What You Need To Know To Export To Gabon

Ensuring Compliance To Gabon Conformity Assesment Programme (CAP)

With a rapidly expanding market for imports in Gabon and to help fulfill its responsibility to protect Gabonese consumers, Agence GAbonaise de NORmalisation (AGANOR), the Standards Body of Gabon has implemented guidelines called the PROgramme Gabonais d’Evaluation de la Conformité (PROGEC) for exports to Gabon. It is a conformity assessment and verification procedure applied to specific goods/products in the exporting country, to ensure their compliance with applicable Gabonese Technical Regulations and Mandatory Standards or approved equivalent International Standards.

Consignments subject to PROGEC must be accompanied with a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for Customs clearance in Gabon. Regulated product shipments arriving at Gabon Ports and Borders without a CoC will be liable for a penalty fee.
