In September, we gave an update about the expansion of PROGEC. As of January 2021 there will be a new update and the scope of the program will be extended again.
Mandatory approved certificate of conformity
All regulated products that fall within the scope of the conformity program require a certificate of conformity, approved by a certified inspection agency, to be imported into Gabon.
The update of the program means that you will soon need such a certificate for even more products. The expansion mainly concerns consumer goods. From July 1, 2021, you will need a certificate of conformity for almost all consumer goods. The main exceptions where you do not need a certificate of conformity are:
- Live animals and animal products
- Vegetable products
- Foods
Arrange your certificates of conformity at Pincvision
