Issued by the Governor of the BCEAO, this Instruction establishes strict import and export conditions for banknotes and coins denominated in foreign currencies handled by authorized intermediaries. It mandates that all such transactions be declared to customs and carriers at a fixed value of 100,000 CFA per package, while requiring intermediaries to submit monthly summary reports using designated annex models no later than ten working days after month-end. The directive fully repeals prior related provisions and enters into force on August 1, 2025.
