About Chad
Chad is a landlocked country situated in Central Africa. French and Arabic are the official languages, and the economy is primarily based on oil exploration, agriculture, and livestock herding.
The spirits market
Alcohol is legal for adults aged 18, though open public consumption is culturally restricted in northern and eastern regions. Registered businesses require an Importer Card and Prior Import Declaration, facing a 30% import duty, 25% excise tax, and 18% VAT. Local producers manufacture spirit coolers, RTD cocktails, whiskey, gin, and liqueurs. Amid strict crackdowns on counterfeit and sachet spirits, commercial opportunities center on premium, certified international brands distributed to formal supermarkets and international hotels in N'Djamena.
