How to Import a Left-Hand-Drive Pickup Truck to West Africa (Step by Step)
A practical walkthrough of sourcing, documentation, shipping and clearance for buyers bringing an LHD pickup into a West African port for the first time.
These three models cover the bulk of our new-pickup export orders, and each has a genuinely different sweet spot.
The GWM Poer is available in both 2.4T diesel and 2.0T petrol, across 2WD and 4WD, commercial and passenger trims — the widest configuration spread of the three, with published volume pricing tiers (roughly $14,300/unit for 1–4 units, $13,800/unit for 5+).
The JAC T9 leans toward passenger-oriented double-cab buyers wanting a more refined interior alongside solid payload figures. The Foton Tunland (also available as used stock) is a strong fit for commercial/utility fleets prioritizing lowest landed cost per unit.
If your buyer profile is government or private passenger fleets, start with the Poer or T9. If it is agriculture, construction or general utility fleets at volume, the Tunland lineup — new or used — usually wins on total cost per unit. Message us with your target application and destination and we'll shortlist the right configuration.
