Discusses the prevalence and reliability of express delivery firms within the country, time from large U.S. cities, and relevant customs procedures, including de minimis amounts.

Express delivery is available in Niger on a limited basis, though is technically difficult due to the unreliability of local post offices, and the difficulties in reaching private residences and businesses.  Time between major U.S. cities and Niamey is dependent on flight schedules and in-country distribution.  However, one should anticipate waiting at least one month for mail and/or package deliveries. Package deliveries are subject to customs’ inspection upon arrival in the country.
