Burkina Faso is a member of WAEMU and adheres to the Common External Tariff (CET) system. This system places goods into four categories with corresponding tariff rates: 0 percent for social goods, 5 percent for raw materials and capital goods, 10 percent for intermediate goods, and 20 percent for final consumer goods. While this offers a degree of predictability, tariffs can still be a significant cost factor.
