Dakar port: common risks and pre-shipment checks
Problems at Dakar usually sit in document-to-batch matching; item-by-item checks before shipment avoid them.
Key points
- Typical risk is re-inspection triggered by certificate and invoice mismatches, adding storage and demurrage.
- Authorised bodies assess controlled goods before shipment and issue a conformity certificate to present on arrival.
- This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
