Lome port: common risks and pre-shipment checks
Problems at Lome usually sit in document-to-batch matching; item-by-item checks before shipment avoid them.

Key points
- Typical risk is a mismatch between transit documents and inland requirements, causing delays at the border.
- Obtain the CoC before shipment for controlled goods; clear with the certificate and commercial documents.
- This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
