Gone are the days when any vehicle could enter Burkina Faso through the Cinkansé border post:ast region, the high commissioner of the Koulpélogo province, Ousmane Ouattara. According to the Director General of Land and Maritime Transport (DGTTM), Colonel Kanou Coulibaly, this is the culmination of a process started in 1973, enshrined in a law in 1994 which continued with the adoption of a implementing decree in 2017 and an interministerial decree in 2019. He recalled that the objective of these counters is to identify any vehicle as soon as it leaves the store or as soon as it enters Burkina. 'It's the baptism of your vehicle. Because article 4 of the 1994 law provides that no vehicle may travel on the road open to public traffic unless it is registered. It's a question of texts and these are made to be applied,' insisted Colonel Coulibaly. The DGTTM explained that for an individual, they need their identity document, their valid telephone number, the customs document and the fees of 12,500 F CFA for the moto r vehicle and 9,500 F CFA for motorcycles or tricycles. to obtain the adhesive strip with the 'WW'. The validity period is 30 days, renewable once.Beware of violatorsAs for vehicle manufacturers, dealers, vehicle resellers, garages, companies, they must send a request for approval, also called the 'W card', to the minister in charge of transport. This card has a number. 'If, I put the vehicles on a tank carrier, at this moment, I do not need to register them provisionally... But if each vehicle drives to enter the national territory, at this moment, I produce the registration card provisional registration which will bear the same number as my approval but with series for each vehicle,' explained Kanou Coulibaly. He confided that the cost of this approval is 50,000 CFA francs per year. 'This registration does not mean that you have exempted yourself from customs duties. No. It allows you to move around peacefully without being anxious for a certain time,' however warned the general director.For the high commissioner of the Koulpélogo province, Ousmane Ouattara, given the security situation, no citizen should evade this law. 'Respecting this law is about the security of each citizen and of Burkina. Any offender will be exposed to sanctions,' he warned.
