean LCL from roughly 1 CBM, and express courier for single parcels. Under 21 KG, express is usually the cheapest way in.
We take the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air), rounded up to the next kilo. For 300 KG this bites hardest on light-but-bulky cargo — re-packing or consolidating cartons can pull you into a cheaper band.
