How do you ship cargo to Togo from the UK?
Two routes. Sea freight through the Port of Lomé is the cost-effective choice for barrels, boxes, furniture, household goods and full 20ft/40ft containers — and because Lomé is a deep-water transshipment hub, it's well served by the major lines. Air freight via Gnassingbé Eyadéma is for urgent, fragile or high-value items, arriving in days. We handle LCL/groupage and FCL, collecting anywhere in the UK into our Dagenham depot.
How long does shipping from the UK to Togo take?
As a hub port, Lomé is comparatively well connected, so sea cargo generally takes 4–6 weeks port-to-port plus inland delivery. Air freight to Lomé is typically a few working days. We quote a realistic window per shipment.
What does it cost to ship to Togo?
Air freight is £5.90/kg plus a £20 handling fee. Sea cargo starts from £70 per bag and varies with volume — call or email for a quote. Everything is quoted all-in, in GBP, with no charges at the Togolese end. Prices to Lomé are in pounds even though Togo uses the CFA franc.
Door-to-door delivery in Togo
We collect from any UK address into our Dagenham depot, ship to Lomé, clear customs, and deliver to the recipient's door — Lomé, Sokodé and beyond. Prefer drop-off and collection at the other end? That works too.
Togo customs — what you need
Togo requires an ECTN / BSC (Bordereau de Suivi des Cargaisons) raised before the vessel sails ; it's the same cargo-tracking-note regime used across Francophone West Africa. Documentation is in French, and duty/VAT are payable on arrival. We raise the tracking note and prepare the paperwork so your shipment clears cleanly, and advise on restricted items first.
