Senegal buyers need Dakar routing, French documentation, and ASER/mini-grid evidence before approving supplier shortlists. We prepare the buying file an EPC, distributor, or project owner needs before internal approval: landed-cost estimate, technical documents, compliance path, lead time, and container loading.
