What is the Togo ECTN Certificate?

Many shipments leave the port of Lomé, Togo, for transit to other countries. Even if your cargo is only in transit to another destination, the ECTN certificate is still required. This necessitates obtaining both the Togo and the final destination certifications. Togo Customs Officials made this a law in 2000, so it’s important to check the procedure if your shipment is headed elsewhere.
