If you are shipping to Togo, it is mandatory to obtain an ECTN certificate. The certification process takes approximately one week and it is important to ensure that all documents are complete and consistent to avoid delays or penalties. The shipper is responsible for obtaining the ECTN certificate and failure to do so may result in fines. If you are shipping in transit to another destination in Togo, you will also need to obtain an ECTN certificate for that final destination. Even if your shipment is transiting from the Republic of Togo to another country, you will still need to obtain an ECTN document. For example, a shipment going to Burkina Faso via Togo will require both a Burkina Faso and Togo certificate.

The countries where shipments transit most through Togo are:

*Burkina Faso

*Mali

*Niger

The required documents are:

Bill of Lading

Commercial Invoice

Freight Invoice

Customs Declaration
