Our Mauritanian customer base spans the Banque Centrale de Mauritanie-supervised commercial banks, the three licensed mobile operators, the newly-inaugurated national Tier 3 data center in Nouakchott (funded by a €15 million European Investment Bank loan and Uptime Institute Tier 3 certified), mining and petroleum operators (SNIM iron ore, offshore gas), and fisheries-sector ERP users. Every part is genuine OEM Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, Cisco UCS / Nexus, IBM, NetApp or EMC, quoted in USD, and shipped with bilingual Arabic / French HS-code-ready commercial invoicing for Mauritanian customs clearance.

Parts We Ship Into Mauritania

Trust Signals for Mauritanian Buyers

Every Mauritania engagement ships with a bilingual proforma invoice in USD (Arabic / French at customer request), OEM part numbers, optional OEM warranty packaging, bench-test photos on request, serial list for every DOA-eligible item, and HS-code classification pre-matched to the Mauritanian customs tariff (HS 8471 for computers and data-processing machines; HS 8473 for server parts and accessories). References from regional banking and telecom customers are available under NDA.

Logistics, Customs and Regulatory

Freight routing: Default path is DHL Express Cairo (ICD account) into Nouakchott Oumtounsy International Airport via hub connections; Aramex routing uses CAI (Priority) and CAI (Economy). Door-to-door transit typically runs 5–7 business days on DHL Priority and 9–14 business days on Aramex Economy. Mauritanian customs clearance adds 2–5 business days depending on the consignee’s NIF (Numéro d’Identification Fiscale) registration.

Customs duty and VAT: Mauritania applies import customs duties of 0%, 5%, 13%, 20% or 22% depending on the nature of the goods; server hardware and ICT spare parts under HS 8471 and HS 8473 commonly fall in the 5%–13% band. Additional import charges include a 1% statistical fee, a 1% Promotion Culture et Sport (PCS) tax since 2011, and a per-declaration data-processing fee (historically 3,000 old ouguiyas, verify current amount). Mauritania’s standard VAT is 16% applied on CIF plus duty at import. Please confirm specific current rates with Mauritanian customs before each shipment (sources: PwC Mauritania tax summaries, Mauritania Tax Booklet 2025 Exco GHA, and Mauritania Trade Portal, all public).

Regulatory authority: The Autorité de Régulation Multisectorielle (ARE) regulates telecommunications and other utilities. In 2025 ARE has been active on subscriber biometric identification enforcement and on 5G licensing, naming Mauritel, Mattel, Chinguitel and Rimatel as provisional 5G license winners. ICD ships rack-mount enterprise hardware that is not subject to ARE type-approval licensing.

Currency and FX: ICD invoices in USD. The Mauritanian ouguiya (MRU, the “new” ouguiya introduced in 2018 replacing the old MRO at 1:10) is a managed float; authorized dealer banks process USD remittance for ICT capital goods routinely. We accept wire transfer to our USD account.

2025–2026 Mauritania enterprise IT update — what changed since April 2026

Mauritania’s enterprise IT footprint expanded sharply between Q1 2025 and Q1 2026 as the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) LNG project reached first production and the country opened its first Tier III data centre. The combination is reshaping demand for ruggedised servers, redundant storage and edge networking gear across Nouakchott, Nouadhibou and the Zouerate iron-ore corridor.

• GTA LNG first gas (December 31, 2024) and first cargo (April 2025) — the BP-operated (56%) Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project, with Kosmos Energy (27%), PETROSEN (10%) and SMH (7%), is now exporting from a 2.3 mtpa floating LNG vessel offshore Mauritania-Senegal. Onshore support facilities in Nouakchott require seismic-data servers, SCADA edge nodes and 24/7 monitoring stacks (bp.com).
• Nouakchott Data Hub launched May 2025 — Mauritania’s first national Tier III-certified data centre, backed by a €15 million European Investment Bank loan, gives banks, ministries and oil-and-gas operators in-country colocation for the first time (TechAfrica News).
• SNIM record iron-ore output of ~14.7 Mt in 2025, targeting 15.5 Mt in 2026 — the state miner is mid-way through a $512M rail upgrade on the 700 km Zouerate–Nouadhibou line, doubling capacity for the new El Aouj and Atomai sites and driving demand for industrial PLCs, storage arrays and SAP/ERP backends (Arab Iron & Steel Union).
• EllaLink subsea cable extension to Nouakchott — Mauritania’s second international subsea link is being added to the EllaLink system, ending single-cable risk for enterprise WAN traffic and enabling true active-active DR between Nouakchott and Lisbon/Fortaleza (DCD).
• Telecel Group acquired Mattel Mauritania — the #2 mobile operator (about 20% market share) is now under Telecel ownership; Mauritel/Moov (Maroc Telecom group, 66% share) and Chinguitel (Huawei-upgraded core, 7%) round out the operator landscape regulated by ARE (APO Group).
• Starlink commercial launch planned 2026 — Mauritania opened a tender for satellite-internet licences in January 2026, with Starlink expected to launch commercial service the same year, complementing fibre for remote SNIM sites and offshore GTA support vessels (ts2.tech).

ICD ships server, storage and networking spares from Cairo to Nouakchott via DHL and Aramex through Casablanca and Dakar transit hubs. All quotes denominated in USD (Mauritanian ouguiya MRU is the local currency, with USD invoicing standard for oil-and-gas, mining and Tier III colocation contracts). Mauritania’s Arab League and African Union memberships place it within ICD’s MENA + Africa coverage scope; AfCFTA preferential origin rules apply on Egyptian re-exports.
