Importing to Togo

The import process in Togo can be slow and complex due to numerous bureaucratic obstacles, which often increase both the cost and duration of importing IT and tech products. Like many African countries, Togo requires both pre- and post-inspections, adding to the complexity of the process. Togo's underdeveloped infrastructure, including its transportation and communication systems, further complicates and raises the costs of importing and distributing IT and tech products. Additionally, high import duties and taxes imposed by the Togolese government contribute to these increased expenses. Situated between Benin and Ghana, Togo boasts a burgeoning startup ecosystem that is developing innovative solutions for local challenges, presenting opportunities for collaboration with international technology companies. Although Togo may not yet rival tech leaders like Nigeria and South Africa, it holds significant potential. Discover more about importing into Africa here!
