IOR Africa: Your Importer of Record Experts in Togo
Togo’s emerging tech market presents opportunities for international businesses, but the import process for IT and telecom products remains complex. Bureaucratic procedures, inspections, and infrastructure gaps make compliance and logistics planning essential.
Importing into Togo often involves lengthy approval processes and multiple agencies, slowing down clearance and increasing costs.
Like many African countries, Togo requires both pre- and post-shipment inspections. These add time and complexity to the import process, particularly for sensitive or high-value IT goods.
Togo imposes elevated import duties and VAT on tech products, which can significantly impact overall landed costs for businesses.
Although Togo is fostering a startup ecosystem and encouraging innovation, regulatory complexity still discourages some foreign investors from entering the market.
By working with IOR Africa, businesses can:
Navigate bureaucratic processes with expert customs clearance support
Manage both pre- and post-inspections for smooth, on-time compliance
Handle high duties, VAT, documentation, and cost management under DDP shipping terms
Expand into Togo’s growing startup ecosystem while staying fully compliant
