Lomé
Togo
Togo does not use postal codes. Addresses in Lomé indicate the district (Tokoin, Nyékonakpoè, Bè, Agoè) and the main boulevard or avenue. The BP (Boîte Postale) is essential, as the Togolese francophone postal system relies heavily on post office boxes at central branches. Many streets lack official names or house numbers, so landmarks are used (roundabout, market, church, fuel station). For inland cities such as Sokodé, Kpalimé or Atakpamé, the quartier and a well-known reference point are indicated. In rural areas, addresses are descriptive: préfecture, canton, village. The recipient’s phone number is crucial because local couriers always coordinate delivery by phone due to informal addressing.

Shipping time to Togo
Estimated transit time:
Shipments from Italy to Togo require 6–9 working days. Lomé's Gnassingbé Eyadéma International Airport is well connected with major European and African hubs (Paris, Brussels, Addis Ababa, Casablanca).
Possible delays:
Customs clearance in Lomé, managed by the Office Togolais des Recettes (OTR), typically takes 2–3 days with proper documentation in French or English. The computerized SYDONIA system speeds up the process, but physical inspections are frequent. Delays occur during national holidays such as Independence Day (27 April), National Day (13 January) and religious periods (Tabaski, Ramadan with variable dates). Occasional corruption may slow procedures: flawless documentation reduces risks. Destinations in the north of the country (Dapaong, Mango) or in the plateau mountain area (Kpalimé, Badou) require additional overland transport on the Route Nationale, adding 2–4 days. During the rainy season (April–October), some dirt roads to remote villages may become difficult to access.
Togo: Practical Information for Trouble-Free Shipping
Which customs documents are required for Togo?
Togo requires a detailed commercial invoice (facture commerciale) in French or English with precise product description, 6-digit HS codes, unit and total value in Euro or CFA Franc, and net/gross weight. A signed déclaration de valeur from the sender is also required. For used personal belongings under 100,000 FCFA (~€150), “effets personnels sans valeur commerciale” with a simplified list is acceptable. A certificate of origin may be required for commercial goods. The Office Togolais des Recettes applies 18% VAT plus 5–20% customs duties depending on the category. The recipient must present ID or passport, proof of tax payment and any required authorisations (medicines, high-value electronics). A local clearing agent can simplify complex procedures.
How does the port of Lomé work for transit to Burkina Faso?
The autonomous port of Lomé is the main gateway of francophone West Africa: around 40% of goods transit to landlocked countries such as Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. For shipments destined for Burkina Faso via Lomé, an “en transit” declaration with the final destination is required. Customs clearance may take place in Lomé with customs seals for overland transport (Route de Cinkassé, 1000 km, 3–5 days) or be deferred to Ouagadougou. The Lomé–Ouaga corridor is well developed but subject to multiple controls. For shipments destined for Togo, the process is much simpler. Europacco handles only final deliveries within Togo: for third-country transit, Lomé should be indicated as the final destination.
Can I ship mobile phones or electronics to Togo?
Yes, electronics are in high demand but strictly controlled. Smartphones, laptops and tablets incur 10% customs duty plus 18% VAT. For commercial quantities (more than 2–3 identical units), an import licence from ART is required. A single device for personal use is normally problem-free. Lithium batteries follow IATA regulations. Drones require prior authorisation from ANAC. Gaming consoles and accessories have no restrictions. A detailed invoice with IMEI for smartphones and serial number for laptops is recommended; obvious undervaluation leads to holds and fines.
