Parcel and container shipping from Montreal to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

Message us on WhatsApp at +1 514-718-0282 describing your shipment. We give you a price and the next sailing, you drop the cargo at 6135 boul. Couture in Saint-Léonard (or we collect it), and we measure and load it into a consolidation container leaving Montreal for Ouagadougou.

There is no single rate: price depends on real volume, cargo type, handover method and local charges on arrival. Send us your packing list with dimensions and we build an accurate price, without invented figures.

Yes. Personal effects — clothing, shoes, household items, bedding, small appliances — make up most consolidation shipments to Ouagadougou. They simply need to be itemised on the packing list.

Yes, clothing travels very well in consolidation to Ouagadougou, in cartons, vacuum bags or compressed bales. For used clothing intended for resale, a commercial invoice is required.

Yes. Pallets are an ideal consolidation format: forklift-friendly, stackable and easy to measure. Wrap it firmly and give us its dimensions and weight with your rate request for Ouagadougou.

At minimum: your ID, full consignee details in Ouagadougou and a detailed packing list. Add a commercial invoice for trade goods, and the title plus purchase invoice for a vehicle.

Transit depends on the next loading in Montreal, the vessel booked and arrival conditions. We do not promise a fixed duration: we give you the loading date and the carrier's estimate at booking, then keep you informed.

Cargo is presented to the Burkinabè customs administration, which assesses duties and taxes on the nature, quantity and declared value of the goods. Those charges are paid on arrival by the consignee and are not included in the freight price.

At our warehouse, 6135 boul. Couture, Saint-Léonard, QC H1P 3G7. Let us know before coming so someone can receive and weigh your cargo. Pickup can also be arranged across Quebec and Ontario.

Message us on WhatsApp at +1 514-718-0282 and we confirm the next available loading date to Ouagadougou. We do not publish a fixed calendar because real dates depend on container fill and carrier schedules.

Yes. You get a file reference, the Montreal loading confirmation, then sailing details and an estimated arrival. Follow-up happens on WhatsApp, answered by the person actually handling your file.

Below the volume of a 20-foot container, consolidation is almost always cheaper. Above that, or if you want to choose the loading date and keep your cargo separate, we book a full container to Ouagadougou.

Flammables, pressurised aerosols, gas cylinders, chemicals, weapons, ammunition, protected species, counterfeits and cash. If you are unsure about an item, send us a photo before packing it.

Yes, we regularly ship resale lots to Ouagadougou. You need a commercial invoice, an accurate customs description and, in some cases, the consignee's tax identification number.

Yes, in a container only. VELOX Logistics does not offer RoRo service: vehicles are secured inside a container, alone or with cargo, departing from Montreal. Title and purchase invoice are required.

Yes. Customers in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton and Ottawa ship to Ouagadougou regularly. The cargo is simply moved to our Montreal warehouse, where the container is loaded.

No, Burkina Faso is landlocked. Cargo arrives through Lomé, Abidjan or Cotonou and then reaches Ouagadougou by road corridor; the entry port is chosen at booking.

Most often the corridor from Lomé, though Abidjan and Cotonou are also used. The choice depends on sailings available from Montreal and corridor conditions at the time.

You must allow for the ocean leg plus the road corridor. That inland portion is the most variable and we never present it as guaranteed.

Since Burkina Faso is landlocked, goods arrive by sea in Lome, Abidjan or Cotonou depending on the routing selected at booking, then are transported by road to Ouagadougou.

Duration depends on the carrier line, the vessel, customs clearance at the transit port and the road relay to Burkina Faso. No fixed duration is guaranteed; it is confirmed at booking based on the chosen routing.

Yes, shipping motorcycles and vehicles to Ouagadougou is possible, usually via full container, taking into account the inter-state transit formalities applicable between the regional port and Burkina Faso.

Yes, groupage works well for moderate volume family shipments, sharing the container with other shipments through to the transit port serving Ouagadougou.

Contact our team on WhatsApp at +1 514-718-0282 or by email at booking@veloxlogistics.io, specifying the nature and volume of your goods, to receive an assessment tailored to your shipment.
