Foreign companies or Sudanese companies with foreign ownership are not allowed to work in export/import/general trade – they are prohibited from conducting business in these three activities in Sudan, therefore they should have a local distributor or agent

Foreign businesses wishing to contract local agent/distributors should be aware of the risks.

We have counseled  foreign clients in various industry sectors on how to minimise risk and ensure that their potential is maximised in Sudan. We have worked with clients in industry sectors such as Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare, Transport, Automotive, Cosmetics, and Food and Agriculture.

We have previously advised General Electric Healthcare on aspects of distribution and agency agreements and central bank regulations (particularly foreign exchange regulations) relating to its operations in Sudan, including Hikma and many others.
