The N1 is Togo's logistics spine, running from the coast in Lomé all the way to the northern border at Cinkassé. It is the primary route for 3PLs moving oversized mining equipment and consumer goods into the landlocked Sahelian markets.

Togo’s GUCE (Guichet Unique du Commerce Extérieur) is a digital platform that centralizes all trade procedures. For 3PLs, this means that customs clearance, port fees, and transit permits are handled in a single digital environment, reducing clearance times from days to hours in 2026.

Absolutely. Togo is the regional leader in transit trade. 3PLs like R-Logistic and Centrimex offer specialized "Transit Bond" services, allowing goods to move through Togo to neighbor countries without paying Togolese import duties.

By 2026, the expansion has pushed LCT's capacity to 2.5 million TEUs. This has made Lomé the preferred port for global alliances (like 2M and Ocean Alliance), ensuring that Togolese 3PLs have the highest frequency of shipping connections in West Africa.
